My Effigy

I'm sick, sick of holding on I'm sick of who I have become There was a time I drifted Numb to every word you'd say Trapped beneath the weight of thoughts I could not chase away Hours stretched to lifetimes Stuck inside my head Crossed beneath the doubt That I've never shed These echoes of a battle Scars I've never shown I can't see the end Lost in the unknown Fighting endless combat I'm losing to myself How long can I hold on In this forsaken hell I'm sick, sick of holding on I'm sick of who I have become Time has passed, but demons stayed They never lost their grip The past still follows close behind With claws that slowly rip Though I healed on top The cuts still burn within Still walking on the edge of where the dark begins These echoes of a battle Scars I've never shown I can't see the end Lost in the unknown Fighting endless combat I’m losing to myself How long can I hold on In this forsaken hell You're my reflection You've watched me burn I've walked through fire But now it's your turn Every breath feels like a fight Clawing through the dark But I'm not alright I'm punching the wall just to feel a thing Addicted to violence, your puppet on strings Suffocating myself, till my heartbeat returns Still trapped in your fire, where sanity burns These echoes of a battle Scars I've never shown I can’t see the end Lost in the unknown Fighting endless combat I'm losing to myself How long can I hold on In this forsaken hell
