i've exhausted my best defenses, idle hands assaulting my senses. stare down, stand my ground, act before my spirit collapses. epic struggle to the end, feels like i'm fighting to breathe underwater. every breath tastes like fire, this ocean that drowns me gets hotter. still standing, i won't beg you for my life. take what you will, winners or losers we both know what's right. nowhere to go, ravaged and battered with nothing to show. this was to be the place where i start over and find a new face. and take a look around. take a good look around.
