Trying To Hold On
I HAVE ALOT ON MY MIND BUT NOTHING TO WRITE
I HAVE BATTLES TO WIN AND DEMONS TO FIGHT
PAPER AND PEN AND THOUGHTS SPINNING FAST
WINDOWS INTO THE FUTURE , MIRRORS INTO THE PAST
MY LIFE STOPPED, BUT MY HEART KEPT BEATING
MY SPIRIT WAS DYING BUT I KEPT ON BREATHING
THUNDER KEPT ON RUMBLING THROUGHOUT MY MIND
LIGHTNING STRUCK AND IT LEFT ME BLIND
TIRED OF CRAWLING BUT TOO WEAK TO STAND
WHENEVER I DO, I FALL INTO QUICK SAND
I FEEL LIKE I'M DROWNING AND THERE'S NO WAY OUT
SURELY THIS IS NOT WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT
I HAVE ALOT ON MY MIND BUT NOTHING TO WRITE
I HAVE FOUGHT ALL THAT I'M GOING TO FIGHT
MIRRORS? I'LL NEVER NEED THEM AGAIN
OPEN ALL OF THE WINDOWS AND LET ME IN!
I TURN MY BACK ON THE COLD, DARK NIGHT
I WALK FORWARD INTO THE WARM, BRIGHT LIGHT
IT DOESN'T BLIND ME, IT ONLY SETS ME FREE
SO I'LL HOLD ON TO THIS LIGHT
AND FOREVER KEEP IT WITH ME...©
