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.

Inspired by Ivan Torrent's song with the same title. He's an amazing composer, and I highly recommend checking out his work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jjCdJp8qhE
