This War, This Life

this war inside me rages on
red hot pokers in my gut
and my heart running marathons
being chased by I don`t know what
don`t know why but I start to run
what`s chasing catches my breath
trips my trigger-fingered shotgun
and I rise to face my own death
yesterday I danced
memories of living life out loud
spin me around
`til I remember how to find it
flip my switch again
show me where I buried all my joy
take my blinders off
I know there are colours in the crystal
the fear inside me wages war
razor sharp daggers slicing
`til I can`t feel it anymore
unholy gods sacrificing
the part of me that`s crying out
and begging for this life of sin
the last something I care about
brace myself to take it on the chin
once upon a time
awakened with reasons to live
I opened my eyes
to see technicolour rainbows
turn it on again
I`m desperate for those forever skies
I think I`m ready
to take back this life of mine for good
