Claire Guerreso Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a fire raging on inside under my skin
Hear the glass as it shatters yeah its breaking
Like my bones but not my soul no
I am not the one who is gonna to be fadin

There must be a better place away for me
No I won't give up I will die searching
For a brighter sun a bigger sky a better place to live this life

I'm fighting
I'm fighting
Till I win this war
Till I win this fight
I'm fighting
Hear my battle cry
Ahahah
Hear my battle cry
Ahahah
Hear my battle cry
Ahahah

Get lost in my dreams when I fall asleep
Cause its the only way out of this misery
I lift my voice up high to the wind and the wild
To be free
Yeah I put my life on the line

I'm fighting
I'm fighting
Till I win this war
Till I win this fight
I'm fighting
Hear my battle cry
Ahahah

They shut out the sunlight
This world is made of madness
Survival of the baddest baddest

They shut out the sunlight
This world is made of madness
Survival of the baddest baddest

I'm fighting
I'm fighting
Till I win this war
Till I win this fight

I'm fighting
Hear my battle cry
