Praying

I'm holding on tightly
To these broken vows 
Holding on closely
To these unfaithful souls
I'm holding on tearfully
To these painful memories

I stood tall for you all
I vowed to never bleed in hate
Stood tall thanks to love
I vowed to never fall into darkness
I stood tall for myself 

I'm on my knees now
Praying to a god that doesn't exist
On my knees weeping
Praying for an end to come
I'm on my knees bleeding
Praying for this pain to burn away
