Walking down my street
Darker than the night
I see crime in the alleys
I'm indifferent

Something doesn't feel right
I feel my heart racing
Eyes in all corners
I'm afraid

Someone's in my way
I see a challenge
I stop, I smile
I'm confident

My face goes red
My eyes burn
I scream, I yell
I'm angry

Blood on my face
Hands start shaking
I gasp for air,
I'm tired

Stream of tears,
Leaving my eyes
I stutter, I cry
I'm hurt

Looking for relief
I limp, I fall
Reaching for the light
I'm dying

It was once when it rained,
I decided to get trained,
But I never made it to the gym,
Because I didn't know how to swim,
So heavily it had rained.

where are you running to?
who are you running from?
is there any escape?
what do you hope to find?

do you think it's all a lie?
do you think that nothing's real?
what can you believe?
what are you sure of?

are your strengths failing you?
are you subdued by weaknesses?
is there no hope left in you?
is there none you trust?

is everyone out to get you?
and there's nowhere to hide?
all you see is falling apart?
is this bullet your only resort?
