Lyrics

It’s a fight.
But there’s nobody else in the ring.
Just me.
And the lights.
Left hook to the ego, right cross to the pride
I’m fighting the monster that’s living inside
It’s a ghost with my face and a voice like a knife
The heavy-weight champion of ruining my life
It knows all my weaknesses, it knows all my fears
It’s been training in secret for twenty-some years
I’m dancing on canvas that’s slippery with blood
Trying to keep my head up out of the mud
But the air is so thin and the rounds are so long
I’m losing my rhythm, I’m losing the song
It’s shadow boxing in a room with no sun
A war with myself that can never be won.
I’m swinging at air, I’m fighting the dark
Looking for light but I can’t find a spark
It’s me versus me in the middle of the night
A beautiful struggle, a terrible fight
Yeah, I’m bruised and I’m broken, I’m losing the lead
But I’m still in the ring as long as I bleed!
The referee is silence, the crowd is the walls
I’m catching my breath as the curtain-call falls
But I won’t stay down, I won’t take the count
No matter the pressure, no matter the amount
Of the doubt that is flooding the back of my mind
I’m leaving the "victim" mentality behind
But it’s hard when the enemy lives in your chest
When you’re the one putting your soul to the test
I’m an oxymoron: a peaceful aggressive
A high-functioning mess that’s a little depressive
But I’m throwing the punches, I’m making a stand
With a heart in my chest and a glove on my hand!
I’m swinging at air, I’m fighting the dark
Looking for light but I can’t find a spark
It’s me versus me in the middle of the night
A beautiful struggle, a terrible fight
Yeah, I’m bruised and I’m broken, I’m losing the lead
But I’m still in the ring as long as I bleed!
Sometimes the shadow is stronger than I am.
Sometimes the shadow is the only thing I have.
It’s my reflection.
It’s my protection.
It’s the part of me I’m too afraid to love.
Stop fighting!
I’m hugging the shadow, I’m ending the dark
I found the light and I’m keeping the spark
It was me with myself in the middle of the night
Ending the struggle, ending the fight
Yeah, I’m bruised and I’m broken, but I’ve taken the lead
I’m finally at peace with the man that I breed!
The bell rings.
It’s over.
I’m still standing.
