"Fight"

I thought we would be good by now, thought we'd unclench our fists
But the rounds they just keep coming, oh, our match it still persists
Yeah we still duck + parry, still hit way below the belt
Our bodies black + blue from all the blows that we have dealt

Jabbing, blocking, groaning, it's a brutal fucking match
Little did we know how many punches we would catch
By now you'd think the towel we'd have happily thrown in
But when today is done tomorrow we'll begin again

I can fall asleep, but I'm still scared of the night
My dreams so dark + wretched, I just thrash + moan in fright
I want you to hold me, love me, make it all alright
But we stick to separate corners 'cause we're not done with our fight

We try for peace, try for a draw, but we're still stuck in the ring
When off the ropes, we lose ourselves + take another swing
I don't know what to do for us, I don't know what to say
I can't believe we sparred away another lonely day

I don't want a knockout, nor a sorry TKO
Why can't we just forfeit, simply let the rumble go
I hope we're getting somewhere, pray to God we're slowly learning
But our brawl's not done when the sun goes down so I'm back to toss + turning

Fight or flight, fight or flight, neither choice is close to right
Someday we might see the light, but not no not no not tonight
