Fight for Life
Verse 1
The darkness is closing in, and the stars are extinguished
Whether you’re a friend or foe, it’s hard to distinguish
Can I trust myself? Is that me in the mirror?
Holding on is hard when I all see are my errors.
I soldier on in life and never look back
If I did I’d end up missing all that I’ve had
No one said that life would be easy
Enjoy the good moments, even if briefly.
Chorus
It’s the fight for life, and I’m barely holding on
Even when I want to cry, I have to be strong
Is there a point of living when all I feel is pain?
Is carrying on worth it all; will there be some sort of gain?
Verse 2
Will I ever reach the light at the end of the tunnel?
Every moment of my life has been a constant struggle
Am I meant to suffer for all eternity?
I must be cursed; I’m my own enemy.
I’m been fighting all my life
Everyday I feel like I’m being crucified
For mistakes that were by no means my own
I’ve been torn apart, straight to the bone.
Chorus 2
It’s the fight for life, and I finally see the light
Among the darkness of my mind, it’s so bright
I feel a warmth in my heart and in my weary soul
For the first time, I finally feel whole.
The darkness is closing in, and the stars are extinguished

I soldier on in life and never look back
If I did I’d end up missing all that I’ve had
No one said that life would be easy
Enjoy the good moments, even if briefly.
