Breathing... fighting ... praying
For you, for what I believe in my heart to be true
Darkness consumes as the stars break and fall around
You're a shadow in the corners of my mind
A demon within my soul that I need to survive
For is it not true, we need a little darkness to see the purity in the light
A hero is so many things but to be flawless is who this hero seems to be
I am who I am a fighter for what I believe in no longer what I am told to do
I break free from the shackles of righteousness to be truly, completely me
Danger comes from within the shelter of what I was told to know was right
Lies and deceit as so easily spread as truth and a scripture of who I should be
Break me down and rip me limb from limb with your misplaced truth
Torture me to discover that I am but a man of flesh and blood
I can be no more than the person I feel I am within
I hide behind a mask that crumbles away with every faltering smile
Every tear I forgot to cry, every silent scream makes me fight harder
A forgotten memory that breaks through the twilight hours makes me stronger
I am living once more I am no existing... no longer a cog in a machine
I am who I want to be, who I thought I was all this time
I am a fighter, a man who can be strong in weakness and weak within the strength I need
I am but a pawn in a game of life' truth and deceit
