Fear and anxiety controls my breath,
When will I learn how to overcome these tests?
Fear and anxiety controls my breath,
And all I want is to escape this fantasy.
My attempt at escapism continues to delude me,
now all I want is to escape this fantasy.
Will I ever be happy if,
I don't grow into the hero I've dreamt I could be?
I can be more than this.
Fear and anxiety controls my breath,
When will I learn how to overcome these tests?
My words are all I have,
This is all I am, I follow no one else's plan.
Without strength in my character,
I'm a hopeless wreck with no cause to stand for.
I can't live a life, covered by hate and shrouded in lies,
Rather than live a life that's not mine, I'd prefer to die.
Fear and anxiety controls my breath,
When will I learn how to overcome these tests?
Fear and Anxiety controls my breath,
All that's on my mind is what I lack.
We all want to be something special,
whether it's for ourselves or someone else.
All I want to be is a better man,
This heart, this flesh,
to be better than before.
That's all I ask.
I bite my fingernails back until they bleed,
but where I once felt my breath escaping, it stays with me.
I know I'm a work in progress, I know I'm far from perfect,
but at the end of my days, I pray that I'm worth being saved.

Maybe I'm the only one who thinks I can achieve great things,
But nothing worth having ever comes for free.
If I was given everything I wanted,
when would I learn any lessons.
I wouldn't learn anything.
If I can't say I'm proud of myself, what could I possibly have left?
If I can't face my fears, if I turn my back and run,
How can anyone be proud of what I've done?
How could anyone be proud of what I've done?
I've made mistakes along the way,
but they've made me into who I am today.
I've left breadcrumbs along the path,
incase I had to go back,
I've made mistakes along the way,
but they've made me into who I am today.
At the end of the day at least I know,
That through my struggles I am grown.
If I can't say I'm proud of myself, what could I possibly have left?
If I can't face my fears, if I turn my back and run,
How can anyone be proud of what I've done?
How could anyone be proud of what I've done?
It feels like I'm at war with myself.
Should I have been digging trenches, instead of burning bridges?
Finding my defences, instead of trying to, run from the real world.
Maybe I should have been making sure, I had somewhere left to go,
Before I got lost and left alone.
How could anyone be proud of me now?
If I can't say I'm proud of myself, what could I possibly have left?
If I can't face my fears, if I turn my back and run,
How can anyone be proud of what I've done?
How could anyone be proud of what I've done?
