Reclamation

How am I supposed to make this stop
It's gone on for far too long
And I'm tired of this facade
It's gone on for too f long
I was told it would get better
It never did, now I'm feeling tethered
Both bound and claustrophobic
Is there no end to this?

Wasted and lost in this town
Feeling like I let everyone around me down
Guilt meets anxiety
Desolate and empty
Inside, there's only decay
There's no way to fix me
There's no f way
No way to fix me

Just crucify me
My will be done
Not the will of the world
When there's so much poison in your veins

When there's so much hatred in your veins
There's nothing left to do

Don't you think I deserve
More than what I've been given
I'm so tired and weak
This is my defeat
My knees, bloody from praying
A hope slowly decaying
I'm pleading for reclamation
But I see no salvation

And through it all
I have to catch myself when I fall
Scream out for help
But there's no one to answer
I know that I will survive this time of mine
I'll be responsible for my own shelter

I've fought to breath and to keep myself afloat
But how can I with this anchor around my throat?

There's more than just a single moment of misery to this life that will drag you into the dark
But I swear you just have to stay strong
Please hold on and don't give up
Trust to hope and trust your heart cuz there's a light at the end of this dark vacant tunnel
God knows I've been there
I know despair and I know what it's like to feel so overwhelmed and worthless
But please don't let go
You don't have to do this
I promise you that there's so much more than this

I don't know who hurt you
And I don't know who left you
But I've been hurt too
And there's so many more out there who struggle like us
But know the sadness makes the light
And that makes the happiness count even more
So don't ever take it for granted and don't take yourself for granted
There is hope for us
You just have to hold on
I'm screaming with you now
Stay strong with me

(Stay strong with me)

So when you
Look back on your life
Think of the stillness
And of the strife
Just know that
You are who you are today
Through this struggle
And know that you'll be okay
