Trying to hold it together
Watching it all fall apart
The ties I’ve made are severed
It ended before it could start
The roar of the wind as I fall
Can’t drown the screams in my mind
The tragedy is my life’s a disaster
The comedy is I’m alive

I try a little more each day
As my world of pain keeps turning
I force on every smile I fake
While underneath I’m learning
I’ve taken all that I can take
There’s not much left to give
Trying not to lose my mind
I lose my will to live

Memories of better times
Are poisoning my heart
Knowing what my life once was
Is tearing me apart
This is not the end I’ve chosen
The end has chosen me
I don’t need to take my life
My life is taking me

I fail a little more each day
My world of pain keeps turning
I choke on every breath I take
‘Cause inside I am burning
I’ve taken more than I can take
With nothing left to give
I’ve lost myself inside my mind
I’ve lost my will to live

You can say it gets better
But you don’t see at all
Some crawl up from darkness
Some were born to fall
Some are happy ever after
Some try endlessly
Some can drown their sorrows
But my sorrow’s drowning me

And I die a little more each day
But my world of pain keeps turning
A living nightmare, wide awake
Forever reoccurring
I’ve suffered more than I can fake
There’s nothing left to give
I’ve lost my mind
I’ve lost myself
I’ve lost my will to live

Lost my mind

Lost my will

Lost myself
A song I wrote back in my darker days.
