Lift up your arms discouraged one—
When you feel like giving up.
My mind is like a puzzle or a Rubics Cube,
But figuring me out is something that you shouldn’t do.
I’ve been searching for a lifeline,
For what seems like a lifetime.

Never feared for anything.
Never shamed but never free.
I work hard—
No sleep.
A deal made with the Devil,
After all it does not settle.

Knife in my back!
You can’t take it back!
There’s nothing but pain left here I know.
What’s killing me is that I’m killing you
You made this…
A monster for all to see.

You startle easy.
I’ll never fall—
A monster for all to see.
I fell for the danger.
The old me has vanished.
The limits of the dead!

The once grey word
Has color once more.
Reds, blues, yellows, greens, oranges.
More than just the rainbow.
I’m a fire
That will never be put out..!

Keep what you know.
Don’t lose the thought,
Don’t lose yourself,
Don’t lose your mind!
I know how that feels—
See the Devil in I!

Help the helpless,
Heal the weak,
Because what you think
Is what you don’t know.
I’ll never burn out.
I AM a fire.

Can I help?
I am rock ‘n roll!
What’s killing me is that I’m killing you.
I’ll leave if you shove.
But I’ve one thing left to say—
Lift up your arms discouraged one…
