"On The Ropes" lyrics

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?
