Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real
[Verse 2]
Kicking at a dead horse pleases you
No way of showing your gratitude
So many things you don't want to do
What is it? What have you got to lose?
[Verse 3]
What the hell?
What is it you think you're gonna find?
Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind
[Verse 4]
Struggle within
It suits you fine
Struggle within
Your ruin
Struggle within
You seal your own coffin
Struggle within
The struggling within
[Verse 5]
Home is not a home, it becomes a hell
Turning it into your prison cell
Advantages are taken, not handed out
While you struggle inside your hell
[Verse 6]
Reaching out
Grabbing for something you've got to feel
Closing in
The pressure upon you is so unreal
[Verse 7]
Struggle within
It suits you fine
Struggle within
Your ruin
Struggle within
You seal your own coffin
Struggle within
The struggling within
[Verse 8]
Struggle
[Verse 9]
Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real
What the hell?
What is it you think you're gonna find?
Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind
[Verse 10]
Struggle within
It suits you fine
Struggle within
Your ruin
Struggle within
You seal your own coffin
Struggle within
The struggling within
Written by: James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich
