While the World Passes

Back to the old ways,
I'm watching the world pass,
And I'm just falling back,
I don't have the motivation or the strength to change,
I fall back back to being alone,
It's easier to breathe,
I'll get out hit it and pass it,
But man I gotta Surpass it,
How do I move through this?
Watching this world pass,
Watching this burning grass,
And I'm just flailing to get a grip,
I need control but there is no hope, 
I need someone to help,
I'm alone,
Watching the world pass,
I've jaded myself,
I fight my fears,
Then I swallow my tears,
I won't let them see,
I'm not going to hurt again,
I'll walk on the egde but I'm not going in,
I'm not a user,
I don't just say words I mean them,
I say them with crushing blows,
Because what I say is what I feel,
Take my words to heart they will crush you,
You'll never get me to fall again,
I'll just sit back and watch the world pass.
