Creeping like a maggot into my head
Crawling at my flesh with nails
Doubt fills my wound like saltconstant agony reminds me I'm not dead
Noting all my defeats and fails
Never forgetting I am at faultBut I put the beast underneath
I put my scars under my sleeve
Raise my head up highI am holder of my heart beneath
All fears are forced to leave
Sweat to my brow until I die
