Battle

I’ll keep fighting this losing battle, I know I’ll meet my end
‘Cause I’d rather go down than run away, and watch my enemy walking proud
I’d rather leave a scar that might make them think twice, than cowardly live on the rest of my life
This is the fight I’ll never win but in this fight I’ll never give in
This is my, this is my,
This is my losing battle
You can call me scared and you can call me weak but if I only get one chance
Then I choose to fight to try and make it better for another life
My time for victory has passed now I do what I must
This is my losing battle but I won’t give up the fight
Now look here if you had one chance to fight to the death
Would you take it or sit by and let it pass to the next
I’m telling you I will never ever succumb to the threats
I’m gonna stand up and rebel to the last of my breath
Now don’t be scared brother put on your war paint
Beat on your chest brother lets make them all faint
And we can trust one another because we all ain’t
Gon’ give up to the suckers because we’re all brave
Even if it’s a hundred to one no we won’t give up
Even if we’re shrouded in doubt no we won’t give up
Even if our backs to the ropes no we won’t give up
Even if it looks suicidal no we won’t give up
So come and join me my friend and arm yourselves to the teeth
We’re gonna fight and defend even if our future is bleak
And then our souls will ascend after our righteous defeat
And when it’s done the end our legacy will speak
This is my, this is my,
This is my losing battle

The Ocean

She walked him down to the oceanside
Lovers bound to the last goodbye
As she held him close she spoke the words
I will always love you but the words were not returned
She laid him down to rest in the ocean
Sifting through her fingers she felt him
As he slipt away she spoke the words
I will always love you but the words were not returned
She will make his wish come true
And if you say to take you down to the ocean
Then I will let you swim away
So if your wish is to see the ocean
Then I will let you swim away from me
She dreamt of his kiss from the last time
Before she gave him over to the tide
As she watched him float away she spoke the words
I will always love you but the words were not returned
Her knees gave way falling into the sand
Vision blurred from her tears
As she saw the ocean take him she spoke the words
I will always love you but the words were not returned
She will make his wish come true
Even if you won’t see you will know the ocean breeze
Blowing against your skin before sinking into the ocean
And if you say to take you down to the ocean
Then I will let you swim away
So if your wish is to see the ocean
Then I will let you swim away from me

Stringless Puppet
04:32

She was hidden behind the lies that were so hard for her to swallow
Now wishing she could reclaim the ignorance that made her so mellow
Diving deeper into her thoughts knowing well she’ll never come to surface
Till now drowning in her own thoughts has been her only true purpose
They say never give up but all the doors seem to lead out
How can she call for help when she doesn’t know how to shout?
How can she stay afloat when the anchor tells her it’ll be alright?
This puppet’s lost her strings and with it her will to fight
This puppet’s lost her strings, and she’s not going home
This puppet’s lost her strings, now she walks on her own
This puppet’s lost her strings, masterless she’s left to think
This puppet’s lost her strings, and she can never go back home
She loved too long that she never thought it was possible to leave
But strings so tight she couldn’t breathe
The angel on her shoulder gave up and went away
Cause not even it knew what to do or what to say
She’s tried hard to think about what she’s trying to find
But all she found was questions in her mind
She doesn’t know where to go, and doesn’t know what to say
Now she’s free it’s a different kind of pain
This puppets lost her strings, and she’s not going home
This puppet’s lost her strings, now she walks on her own
This puppet’s lost her strings, masterless she’s left to think
This puppet’s lost her strings, and she can never go back home
But even without strings
And even with love's sting
But even without strings this puppets shown she can stand
And even with love’s sting this puppets shown she can break a man
