In My Sanctuary

It's in my sanctuary where I write
Deep inside the walls of my mind
It's the only place I can find that's still filled with light
Not clouded by dark thoughts, nah, I'm leaving those behind

It's in my sanctuary where I can think in peace
Where I can blow off steam and just release 
It's where my suffering ends and I start to feel good again
In my sanctuary is the one place I no longer feel the pain

It's in my sanctuary where I avoid the human race
And I can move at a more comfortable pace
It's where I can relax and just not care
It's a place where entering should be a dare

It's in my sanctuary where I like to spend my time 
'Cause in there nothing costs even a dime
It's all in my head
But hey, at least I'm not dead

Life

Sometimes I wonder about my life 
And  how easy it would be to end it
With a gun or a knife
With this knife in my hand I'll just sit

I could have killed myself   
With the knife in my hand
But today I'll leave it on my shelf
And not kill myself as I planned

As I do not see it fit
Life just might be worth it 
For there is one and one is many
As we stand here together still yet steady

Dark Days

I sit here alone on the darkest of days
Trying to find you through the mist and haze 
While trying to find myself but cant seem to do it
But you are here helping me through it

You helped me put down the knife 
Thus ending a seemingly endless strife 
I think about how much you care 
And break your heart i wouldn't dare

I wonder how long this will go on
Because in this world I'm merely a pawn 
A pawn to this game of chess 
And life's meaning becomes less and less

My Day

I've waited for my day
But I'm afraid it's not coming 
With my life I think I'll pay 
Because its not working the happy tune im humming

But hopefully there is one
One who will not let me be done
Done with my life
Someone who will make me put down the knife

A knife that I've held for so long
A person that is close to me
Someone who won't let me begone 
And someone who won't let me be

Survive

I sit here waiting 
Waiting for one more day
because my life is fading
But i feel just okay

But I'm not okay 
I'm not at my best 
Today is not my day
but life still puts me to the test

The test to survive something 
To survive the day
But life doesn't give you any thing 
And its harder to survive today.

Someone

I'll leave the knife on the shelf 
For just one more day
So i wont kill myself
Cause it's only myself I'd betray

I'll sit in the shadows 
Dreaming of open meadows
Where I can cut myself freely 
And do it ever so joyfully

I still wait for someone to care 
Someone who my pain they can bare 
Somebody to take this knife
And someone to end this endless stife
