The battering ram taps at my door
It knocks me down just a little bit more
And it’s been this way since seven years old
Or as long as the story’s been told 
As I stared into chasming heights
Be the hero that love ignites
In superfluous form
The heat that keeps the body warm
As they try to contain
The way I burst out of pain
And they barked a reply
Because they fear what’s gonna die
But I left those chains behind 
With my peace of mind
As I settled for what they say
But it’s not okay
To just be half a soul
The surfer falls when the waves roll
If they are not steady strong
The balance in the place where they went wrong 
And I tumbled from the heights
Got stressed by the nights 
I woke to a storm
Is it just the world of form
That knocks me outta place
I’m done with the way I save face
Just to protect the lie
I am not afraid to die
Or stand up to the Beast
That seems to have a feast
At my expense 
But all that is in the past tense
When you look at the Now 
I woke up to It somehow
