| Through the eyes of the struggle Get up, get out and get it Scream, demand what you need Stop accepting what you want That's what it screams to us Trying to get rid of us The struggle doesn't want us We want it since we keep it with us What the struggle see is addicts to her drama Our desire to know her and our need to show her We say we wish to rid ourselves of her Still we feel more alive when we have it That's why we die Lost within the struggle Bleeding, fighting, as we struggle Because we stay in it's eyes Seeing the sight it gives us The sites we seek to find it The greed we think we need she gives us This meaningless endless battle to have When we have not even honored what we once had So lets struggle on blindly as she tries to shake us off Making us feel awful when we take her on And be for warned when it lets us know I see you think I'm what you want But the struggle is not what you want to own Jalili B.
