The Storm

I work so hard for everything I have,

but none of it means a damn thing.

Because they're just things.

 

I give my all in everything I do,

but it seems like I can't do a damn thing.

Like I'm just a thing...

 

Every moment I'm fighting the fight,

but win or lose it comes back tomorrow night.

That ain't right.

 

I can't stay mad even if I wanted to,

but I'll just feel it again tomorrow night.

Just like every night...

 

The storm of my life is like hell's fire all around me!

It spins like a wild tornado surrounding me,

but I stand in the middle as my world comes undone

because I ain't giving up on anyone!

 

I'm constantly at war with myself every day,

but win or lose I'll fight again tomorrow I say.

I give it up, I say.

 

I fight a battle that no one ever sees,

but I'll never let my demons take over me!

That wouldn't be me!!!

 

The storm of my life is like hell's fire all around me!

It spins like a wild tornado surrounding me,

but I stand in the middle as my world comes undone

because I ain't giving up on anyone!

 

I can't stand on my own two feet again,

but I get up anyway. Like it's the only way...

 

I can't win this battle on my own,

but I fight it anyway, because it's for my soul!

 

It's so hard to see my many failures,

because I was afraid, but now I'm sure...

 

...I get up daily even though I don't want to...

but it's true. I'll break again too...

 

...but not this day...

 

The storm of my life is like hell's fire all around me!

It spins like a wild tornado surrounding me,

but I stand in the middle as my world comes undone

because I ain't giving up on anyone!

Don't give up on me because I'm the one...

fighting for you through the storm...
