[Titel: Succeeding Is a Fight] [Verse 1] I'm worn thin by the pressure every day. Same damn questions. Dead weight on me. How long till these walls crack and give way? [Pre-Chorus 1] Shut the door. Hold your breath. We're caught between the screams. Not above. Not below. Just pinned inside the machine. [Chorus] No hope shows mercy. No life without the blade. No road without the bruises. No dawn without decay. Don't laugh when I keep crawling. Succeeding is a fight. [Verse 2] Another season, and I'm still digging through the static. I keep waiting for a clean cut through this damage. But every morning wears the same mask. Still I stand up and say my name. [Pre-Chorus 2] Cold is moving in. Time is bare. Still I refuse to vanish there. [Chorus 2] No hope shows mercy. No life without the blade. No road without the bruises. No dawn without decay. Don't laugh when I keep crawling. Succeeding is a fight. [Bridge] All this pressure. All this failure. All the names I never speak. I've been hauling what won't heal down this rusted street. Change is coming. Fear is coming. I can hear it at my door. But I won't kneel like some spare ghost waiting just to be ignored. [Last Chorus] No hope shows mercy. No life without the blade. No road without the bruises. No dawn without decay. I may be tired. I may be torn. But I still clench my fist tight. Succeeding is a fight. [Outro] Gasping for my breath. Grinding my teeth. The dark came close. It tried to take the wheel. All the pressure and all the failure nearly dragged me under. But they did not win. Not yet. I'm still here. And I still fight.
