May I ask you a question about your life Are you able to ration out your strife How do you stop feeling the time Do you freeze your clock And pretend to mime out the words From your fractured soul Wondering if you can ever let go of the past How do you categorize the bitterness of your pain from greatest to least Or do you let the rain wash away The thoughts of yesterday Flooding your dreams wiith inescapable thoughts Running from today and the bullets shot Piercing your skin with rumors of tomorrow Warning you of the misery to follow Trying to collapse your trust How can you trust when it has been broken so many times How do you get back up after being pushed down How do you pick yourself back up off the ground How do you go on even when you have nothing left
