Strife - Trivium

My anxiety’s clawing

Out from deep within me

It burns within as my throat

Begins to cauterize

This negativity’s leeching

Any shred of composure

Rationale has decayed and left

Me bound in madness

I reach for calm

I starve for a balance unknown

This burden tortures me deep in my soul

I’ve found that strife won’t make the bleeding stop

Nor will it take away the pain

I feel like this search is all in vain

And I struggle to find my way

How I yearn for the silence

For an end to the voices

The calamity grows and the

Deafness leads to disarray

Guilt buries me alive

In a coffin—criticized

I shouldered the blame and dug

This hole for me to lay in

I reach for calm

I starve for a balance unknown

This burden tortures me deep in my soul

I’ve found that strife won’t make the bleeding stop

Nor will it take away the pain

I feel like this search is all in vain

And I struggle to find my way

I’ve found that strife won’t make the bleeding stop

Nor will it take away the pain

I feel like this search is all in vain

And I struggle to find my way

I… I… I… I… I… I… I… I…

I’ve found that strife won’t make the bleeding stop

Nor will it take away the pain

I feel like this search is all in vain

And I struggle to find my way

I’ve found that strife won’t make the bleeding stop

Nor will it take away the pain

I feel like this search is all in vain

And I struggle to find my way
