Fragments of brokenness
Flow in my bloodstream
Forever in my dna
I want to be set free

Childhood memories
Burned in my brain
My world is hell
No escaping the flames

Alive, but dying
In a cloud of darkness
Gasping for air
Suffocated by sadness

Dripping tears of my past
In waterfalls of quicksand
My mind dissipates
Heart & soul collapsed

Lingering worries
I need to let go of
Face my fears scared
That's how you grow up

I feel so alone
My vision is blurry
I am a mess
Trying to regain my sanity

In this time of desperation
I want to hit reset
Escape to a new place
Begin a blank page

Live in the present
For we only have now
I'm praying for a miracle
Maybe things will work out

If tomorrow comes
I will have survived
Live another day
Saying devil, nice try

Say what you feel
Before it's too late
The end could be near
Make your life count now

Happy to be alive
With people I love
Their presence imprinted
Until the end of time

When I have to let go
My eyes will burn
I can't say goodbye
We just said hello
