Warrior

It's so much easier to make the same mistakes

to wage a war upon myself

It's so much simpler to smile in your face

to wish that I were someone else

 

I'm so **** hurtful

but only to my own skin

I'm worth so much more

but I'll still draw blood again

 

And when will I let myself go                                                                        

 

And when will I push far                                                                                

 

And when will It be to late                                                                              

 

And when will I stop opening the same scars                                              

 

It's barely past midnight

Red is all I see

A innocent boy who's shattered

A beautiful catastrophe

 

But who will help him now

Cause he's still making the same mistakes

But who will fight for his life

When he feels he's nothing but a waste

 

And when does this war end                                                                          

 

Cause I still crave razors against my skin                                                     

 

When I look into the mirror                                                                            

 

It's still a reflection I can't withstand                                                              

 

Back at war again

Under your sleeve is the battlefield

A million casualties

Tallied are battles that have healed

 

Be a warrior

Scar tissue is tougher than regular skin

Be a warrior

Find your strength from within
