Untitled 1
Reach for the sky and pull it down
Hold heads above water trying not to drown
We want bigger, better, bolder
I feel my heart getting colder
As I grow older
My world begins to smolder
Suddenly a firey display before me
Do your best not to weep
Even when you cannot sleep
The monsters hear your cries in the night
Even if you can't wake up
You still must take up arms and prepare to fight
Battles in your mind
Battles in your life
I know how hard it is my love
But please, put down the knife
Pain won't make you heal
Although it makes you feel
Sometimes like you're whole again
Drop your weapons now
Bury them in the ground
Before they take you first
