Fight or Survive

Standing in the ring again and waiting for the bell
You've been through this a hundred times, anyone can tell
You and your battle scars
Your missing teeth
Your slightly hopeless eyes
Your body falls apart while you are dead set on your prize

You've never won a single fight in your entire life
Everyone is looking at that fright inside your eyes
And the referee, the audience, they pity your poor soul
That destroys the very body it is trying to make whole

How many tries would it take you to win
You're going in circles, your blood's running thin
Can't you feel that your battle will cost you your life
You seem hell-bent on dying, 'cause it's fight or survive

Your drive will steer you straight into an immovable wall
Your own demise is pulling you and you answer every call
You keep bolting and charging, you're off before you blink
This will become the death of you if you don't stop to think

Everyone is hoping that one day you could just see
Everyone just wants you to turn back and become free
Of the compulsions, fixations that pull you to your grave
Continuing this march of doom, nobody calls it brave

You've never won a single fight in your entire life
Everyone is looking at that fright inside your eyes
And the referee, the audience, they pity your poor soul
That destroys the very body it is trying to make whole

How many tries would it take you to win
You're going in circles, your blood's running thin
Can't you feel that your battle will cost you your life
You seem hell-bent on dying
