Pressure's thorne

It rises in the silence a shadow in my mind A weight I never asked for a battle undefined Pressure like a pounding storm no warning no retreat I fight against the unseen force the ground beneath my feet The monster whispers "You are mine" Its claws dig deep inside my spine I won't surrender though it screams I'll break its hold and tear the seams You can't crush my soul no matter how you try I'll meet you in the darkness let the sparks fly Through the ache and the fire I'll stand and defy This monster won't take me; I refuse to die Every step is heavy but I drag myself along The echoes in my head a twisted burning song It feeds on doubt on every crack it finds But strength is born from battles fought inside The monster roars "You can't prevail" Its grip is tight my body frail But I see light beyond the haze The flames will turn this war ablaze You can't crush my soul no matter how you try I'll meet you in the darkness let the sparks fly Through the ache and the fire I'll stand and defy This monster won't take me; I refuse to die Pressure rising head's about to break But in this fight there's no give no take I am the warrior I'll claim my throne This battle is mine I'm not alone You can't crush my soul no matter how you try I'll meet you in the darkness let the sparks fly Through the ache and the fire I'll stand and defy This monster won't take me; I refuse to die I rise from the ruins the shadow grows small This fight isn't over but I'll answer the call I wear every scar like a crown on my head I live for the living; I'm not done yet I'm not done yet I rise from the ruins the shadow grows small This fight isn't over but I'll answer the call I wear every scar like a crown on my head I live for the living; I'm not done yet I'm not done yet
