Walking Away
I stood on the edge and waited
For the strength to fall into the light
I knew my demons bested me as I hesitated
Because I knew I’d lose tonight
I cast my mind back through the years
Back to promises I made, never delivered
I walked to the door of the cage
I opened my eyes, and began to walk away
How easy it is to walk away
When the fear of failure consumes your heart
How easy it is to fade away
As the fear of defeat tears you apart
I breathed in and still no hope
For the power to push through the wall
Weight of the world upon me, I struggle to cope
Still with the fear that I’ll fall
I sigh with despair and tears in my eyes
All of those times I stumbled back
I never could walk through the cage door
I could never muster the strength to attack
How easy it is to walk away
When the fear of failure consumes your heart
How easy it is to fade away
As the fear of defeat tears you apart
One day I’ll change
As the darkness inside strives to deny
You’ll never make it out of here alive
As despair falls and there’s tears in my eyes
Will I ever fight, will I make it out of here alive
How easy it is to walk away
When the fear of failure consumes your heart
How easy it is to fade away
As the fear of defeat tears you apart
