Fight

peto

Did I write it all down 

Have you all seen the clown 

Who no longer has fun around me

Have my words struck a chord 

Is this double edged sword 

Quite as sharp as I'd like it to be

Did I empty my head 

Have the words that I said

Been cathartic or did I just dwell 

In the depths of my mind 

Where all logic is blind 

As i run between heaven and hell

I remember the good 

And I know that it should 

Be the force I let drive me along 

But the bad is still there 

When I don't really care 

Is it here that I really belong 

So it's straight the heart 

Cause when life falls apart 

It's the feelings found here that ignite 

They may not bring a cure 

Or be virginal pure 

That's ok I'm prepared for the fight
