Battle Cry
Nobody has ever over-thought
Under-thought
Not give a damn
Like I have
Nobody has ever given in
Tempted sin
Went back again
Like I have
Watched me fail
Run straight for hell
Scorched the earth
Ceded worth
Like I have
Nobody expected less
Of me
Failed me as bad
As me
Taking me
Down
With me
The way I see out of his
Is for one of us to take the fall
Either I let up on myself
Or I will cease to exist.
