Icon For Hire

I don't know how I got here, but I refuse to stay
I betrayed myself when I let others have their way
But I am holding on, my finger on the pulse
The sound of my heart pounding tells me there's still hope
But people don't like when you put up a fight
And slowly, ever so slowly, I am losing mine
I'll fight! (Fight!) Fight! (Fight!)
Fight or be taken out alive
(Fight!) Fight! (Fight!)
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Standing on the edge, am I better off dead?
How could I forget that I'm better than this?
I've come too far to fade tonight
Fight or be taken out alive
My thoughts are racing faster than my body can react
The danger doesn't register, the fear feels like an act
Don't pull the plug, I swear this isn't how I want to go
The sound of my heart pounding tells me there's still hope
