Story 'bout a friend of mine
Sick of trying all the time
The batlle rages in his mind

Silenced by the demon as the young man begins to weep
Losin' his life to bottled lies and begins to admit defeat
Thinkin' where did he go wrong as the demon tears out his soul
His flesh is lyin' to his heart it's saying he's got no place to go

He tried his own way again and again
Just can't win
Fighting a battle he was sure he couldn't win
Pondering his past and questioning his life
Just can't win
Losing a war he knows he just can't win

Thought about the friends he's lost along the way
Went crazy shot down dead ends and desolate streets
Givin' up was easy when there is nothin' but distrust and deceit
Always having to watch his back in fear as he's dragging his feet
