Stand Up & Fight

I've tucked tail and run
Like a beaten puppy
To a corner to hide
I've put on a poker face
Perfect as a mask in a robbery
Just to conceal a sinner's pride

I wander like a lost hoodlum
Too numb to even stake
A light post on a corner as my home
They tell me I need to learn myself
But truth is I know all too well
Just what comes when you find yourself alone

I find new ways to destroy whats killing me
A gauntlet made of my own demons
Their jeering faces laughing at every move
I dodge and run, nurse wounds and cry
I lie down and wither inside
When there's only one thing left to do

Fight

I want to scream like a fucking maniac
Till the windows rattle and your heart breaks
Till you crumple in the floor crying out my name
I want to splatter you on the concrete
Broken and bruised for the mess you made
I am tired and ready to rain tenfold the pain

Bow down and take this
I can do this no more
Two decades of anger rising
1... 2... 3... 4...
