I can feel it taking over me

This is a declaration, of a war fought behind a veil

This is a revelation, as told through the age old tale

In which I've heard a thousand times before, nothing matters anymore, and I'm reminded as I stare at this revolving door

Of all the times I've failed, and all the times I've sworn, I'd never give up hope, and change what I stand for

I'm just a stranger, who made a wager, for my life. (I'm afraid that, so afraid that)

I might not escape this time

Caught in this nightmare, dreams turn to thin air

This is the heart against the mind

My life is on the line, it seems as if I'm running out of time

And my thoughts are consuming me, is this the person I'm suppose to be

It's like the fear of being buried alive, the more I try, the more I die inside.

I struggle to keep my dreams while awake, but the fear grows inside and puts me to sleep.

I'm just a stranger, who made a wager, for my life. (I'm afraid that, so afraid that)

I might not escape this time

Caught in this nightmare, dreams turn to thin air

This is the heart against the mind

The war rages on, but I will not quit

I've seen countless souls fall down that pit

The walls doubt built up, will fall to the ground

I'll rise back up, I won't be held down

I'm just a stranger, who made a wager, for my life

I might not escape this time

Caught in this nightmare, dreams turn to thin air

This is the heart against the mind
