Story behind the song
The lyrics are adapted from pieces of different poems written by my wife and details the struggle to cope with depression and mental illnesses in general, with minor contributions by me to help the song flow.
Lyrics
My life in tatters Nothing matters Crack my head and pull me out The box is open and I'm lashing out Hear the echoes of a broken mind I don't want to die I don't want to be alive I don't want to fight This losing battle for all time [Chorus 1] What do you do when the enemy is really you (What can I do?) Beat down and scream out, the darkness starts to guide you (What can I do?) Can't ignore it, overcome it though I try to let it kill me too I try to mend the wounds within I never knew it would hurt so bad To lose a piece of me I never had Another battle that I have to fight I don't want to die It hurts too bad to be alive Nothing left inside Nothing but the tears that I can't cry [Chorus 2] What do you do when the enemy is really you? (What can I do?) Beat down and scream out, the darkness that divides you (What can I do?) Can't ignore it, overcome it though I try to Let me kill it all and maybe it will kill me too You think I'm brave but you don't know what I've been thinking You see the calm but you don't hear my demons screaming You never dread the night or what just may come creeping You see my face but cannot fathom what' beneath it Don't come save me I'll just have to save myself Don't you hate me, I'll just have to hate myself Don't come save me, I'll just have to save myself Don't you hate me, I'll just have to hate my self Save it all for myself [Chorus 3] What do you do when the enemy is really you? (What can I do?) Make your peace with the darkness that's inside you (What can I do?) Don't ignore it Overcome the urge to fight the fall, you'll lose it all The war is always on your mind
