A Reason to Fight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The image in your eyes
Reflecting the pain that has taken you
I hear it in your voice, so ridden with shame
From what's ailing you

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't give up, so don't give in
You've fallen down, but you can rise again
So don't give up

[Chorus]
When the demon that's inside you is ready to begin
And it feels like it's a battle that you will never win
When you're aching for the fire and begging for your sin
When there's nothing left inside, there's still a reason to fight

[Verse 2]
Lost in your world of lies
I find it so hard to believe in you
Can it be real this time
Or just a part of this game that we're playing through?


[Pre-Chorus]
I won't give up, so don't give in
You've fallen down, but you will rise again
I won't give up
[Chorus]
When the demon that's inside you is ready to begin
And it feels like it's a battle that you will never win
When you're aching for the fire and begging for your sin
When there's nothing left inside, there's still a reason to fight

[Bridge]
Don't let it take your soul
Look at me, take control
We're going to fight this war
This is nothing worth dying for

[Interlude]
Are you ready to begin?
This is a battle that we are gonna win

[Chorus]
When you're aching for the fire and begging for your sin
When there's nothing left inside, there's still a reason
When the demon that's inside you is ready to begin
And it feels like it's a battle that you will never win
When you're aching for the fire and begging for your sin
When there's nothing left inside, there's still a reason to fight

[Outro]
I'll be your reason to fight
Give you a reason to fight

About

Genius Annotation

A Reason To Fight” was the second single released from Evolution. It peaked at position #24 on the “Hot Rock Songs” chart, and spent 16 weeks on it.
It’s a personal song about their friends falling victims to addiction.

In David’s track by track he told Loudersound:

Addiction has claimed so many of my friends and colleagues. And oftentimes bringing an end to it, via suicide or any other means, intentional or otherwise, is a way out, and they don’t have enough of an inspiration to keep fighting. So realistically, I wrote this about the same scenario I wrote about on Inside The Fire. My ex that I wrote about in the song wasn’t the only person in my life I’ve had to deal with in that situation. I’m hoping that people can hear it and realize that someone understands, and hopefully it’s a means of encouragement for them to keep fighting.
