On the Ropes

You, are you listening?
 Can you hear me now?
 I am hoping that this letter finds it's way!
 Like the spark of joy crushed by heels of the jackboots marching
 Tell me lies, tell me truth, tell me all your secrets
 incriminate yourself
 Who am I to complain, who are you who brings the rain?
 Tell me lies, tell me truth, tell me there's a reason for this
 I'm on the ropes every day what's the meaning
 Tell me what's the meaning
 Run out of hope out of faith to believe in
 Something to believe in
 And I shoulder the weight like a beast of burden
 I'll never be your beast of burden
 I lie awake every night curse the sky above
 If this is war, tell me what I'm fighting for?
 Tell me what I'm fighting for?
 You, are you watching me?
 Because I hope you see
 What's become of your creations ugly face!
 Is it never ending!
 I'm on the ropes every day what's the meaning
 Tell me what's the meaning
 Run out of hope out of faith to believe in
 Something to believe in
 And I shoulder the weight like a beast of burden
 I'll never be your beast of burden
 I lie awake every night curse the sky above
 If this is war, tell me what I'm fighting for?
 Tell me what I'm fighting for?
