Sword Duel to the Death

It's a raging battle ---

Do we know who shall win?

It's hard to win against

The person you could've been.



You're scowlding yourself;

For what your mind is saying

You're trying so hard not to listen

--- Your mind is raging and racing.



It's a raging battle ---

Tell me, where is your sword?

Is this some fucked up way;

Of settling your own score?



[With yourself.]



You're sinking down lower ---

To the point where you can't stand

It's enough to leave you in blood

It's enough to drive you completely mad.



It's a raging battle ---

But somehow, you're not finished yet.

It's hard to win against yourself;

Especially when you're fighting ---

to the death.
