Every Second

I’m broken, I’m hoping
For a reason to keep on going
Doors open and closing
Everything seems like slow motion

I’ve chosen this moment
To stop my self-erosion
I’m focused on owning
Myself, my own opponent

But in this moment that is falling apart
I keep thinking
Is the path I chose, where I should start?
I keep sinking

I’m dying every second I’m alive
Every second I’m alive
I’m trying to feed the fire that’s inside me
The fire that’s inside

I’m dying every second I’m alive
This life’s reflection in my eye
It reminds me, the scars made me stronger

I won’t go quietly
Won't let the past confine me
I don’t know why I see
What I've tried to put behind me

But in this moment that is falling apart
I keep thinking
Is the path I chose, where I should start?
I keep sinking

I’m dying every second I’m alive
Every second I’m alive
I’m trying to feed the fire that’s inside me
The fire that’s inside

I’m dying every second I’m alive
This life’s reflection in my eye
It reminds me, the scars made me stronger

Every second I'm alive
I'm getting closer to my grave
I've tried my best to just survive
Feels like I'm broken everyday

I'm hoping that I make it
I'm open, but I'm vacant
I'm closed inside this basement
Time to try to fight to shake it

I'm shaking and I'm waiting
Still debating on which way to go
I'm swaying and I'm fading
No escaping, still afraid to know

Inside my thoughts are racing
So I'm bracing for a weighted stone
The world that's on my shoulders
That I may just have to change alone

I’m dying every second I’m alive
Every second I’m alive
I’m trying to feed the fire that’s inside me
The fire that’s inside

I’m dying every second I’m alive
This life’s reflection in my eye
It reminds me, the scars made me stronger
