Falling into the shadows
Let our pieces turn to dust
We let our dreams take us over
Our bodies start to rust
This life we made has built the base
The one we attempt to walk across
But stumbling along the bumpy road
Our guided feet become lost
Letting darkness consume our souls
Poisonous air creeping into each lung
We cave in, drop to our knees
We still feel like we’re hung
Our breaths grow short
As time grows long
It’s times like these
We sing our song
So hold on tight
Let dreams run thin
We’ll find the answers
They’re hidden within
Listen to the silence whisper
It’s calling your name so loud
These thoughts, they ache within your ears
But stand up tall and look so proud
You may fall down
You may fail at your mission
But these bumps and bruises
Won’t make an incision
It’s this life you created
The one you failed to mention
This life is what will kill you
That’s what built your tension
Author notes
Hmm, I don't know.
Think what you may
these words fall to paper
and vanish from my thought
come back up later on this screen
and the anguish has been fought
it's times like these we think we're made
but that's when it attacks us hard
we fall down and get back up
in our skin is glass, just a shard
