More screams,
More lies
Days go by,
And I'm still wonderin' why,

I go near,
You go far,
Will my wounds heal my numerous scars,

I run for the door,
You force me to stay,
I had a chance to win,
But you still wanted to play,

I held the gun,
The trigger stayed,
I tried to fight,
But I needed a break,

(Chorus)
Worst case scenario,
I went left,
But you wanted to go,
This isn't a maze,
Not a game with a cheat,
You thought you would win,
But all you got was defeat,

(Guitar solo)

Downward spirals,
Ruptured dreams,
Calls for mercy,
Silenced screams,

(Chorus)

Now you open your eyes,
And look to the right,
Nothing is there but the rising rays of sunshine,

Stop your begs,
I've won the fight,
A long time ago,
I said goodnight and goodbye.

My story and my life inspired this piece. I hope people will get that when things get rough, and the enemy constantly wants you to lose, put on your armor and continue to fight.

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
