Persevere

Fragmented memories pierce through my skull

Lacerating pain, the black dog has its hold

Catatonic I wait, please give me an answer

My guilt grows malignant just like a cancer

I focus the light, the lens burns my skin

Revealing the pain that i've held within

You were my best friend a brother and a son

Some days I wish it was me who died young

You are home

Lost inside my head

With the memories of the dead

I’ll move on

Lift the stone

This weight that carries on

It's you who keeps me strong

I’ll be alright

An ocean of sorrow stirs from within

Waves crash in unison under my skin

This hole in my heart, forgiveness I need

I don't deserve it no matter how much I bleed

I couldn't bring myself to help, or to speak

But I guess that I have to accept that I am weak

I want to move on, but I can't stay afloat

Its my guess your family is in the same boat

You are home

Lost inside my head

With the memories of the dead

I’ll move on

Lift the stone

This weight that carries on

It's you who keeps me strong

I’ll be alright

So many times I've asked myself, what if I could've done something different, something that would've changed the outcome, something that would've prevented your demise, something that would save all of us close to you. Is this some kind of sick game god plays, does he even give a shit about us? Are we all alone? Nevertheless what's done is done and I'll strive to be as kind as you were. There'll be setbacks, I'll make mistakes and I'll hurt people, but I will do everything in my power to be there for the ones close to me

Two steps forward

One step back

Two steps forward
