flesh, bone and weakness

shades drawn across

no light may enter

in my moment of weakness

and this world is bearing down again

so hard to clear my mind

why do i persist?

i'll endure another day

it's just so hard to resist

and i can't continue on

so hard to clear my mind

to see the thoughts i wish were true

my face versus the stone

and i blame myself

plague my mind with these insecure thoughts

whispers in the back of my head

telling me it's all wrong

why do i persist?

i'll endure another day

why do i persist?

as self loathing strangles me

push past the veil of helplessness

love can't catch me

not today

take your hand and just surrender?

it's just not worth it

why do i persist?

i'll endure another day

why do i persist?

self loathing strangles me

but i'll endure another day
