Running in Place

Can someone
Can someone help me?

Can someone
Give me one reason to live?
When I gave
All I had to give
But this life keeps

Demanding so much more
Do I even have the strength
To scrape my heart off the floor?
I need to pull together
What's left of me

And pick my head up
So I can see
Who I Am
And who I am supposed to be
Its getting old
Asking what my purpose is
Because I really didn't ask for this
It chose me

Cover my tracks
As If I never took a single step,
Grasping the chain
That pulls me closer
To my death
Dig so deep
That the walls cave in
Rock bottom looks pleasant from here

I see what I want to see
And say what I want to say
But there's too much pressure

To change the family name
Drug addicts and alcoholics
Is from where I came
Thankful for my Mom
Who helped me not go completely insane

Am I the one who should forgive
Oh God
Can someone
Give me one reason to live

Cover my tracks
Just let them wash away
At least then you could say
I never led you astray
Two steps forward
And four steps back
Feels like I'm running in place
Live for the thrill of the chase
