Help

The weight of the world rests on my shoulders

Calm, i sit assured

What they don’t know can’t hurt them

Pacing heart, racing feet, running away

I can’t hide

What they don’t know can’t hurt them

I’m trying to find you but i can’t find

The voice that’s humming far away

I can’t fix what i can’t see

There’s a demon sleeping in the depths of hell

My hell, the deep recess lodged in my mind

I can’t fix what i can’t see

My eyes flutter and i feel weak

My heart is heavy

Can you help?

A soldier i am not

I am tired and awake

Can you help?

I knock on heaven’s door

But they give no passage to the broken

They take but they never give

Demon, steal my heart away

So maybe the hurt will hurt no longer

They take but they never give

Morning salt stings my tongue

Straight as the arrow tip of my pen

Breathe it in, the break of day

The air cuts my nose

Something’s lodged itself way deep down

Breathe it in, the break of day

Deeper and deeper, the pit of doom

I swallow and the stone settles

I choke.
