To Wilt Beneath The Weight

As I stand here all I see

Is everything I left behind me

Everything I sacrificed

So much loss for just one fragile cause

I worked so hard but it doesn't work

So much loss for just one fragile cause

A flower wilting beneath the weight of this sinking ship

It pulls me down

It pulls me down away from you

And the loneliness it makes me stupid

Completely at the mercy

Of every form of insincerity

Maintaining this illusion makes me manic and weak

So I guess all that's left is for me to grit my teeth

Grit my teeth when they've just been broken

Soldier on in the face of fear

Too much is all it takes to be here

How much will it cost to persevere?

A flower wilting beneath the weight of this sinking ship

I can't keep drowning for this
