The Battle Of J. Casey

I've been falling for so long now
Forgotten what the ground feels like
I try so hard to be strong
But life seems so far away
Can I find a way through this
Or did I lose the strength to hold on?
To hold on

As the bright lights of success fade
And the spark of glory dies
I look to the shadows of failure
To understand the reasons why
I can't reach out for what's gone

Waking dreams haunt me
Backwards thoughts betray
Illusions of what was cloud my mind
I can't keep the demons away
Impossible to move forward
'Cause I, I'm chained to yesterday

My visions keep me prisoner
Harsh memories make me bleed
I must find the strength to see beyond the sun
To find that which belongs to me
That which makes me stronger
That which makes me stronger

Waking dreams haunt me
Backwards thoughts betray
Illusions of what was cloud my mind
I won't push these demons away
Impossible to move forward
Until I break the chains of yesterday
