As time passes by
I try not to cry
I wait for you, until I die
My life has been one hell of a ride
I am slowly but surely running out of time
I race for the good life
But I’m brought down by the sharp knife
I’m trying not to tell a lie
I just want to see you smile and not cry

I’m tired of being knocked down
I try to pick myself up off the ground
I want to fight through the dark, and claim the crown
But it’s hard when you can’t get that spark
It tears me apart, and rips out my heart

As the time passes by
I reach out, ‘cause I’m semper-fi
These demons I see come out of my mind
I’m running and running but not to hide
I’ll stand my ground, and rightfully fight
To fight for what’s supposedly right
I will fight to find my way to the light
I stand-alone against the monster through the night
This time it will be the last bit of my might

I’m tired of being knocked down
I try to pick myself up off the ground
I want to fight through the dark, and claim the crown
But it’s hard when you can’t get that spark
It tears me apart, and rips out my heart

As time passes by
I dream that I’ll die
He stalked me my whole life
I’m out of my mind
Trying to be apart of mankind
The scars of you I must find
You left me behind
Walking my frame of mind
Soon I hope to come unconfined

I’m tired of being knocked down
I try to pick myself up off the ground
I want to fight through the dark, and claim the crown
But it’s hard when you can’t get that spark
It tears me apart, and rips out my heart
Rips out my heart
It tears me apart
To just rip out my heart
