Crawl
Breaking Benjamin [Dear Agony-2009] Lyrics

A shadow of a man
I feel like I am barely present and barely alive.

I am nothing less
I am not inferior to anyone and I am not going to let anyone make me feel that way.

I am holding on
I am trying my best to survive and keep fighting.

Still holding on
Despite everything that has happened, I am still trying to hold on and not give up.

And every now and then, Life begins again
Occasionally, I find moments of joy and positivity that give me hope and make me want to keep going.

I'm not like you
I am different from you and I refuse to be like you or follow in your footsteps.

Your faceless lies
You are not truthful with me and I cannot trust anything you say.

Your weak, dead heart
Your heart is cold and lifeless, and you cannot feel any real emotion.

Your black dead eyes
Your eyes are dark and devoid of any real feeling or emotion.

I'll make it through, But not this time
I have the strength to get through this, but it won't be easy this time.

Your hope is gone, And so is mine
Neither of us have any hope left for the future, and it is a difficult truth to accept.

Live! Fight! Crawl back inside! Sick! Blind! Love left behind
I am struggling to keep going and it feels like I am regressing instead of moving forward. I feel sick and blind to the world, and I have lost the love that used to keep me going.

And I won't live your weak wicked lie
I will not continue to let you deceive me and control me with your lies and manipulation.

You pull me in, I'm one step behind
You keep trying to drag me down with you, but I am determined not to let that happen.

Show me where it hurts, And I will make it worse
If you show me your vulnerabilities and weaknesses, I am tempted to take advantage of them and hurt you even more.

Are you holding on? Keep holding on
I know it's difficult, but you need to keep fighting and not give up.

Dilated eyes, Shine for one last time
Even if you are barely hanging on, there is still a glimmer of hope and light shining within you.

You're not like me, Your faceless lies, Your weak, dead heart, Your black dead eyes
You are not like me, and I cannot trust anything you say or do because you lack genuine emotion and empathy.

I'll break you in, And let this die
I am going to defeat you and put an end to all of this pain and struggle.

I'm becoming a monster, Just like you
I am afraid that all of this fighting and darkness is turning me into the very thing I hate.

After it all, You'll try to break me too
Even if I emerge victorious from all of this, I know that you will continue to try and bring me down.

Falling forever, Chasing dreams
I feel like I am constantly struggling and fighting, but I still hold onto the hope that I can achieve my dreams.

I brought you to life, So I can hear you scream
I wanted to give you a taste of the pain and suffering that you have caused me, and I enjoy hearing you suffer in return.

I'm one step behind
I am still struggling to keep up and rise above all of the darkness and negativity in my life.
