There's gotta be a way out
From these chains holding me

My heart is breaking apart
Spinning around in this illusion

Or am I disillusioned

My mind is breaking down further

I walk through these shards of glass
Just to be with you

Desperate for some kind of revelation
Holding on to desire

You are the only hope I can see
Dying to believe

It's part of me
You are the light to me
Faith in the one you love, no matter how crazy you sound.
Jess Sep 2014
You lack emotion in your eyes
I can see all the fears you face
All the tears you've cried
I see it in your eyes
You hide the pain
I'll never let you deal with it alone
I'll be right here
If you'll let me
I'll sit outside the door when you cannot bare to talk
I'll be right here
Picking up the broken pieces
No matter how many times it takes
I'll fix you
I'll love you
If you let me
And even then I will still try
I'll be right here
To show you the love you lost
When everything seems to fall away
And hope begins to fray
Don't believe all the lies
Meant to bring you down
I will always be right here
I'll show you the way out
When the way seems so far
Let me love you when you break
Just take my hand

There is something deep inside
Burning like flames within

Witness to all the suffering
This world is an empty promise

Build me up
Watch me crumble

Keeping this saint-like mind
Is hard when I know
I'm dying inside

Suffering for myself
And for others
I find myself lost
Wanting to shoulder all the pain

Do I give in
Or keep on going

You say I'm too good for the world
But baby, I say I'm stripped away
Everything has been betrayed

This will be the end of me

I'm far too young to fade

I want to give in
To the pain
The rage

Everything is black and white
Stripped away of the grey

Breaking apart
This will be the end of me

Swaying atop an unstable cliff
Unsure yet still standing strong
You saved me once again
As always
You save me
But it is also you
Who pushes me off
The treacherous cliff
Falling
Falling hard
Into the chasm
Almost reaching
The unforgiving frigid water
And then
I am once again
Saved
By you
Reaching your hand out
Comforting and rewarding
But only to repeat
This seemingly endless cycle
Shortly after
Over and over
Somehow
I am willing
To endure this pain
And heartache
For those little moments
And I will wait
To the end of the world
And beyond
Just for another one
I am willing to suffer
Even if it is hopeless

A dim flickering light
Blinks it's last goodbye
Not going out with a flash
But instead slowly fading away

Just like my passion
For everything I once enjoyed
And endless dark
Covering my only love

The art has disappeared
And my heart has gone
No passion flows
No interest grows

A sickening depression
Takes away the passion
Fading like a light
I fear
That it is gone
Forever

There is a strange beauty in darkness
But it seems to devour you
For it too wants to reach
Out to the light
Perhaps it has forgotten how to
Jess Oct 2013
A face washed with sorrow
Looking down
As if tomorrow
Should never come
She is
Always tired
Always sad
Always crying
Always mad
Water dripping down
A small little frame
She is lost in this world
