lyrics

staring at an unfamiliar ceiling
numb now with no feeling
my will to live is shrinking
am I weak for even thinking?
that it might be my time
no sound, no touch, no mind
spiraling down further inside
there’s nothing good i will find

I lack strength to carry on
only the selfish path shown

trust, the first step to betrayal
love, leads to hate and will fail
they asked, "what lead you here?"
distrust I just want to disappear
just want to make it end
pray these pills start to mend
pressure building every day
this is my only escape
my one escape

I lack strength to carry on
only the selfish path shown

staring at an unfamiliar ceiling
sedated I’ve lost all feeling
sinking further into this hell
days feel like months and this is like a cell
wish I could go back and finish the job
the fight to survive has gone on too long
but then she came in with tears in her eyes
knowing her son tried to take his own life
... so now I fight

I’m still here despite
because darkest shadows
are cast by the brightest lights
so now I choose to fight

I remind myself there’s still a reason to live
and when you feeling weak I hope you find solace in this
