Conditioned to the pain

Alone in this world no middle ground either friend or foe pick your corner and wait for the bell
learned my lesson the time before conditioned to the pain wrap my fist tighter this time cold blood run trough my veins knocked down by your second face
I will not stay down darkness tries to overcome me silent scream you will not hear blow to the soul alone alienated trapped cornered by an oppressive existence the pain is superficial life numbed
me long before remain standing against the odds conditioned to the pain I will not kiss canvas alone I'll take you down with me forced back
against the ropes barely able to stand the emotional slugfest
