I have given up br I have given in br But never will I br Collapse from within br I've been pummeled to death br Been beaten to a pulp br My soul could be swallowed br In a single gulp br I act immature br But that only hides br The pain that I always br Feel inside br Withdraw from the pain br Relax from the stress br Ignore all this torture br And your pain, suppress br I've been through hell br And came back alive br I am a soldier br With both strength and pridebr br Ryan Joseph Holderbr br
