Holding Back the Fire

Lay down and surrender
You soldier at arms
You war will be over when you find peace inside
There ain't no way around it
No reason to fight
Life's worthwhile when you
Forget you're gonna die
For this minute I'm just fine
All my anger settles down
I'm holding back the fire
Holding back the fire
Words are washing away
Like the paths of my tears
Realigning my thoughts
Through the pages of the years
Stop making it worse!
Must accept what you're got!
Don't live your tomorrows
At just another day
Turn another page and live your life
And live your life
But my heart still bleeds
It's ripping the scars
I'm bearing the suffering
With thorns wounding my heart
I refuse to see!
Am I going blind?
Can't run from the burning
When the smoke is in your eyes
You're the only one to be blamed
It's your own sacrifice
Stop looking for justice
That is not how the works
Don't leave for tomorrow
What you can do today
What you can do today
Is change your life
Change your life
But my heart still bleeds
Oh! It's ripping the scars
I'm bearing the suffering
With thorns wounding my heart
I refuse to see!
Am I going blind?
Can't run from the burning
When the smoke is in your eyes
It's in your eyes!
For this minute I'm just fine
All my anger settle down
I'm holding back the fire
Holding back the fire
That is ripping my scars
I am bearing the suffering
Holding back the fire
Beware of your anger
Your heart's still on fire
Your war can't be won until
You find some peace inside
Lay down and surrender
Your soldier at arms
Can't run from the burning
When you're holding back the fire
Now my anger settles down
