Fighting With Myself - Daniel Johnston

I was shadow boxing

And my shadow punched back

Can you imagine my surprise?

Then I got to thinking

If there’s something I don’t know

Something inside of me

That I’m trying to hide

Fighting with myself

I may never win

But I’ll never stop

When did I begin?

'Til I can rest peacefully

I don’t feel bitter

And I wasn’t there

And I wondered where I could be now

So I sat in a chair and tried to relax

But I don’t really know how

Fighting with myself

I may never win

But I’ll never stop

When did I begin?

'Til I can rest peacefully

Fighting with myslf

I may never win

But I’ll nevr stop

When did I begin?

'Til I can rest peacefully

Sometimes I feel like I could get along

But it always ends in tears

Sometimes I feel like I could be happy

But I always find something to fear
