Fight Nor Flight

by Sally Ann

about

OCD is a b*****! Here's what I've gotta sing about it.
(*OCD- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) This song addresses Pure-O, a form of OCD where you can't see external compulsions.
It's also purely a Battle song. Take YOUR life BACK.

lyrics

Intro:
No, Oh, Oh Oh
No… No No No

Verse 1:
Fighting with my demons and the war is a maze
Deafening accolations and my world’s a haze
I know I’ve seen them here before, It’s all the same score
A ruse, That I lose
They don’t play fair at all, under their feet, I’m so small
My hands are cuffed, They laugh, Pig on the pit, I’m beat
I keep swinging, They keep prancing round’ me two moves,
A bruise, Or the noose

Pre-chorus 1:
Fallback, Fallback, Fallback
Or wound, uncrowned

Post-hook 1:
I can’t give up now
I can’t give up no
I can’t give up now
I can’t give up no
I can’t give up now
I can’t give up no
No O O Oh

Chorus 1:
Hold my head up high, I’ll take that hit now
Hold my head up high, I’m going
Down in the ground, I’m crawling deeper into fears
And then I realised, I never need to be a part of
This fight or flight
This fight
Or flight

Verse 2:
Flighting from my demons and I’m losing my pace
Tripping on shoelaces of my mind, I’m fazed
I know I’ve tried this way before, this infinite door
I turn and I burn
They ace the chasing, sucking every minute I drip
In and out of my doubt, and I’m bout’ knocked out
I keep hiding, They keep finding me and I shoot
Mistake, and I quake

Pre-chorus 2:
Come Round, Come Round, Come Round
Or drown, unsound

Post-hook 2:
I’ve got’ get up now
I’ve gotta let go
I’ve got’ get up now
I’ve gotta let go
I’ve got’ get up now
I gotta let go

Bridge:
Spoken part:
They are just obsessive thoughts in your head
Trying to make you do compulsions again
It’s not you, it’s your brain
Don’t do it, don’t do it, just don’t do it
Or you’ll find yourself insane

Let me go now
I won’t control

Chorus 3:
Monsters in my head won’t be the ones to put me to death
I’m not one to lose

Try again / Who'd you're fooling?
Try and take that hit again
Who’d you think you’re fooling
Try again / Who'd you're fooling?
Try and take that hit again
Who’d you think you’re fooling

Fin:
Fighting with my demons and I know it’s inane
I’m not abandoning just know they cannot be tamed
So what’s the use
No there’s no use
No fight nor flight
No fight nor flight

Sally Ann Paris, France

Music has always been my escapism from harsh realities. I used to battle incessantly with a series of 'colourful diagnoses'.

But now, as an emancipated artist armed with the voice I fought for, I write songs that muse on the philosophy of life and spin experiences with trials and tribulations over darkness into rhapsodic stories.

In hopes to shine a light on the shadows that try to over-tower. ... more
