It's a long fight


i just wanted to run

i always dreamt of running

 

i was left in a bind

contract with the devil forever binding

 

my blood poured

forever pouring

 

my tears started to fall

i left my heart falling

 

when i saw myself dying

i finally stopped lying

 

i forced myself to go out

i slowly dug my way out

 

this hole is so deep

it takes so long to crawl our of the deep

 

every time i almost get to the outside

i’m shoved back inside

 

but I continue to fight

i will never stop fighting
