Primrose Path - A War Within

You’re a mess, you’re a shell

Of your former self

I digress, it’s what’s left

Of nothing grateful

Now your shadow stands taller than you could ever be

I am alive

Defying gravity

Yet you take pride

You take pride in yourself

But all you’ll ever live by

Is just a shadow of someone else

That you wish you could be

You always claimed to be a saint

And talk about the love you spread

But at the end of the day

You never fail to show your true self

Distress

Cause you aren’t the same as us

Chase away what lifts you up

Your heart turned from stone to dust

Your world is just fantasy

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

No matter how hard you struggle you’re still starting over

At least I still have a hope

That wants to believe

So don’t act like a victim when you turn the other cheek

Your bleeding heart’s not on your sleeve

Live by what you mean

Not what you fake

So tell me what is it worth fighting for

When everything that you live by is a lie

So tell me what is it worth fighting for

When everything that you live by is a lie

You’re living your life full of lies

You’re hiding behind a disguise

When you realize

That real lies

Come from real eyes

It maybe your demise

Don’t take pride

In living a lonely life

Distress

Cause you aren’t the same as us

Chase away what lifts you up

Your heart turned from stone to dust

Your world is just fantasy
