Iron Bar
I feel the heat, the melting of my flesh
And here I am, in the furnace burning my fears
For what life is worth, I am still alive, I am still here
I am happy now, escaping my shadows
Realizing the its over, that I am done drinking my sorrows
And from here life is a simple clue
One leap of faith and one step away from the queue
It’s the iron bar, the integrity of my soul
The need to fight the fight that I have to simply swallow
