Lyrics to The Contender

The world has dragged me down. Yet I share these thoughts of

life as I digress. I stand so tall. I've been through such troubling times. But

these feelings are leaking from my chest. It s these choices I have made. What

difference does it make? For there are few words I could share to describe the

feelings leaking from my chest. How do I breathe the air that you ingest? How

do I live each day knowing you are just so out of reach? Oh, but it s these

decisions I have made. It s these moments I've chosen for myself. I thought I

knew this. I thought I knew it all. Do save me of my missed opportunities. For

I am unable to breathe the air you breathe. You are just beyond my grasp. You

are just outside my life. I will love the day when words will set us free. What

else can I say? What words will find my troubled tongue? My lips stumble upon

these frail words, slipping into empty sentences. My conscious reminds me that

some things are better left to their fate. So with that, I ll take my leave of

these thoughts and retrace my steps. Retrace my steps back to loneliness.
