Lyrics
The Struggle Within
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real
Kicking at a dead horse pleases you
No way of showing your gratitude
So many things you don't want to do
What is it? What have you got to lose?
What the hell?
What is it you think you're gonna find?
Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind
Struggle within, it suits you fine
Struggle within, your ruin
Struggle within, you seal your own coffin
Struggle within, the struggling within
Home is not a home, it becomes a hell
Turning it into your prison cell
Advantages are taken, not handed out
While you struggle inside your hell
Reaching out
Grabbing for something you've got to feel
Closing in
The pressure upon you is so unreal
Struggle within, it suits you fine
Struggle within, your ruin
Struggle within, you seal your own coffin
Struggle within, struggling within
Struggle
Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real
What the hell?
What is it you think you're gonna find?
Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind
Struggle within, it suits you fine
Struggle within, your ruin
Struggle within, you seal your own coffin
Struggle within, struggling within
