Testo Sha-na-na

I try to rise above it all
but the world is so big and I'm so small
I wonder why I was even born,
I feel so destined just to fall
Through all the pain and the heart breaks,
I try to learn from my past mistakes
But in my heart I know that
there's a reason for all of this I'm sorry I can't see what has been done for me
And I realize that I am my own worst enemy
Day by day building up why can't they just shut up
Snapping on the people that are closest to me
We try so hard to fight the clock but it never goes away
we try to keep it together for one more day
Fighting hard to win the war that rages deep inside
conquering my fears, but I must push further to
Burn my soul- cleanse me from impurity
Pierce my flesh- destroy insecurity
Bruise my eyes- wipe away the tears to
Kill my self- destroy my fears
The past that, that haunts me, it tries to, to stop me
But I know I am not the same as I was before
The new things oppose me, they try to dispose me Integrity can only be tested through trials
Alone I stand against the tide,
I'm sick of swallowing my pride
I let it go and realize
to put what is true first
I'm dying, I'm dying to myself,
I'm dying, I'm dying tonight
This I swear today,
I'LL MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE
