What do you do? When the fire fades And you’re left with ashes When the sun goes down And you're left with cold What do you do? When each day's a task That just gets harder And forgetting to live Becomes easier What do you do? When nothing goes right But everything goes wrong When you're left alone And consumed by thought What do you do? When running seems best But fear overtakes you When giving in is a choice But you're not prepared What do you do? When you want out Exhausted with life Each breath takes effort And you're losing the fight What do you do? When you cry at night Until there's nothing left Laying awake and saying a prayer That you'll never wake up What do you do? When you have a plan An escape from here But consequences That must follow What do you do? When your mind hates itself And takes it out on you What can you do...

What Do You Do
What do you do? When the fire fades And you’re left with ashes When the sun goes down And you're left with cold What do you do? When each day's a task That just gets harder And forgetting to live Becomes easier What do you do? When nothing goes right But everything goes wrong When you're left alone And consumed by thought What do you do? When running seems best But fear overtakes you When giving in is a choice But you're not prepared What do you do? When you want out Exhausted with life Each breath takes effort And you're losing the fight What do you do? When you cry at night Until there's nothing left Laying awake and saying a prayer That you'll never wake up What do you do? When you have a plan An escape from here But consequences That must follow What do you do? When your mind hates itself And takes it out on you What can you do...
