Failed To Fail To Live

I almost died last night Just so I could live I've lost myself so much along the way I can't find anything left to give  When I awoke to a new day's light I cried because I was still here I've even failed to fail to live and Living's by far my biggest fear My frantic, honest cry for help Unintentionally manipulative to you Weighed you down with the unfair burden Of a weight you could not have moved I'm sorry, sorry, pathetically sorry I'm so self-centered and insane I expected you to love and walk and guide me It's just so lonely walking in my internal rain
