Sustain

I've been close to letting go
And saying fuck it, I'm done
My mind, unkind, no longer home
And I don't know where to run
I am crying out for help
Cause I no longer know myself
And it's terrifying
Don't have energy to rise
I wanna sleep, I close my eyes

And I
I can feel my body getting tired
So I will rest but when I wake
I'll start every day by rekindling my fire
The flame can drift but I refuse to let it die
I have so much to give and it requires my light
Though my world feels dark, I take one step at a time
I let myself go and so I can find
Inner peace
It's the means to sustain
Inner peace
It's the means to sustain

Things are slow, but there's a glow I haven't seen in years
I say my prayers, set my intentions, hold my loved ones near
And it's days when I still can't get out of bed
And it's terrifying
When the voices in my head start to scream
I swear it's paralyzing

And I
I can feel my body getting tired
So I will rest but when I wake
I'll start every day by rekindling my fire
The flame can drift but I refuse to let it die
I have so much to give and it requires my light
Though my world feels dark, I take one step at a time
I let myself go and so I can find
Inner peace
It's the means to sustain
Inner peace
It's the means to sustain

Where would I be if my fire went out
And who would I leave behind
What can I do to know why I am here
And, God, how do I stay alive

They said inner peace
It's the means to sustain
You don't have to search for it
Because it's innate
