Fight for Me

Fight for Me
I cannot count the numbers
Their faces can hardly come to my mind
Yet everyday I open my hands to them
Those I fight for


This storm is overwhelming me I'm trying to weather it out somehow 
I stand on a slippery rock as the wave tries to dislodge my feet
Somehow I'm holding on
Somehow I'm still standing
Why won't anyone fight for me?


The walls are closing in around me
What I loved most I have lost
Yet somehow I'm never empty when another needs saving


This storm is overwhelming me I'm trying to weather it out somehow 
I stand on a slippery rock as the wave tries to dislodge my feet
Somehow I'm holding on
Somehow I'm still standing
Why won't anyone fight for me?


Don't ask me to give up fighting
Don't ask me to stop loving
It's instinct 
Don't ask me not to change the world
Don't ask me not to blow up this town
It's automatic
I'm so much inside me, I'm afraid of nothing now which is twice as terrifying as anything else that's ever made me tremble. 
I'm so much inside me, i don't let any break me. So everything tries to come up against my soul.


This storm is overwhelming me I'm trying to weather it out somehow 
I stand on a slippery rock as the wave tries to dislodge my feet
Somehow I'm holding on
Somehow I'm still standing
Why won't anyone fight for me?
​


Somebody fight for me because I can fight for everyone now, just lost how to fight for me
