Holding On

Recommend

Here comes another day

Although these black clouds fade to grey

I still sit here, in a wall of silent sorrow

Wondering if I can still live for tomorrow

I never knew the world would bring me so much pain

I never knew the world could be so cruel to me

 

I tried to imagine a better life

And though she stays be my side

I know I don't have the strength to hold on

I tried to comfort myself with glowing words

But when the joy is gone, the pain is only worse

 

I carry her name in my heart but it's hopeless

Without a future, without a prospect

I'm soon to lose my home too

But if the worst should come

And she leaves me forever

I know I'd never make it through

 

A fragile balance, and these pills do nothing for me

Many of us, stuck in a cycle, only the corrupt are free

I know she's with me still, and I'm glad

I know she loves me, and how she tries

But she cannot hold back the tears I cry

 

One angry shout after the next

And my heart begins to break

Breathing in, the pain it stings

It's too much for anyone to take

 

So I stand here, the light in my eyes burnt out

The energy in my muscles collapses to nothing

Liquid fire, one part of my death

I hope to never return here 

The End
