The poison of this world seeps in
Comforted by my love of sadness
The veil breaks, small glimpses of truth unravel
Only to crumple and burn once again
Truth hidden from sight
Truth hidden from mind
But my heart is still defiant
My heart is still defiant
Hanging on by a thread
I clench hope as tight as I can
As time marches on
Memories become relics
Anchors impossible to shed
Meaning slowly erodes away
As my eyes become stained with the past I must find strength
I must find a way to
Give myself reason to live
Not an excuse to die
