Fleeing from this battlefield we call our lives
I can't find purpose for myself on these cold dark nights
I ask why I'm here, and get nothing in return
We all have a reason, or so I've heard
I know I won't get an answer
And honestly I don't need one
But the worst thing
But the worst thing
But the worst thing to do
Is run
This is not what I wanted
I'm turning into exactly what I hated
And I'm so sick of being angry
Of living this life I lead
Hurting my loved ones and hurting myself
When will this stop
I'm being pulled down everyday
By these heavy weighted chains
And my legs are growing weak
Growing weak
Growing weak
I can't forgive myself for things I've done
My hands are stained, and my body's going numb
*Nik*
You'll never understand what it's like to be alone
Now all I see is red, all I see is red
I'm trying my best to move on
To continue this life of regrets
*Nik*
I've finally lifted off the ground, I've spread my wings this time
And I'm never coming down
What's done is done
And I'm not
Turning back
*Nik*
I've lived my life taking one step forward
And three steps back
I've come to realize that I've gotta face my problems
Head on
I'll ignite this torch
To guide my way out
And I know this flame will fade
But it will never go out
Never go out

Stranded

I live with a broken soul
Being pulled by the current
Stuck in the undertow
Stranded at sea
I'm downing
I can't breathe
As these waves cover me
This anchor
Weighs me down
To the deep
I'll never be found
Broken arms and broken legs
This water's too hard to tread
Tired heart and tired soul
My body's starting to get cold
Is this who
Who I wanted to be
Or am I just too blind to see
The difficulties
Of wanting to be free
Set me free
Disconnect
These chains
From my feet
For so long I've wanted to forget what I've done
To hurt everything that I've grown to love
From these depths I can't see the sun
But I won't run from the ones that I love
Every day I swim a little closer to the shore
Every day these chains rust a little more
