See that tear in my eye 
Well it's full pain
If I give up now
Does it mean everything I've struggled for
Done in vain?
I know times get rough
But it seems as if my good just isn't....
Good enough
I try an give my all
Still some how I seem to fall
I look for inspiration 
And all I find is temptation 
Leading to my corruption
So now I'm thinking and breathing
Heavy 
Just waiting on the day that 
All this will break me
I feel like I'm chained at my hands and
My feet
So instead of trying 
I lie in defeat 
Ashamed of my failures
At times I feel like this war I'll never
Win
And my only option is to retreat
