Darkness invades and Light is betrayed
We start to see not white or black but a blurry grey
Left to our thoughts to find the difference between night and day
Doomed to rewrite the past with different words, forgotten to remember we had forgot
Again and again the shadows rise drowning the candles we all hold and had sought
Still, the embers do not fade, like a constant faint heart beat providing hope for tomorrow
Trapped in the eternal battle between “good” and evil”, each new wave bringing more woes
Chances plummeting, dreams falsely woven yet, so easily torn
Stars overwhelmed by the suffocating night, spirits broken and worn
Odds forever against us, you might begin to ask why even bother to try
We are crazy, whether blessed or cursed, forever ready to battle the lies
Clinging to the faded dream, entranced by the ideals we spent our lives for
Phantoms choke us, our blood stains the ground, striking our heart but not our core
A burning desire letting us push through every sorrow and despair
We are insane, take it as you will, warriors soul always prepared
Tears may not show, the blood may not seep
Stand tall against our foes, as our hearts weep
Burdened with a destiny nearly impossible to complete
Crying spirits and broken hearts unable to be beat
Rising past every pain and misery, our flames of ambition consuming our lives
The sweat you’ll never see, we’ll always feel, praying to do more than just survive
Only one shot, losing ourselves to our passion as a necessity to pretend to thrive
Torturous existence, to know all your doubts are true and no one else ever seems to care
Giving yourself up to your goals, seeing past the heartbreak, forced to push through the despair
Climbing on the outside, inside forever doomed to fall
Smiles as fake as our chance to succeed, we must stand tall
Wrestling with our fate, our natures against our beliefs, struggling to embrace the pain
Aspirations blowing everything else way, our determination taking over, we are insane
