I've exhausted my best defenses
idle hands assaulting my senses
stare down, stand my ground
act before my spirit collapses
epic struggle to the end
feels like I'm fighting to breathe under water
every breath tastes like fire
this ocean that drowns me gets hotter
still standing, I won't beg you for my life
take what you will, winners or losers we both know what's right
nowhere to go, ravaged and battered with nothing to show
this was to be the place where I start over and find a new face
and take a look around
take a good look around.
