“It’s about anybody that’s ever had anybody in their life who has been an addict – and I’ve been an addict – who you wish wasn’t, or you’re trying to help. People don’t realize the despair and hopelessness that is involved with someone who is in a fight that they really don’t feel they have a chance of winning. And oftentimes bringing an end to it, via suicide or any other means, intentional or otherwise, is a way out, and they don’t have enough of an inspiration to keep fighting. I’m hoping that people can hear it and realize that someone understands, and hopefully it’s a means of encouragement for them to keep fighting.”
The image in your eyes
Reflecting the pain
That has taken you
I hear it in your voice
So ridden with shame
From what’s ailing you
I won’t give up
So don’t give in
You’ve fallen down, but you can rise again
So don’t give up
When the demon that’s inside you is ready to begin
And it feels like it’s a battle that you will never win
When you’re aching for the fire and begging for your sin
When there’s nothing left inside
There’s still a reason to fight
Lost in your world of lies
I find it so hard to believe in you
Can it be real this time
Or just a part of this game
That we’re playing through
I won’t give up
So don’t give in
You’ve fallen down, but you will rise again
I won’t give up
Don’t let it take your soul
Look at me, take control
We’re going to fight this war
This is nothing worth
Dying for
Are you ready to begin
This is a battle that we are gonna win
I’ll be your reason to fight
Give you a reason to fight
