Survivor

They’re here, lining the streets Can’t stop the ghosts from giving me cold feet Withdrawn and filled with doubt Giving up breeds a wound that bleeds out I hear, calling my name The sinner that stays to fight the lost saint All skills that I have honed Are gone as the dogs are here to pick at my bones I’ve backed down Conceding that I’ve lost at this fight for too long I'm washed up Surviving on a beach with nothing to eat I’m down and out I’m here, lying awake The ghosts are back to haunt me as I pray The snake’s head has found my lair The poison will cease if I cut off all my I’ve backed down Conceding that I’ve lost at this fight for too long I'm washed up Surviving on a beach with nothing to eat I’m down and out I’ve caved in The dust in this pit clouds all the oxygen I bow out In this competition fighting for love I’m down and out Deep down, in the hole The darkness seeks to claim all of my hope I hear, the train has come To take me home to the place where I belong I’ve backed down Conceding that I’ve lost at this fight for too long I'm washed up Surviving on a beach with nothing to eat I’m down and out I’ve caved in The dust in this pit clouds all the oxygen I bow out In this competition fighting for love I’m down and out
