fighting back

By kazmir

you could incinerate me
burn me to the ground
and from the ashes you see
still you'd hear the sound
of me bleeding and screaming
the truth beneath deceit
my confession unconvincing
and i'm knocked right off my feet
cause this time the wolf is real
my reflection in his teeth
i can't make this wound heal
for this time the monster's me

unlock my box of rage
you'll find my heart still
beating in an iron cage
holding back my will
all i used to be
painted nightmare black
all that you can't see
within me, fighting back

you could incarcerate me
hold me under lock and key
and still you couldn't keep me
from climbing up this tree
thinking about jumping
let the branches break my fall
let them slice and leave me leaking
so you could see it all
how i'm having trouble feeling
the ground beneath my feet
how i can't make these wounds heal
cause the problem here is me

unlock my box of rage
you'll find my heart still
beating in an iron cage
holding back my will
all i used to be
painted nightmare black
all that you can't see
within me, fighting back
