Uphill Battles

I've been hearing things
That make me feel like fucking dying
There's no more honesty
Just stolen words everyone's heard
but you're not fooling me

I wish that you could see
How hard these past few years have been
I've given everything
To be criticized
Pushed aside
I won't go quietly

There's a fire in my chest
It's burning me
But I don't want to put it out

Impossible to stomach this
Only lies and emptiness
Impossible to stomach you
And everything you do

Can you see my battle scars
Covering my heart
