Battle X City (feat. Samantha Bower)

Oh

Maybe in time I will make it through the worst of it
But for now I'm waging war with myself
And I can't seem to let the silence break
I've heard this all before, but nothing ever seems to change
Blacked out, run down, can't someone give me a break?
Force-fed irony, it's getting stale
I'm sick and tired of always blaming myself
But it's not socially acceptable to ask you to help me

Lay awake, counting days I could've had
Could it be that I've been locked inside my head
And all my fears and phobias are just regrets?

I know it's hard to see where it all went wrong
But when heaven comes around, I'll just keep my head down
It's all so crystal clear
(I'm already here)
Yeah, I know that things don't always go to plan
But life's too short to let the little things bring you down
Take the fight to the fault lines and make it what defines you
Yeah, make it what it defines you

We're forced into the shadows
So we fight, fight, we give into the dark just to feel the light
Bright, so bright, breaking through the doubt that illuminates me, oh
I just can't shake the weight of hollowed hope and numbered days
So we fight, we'll give into the guilt just to feel alive

Yet again, I'm sinking into solitude
What I'd give just to find some peace of mind
But after all is said and done, I can make this right

I know it's hard to see where it all went wrong
But when heaven comes around, I'll just keep my head down
It's all so crystal clear, I'm already here
Yeah, I know that things don't always go to plan
But life's too short to let the little things bring you down
Take the fight to the fault lines and make it what defines you

My head's in overdrive, I can't find the brakes
Collision course with a coma, coming up in first place, yeah, alright
Foot to the floor, put your pedal to the metal
Headed straight for the frontlines 'cause battle city never settles
You better play your cards right or you'll be headed home tonight

And I know it's hard to see where it all went wrong
But you've come so far to give it up, and I won't let you fall
Can't you see that the world's still turning?
'Cause tunnel vision will just lead you to the furnace
You gotta know, gotta know, that it's not your time to burn

I know it's hard to see where it all went wrong
But when heaven comes around, I'll just keep my head down
It's all so crystal clear, I'm already here
Now I can see that the world's still turning
So take my hand 'cause the curtain's calling
You gotta know, gotta know that it's not your time to burn
Yeah, it's not your time to burn
Yeah, it's not your time to burn
