He won(my fight)His battle.

striking a used match

upon that grey line
of remember and forget 
swinging in and out of time
pouring gasoline on cold ash
a hope for familiar feeling
nothing but smothered dust
that is now sticking to the ceiling
 
and I fought so hard
to get myself this far
but oh can't I see?
it never really was me
He did it all.
 
enemy of the past 
the evil eye of life
giving thought and itching scars
handing me a knife
shiny as it may be
my hand stands still with might
to open wounds that have already healed
would start another fight
 
and I fought so hard
to get myself this far
but oh can't I see?
it never really was me
He did it all.
 
deep hidden places never move
the monsters on the prowl 
but rest assured the work is done
to forever keep them out
to stop them from stealing what's most precious 
my life is shouting loud
He won the fight
He crushed the head
He brought to life
what was dead
 
and I fought so hard
to get myself this far
but oh can't I see?
it never really was me
He did it all.
Oh now I see
He did it all.
