This world taught me how to fight, it never offered a way out.
Against the tide, against the wall, it was a fight against myself,
Lost to hate
Loss of faith
Living under a fog of war, I needed more than to lash out in vain.
I needed more than a mask,
More than just escape,
looking back at the world
It was I who had to change
My family taught me how to love, my conscious told me why to care
Among the ruins I was woken up to echoing cries of despair.
I listened to their stories of mistakes and misery,
Every life a compass, pointing to the true enemy
Who to love
Who to fight
You are your enemy
If I can't better myself
I better be dead and gone
Cause if I can't face myself
How do I face what is wrong
Tomorrow's not a promise that's one truth guaranteed,
Ill suffer for my indiscretions but they won't bury me.
I need to face myself, before I face off for my life
I know who to love
And who to fight
