Hold my breath
In your hands
Held my tongue
Over and over again
Hiding Scars
Fighting back
Chemically
Fall from this balancing act
Wait for morning sun
If tomorrow comes
Counting days I’m losing all my nights
Start to feel myself fading
Choke on swallowed sleep, my swallowed pride
Saving face under masks we’re painting
Getting harder to see between these blurring lines
That I create.
I'll wait for morning sun
If tomorrow comes
Solitary nights
Rooftop city lights
Always look behind
Is the sky still navy blue?
Shadows in the back of my mind
(what do I think, what do I feel, what do I say, what do I do?)
I’m keeping time to timeless ends
Keep on moving, keep on going
Do it over and over and over and over
Hell-bent hearts find a way
to keep composure day to day
My choice is made
I’ll stay.
