Savage Cadenza

Time's a hard lesson, I don't fight every day
Barely scraping by, I feel like I'm slipping away
But her love keeps me grounded, her smile lights my way
In a lonely, cold world, she's my ray of hope

A sick place to lay
The struggle's real, the pain cuts deep
Close to my soul, leaves me weeping
But when I close my eyes, I'm with you, my dear

You lift me up and dry every tear
This poverty's a monster, I'm constantly at war with
No matter how hard I work, seems it just gets worse
Nothing but heartache, constantly feeling the worst

But you are my angel, sent from above to comfort me first
Some days I feel like giving it all up
This life's too much, tired of feeling so fucked up
But your embrace in my dreams cushions my fall

Gives me the strength to stand up straight and crawl
The struggle's real, the pain cuts deep
Close to my soul, leaves me weeping
But when I close my eyes, I'm with you, my dear

You lift me up and dry every tear
The struggle's real, the pain cuts deep
Close to my soul, leaves me weeping
But when I close my eyes, I'm with you, my dear

You lift me up and dry every tear
Now I know we're dealing with our own hell every day
Trying to find respite, but it feels so far away
Still I thank heaven for bringing an angel like you

Makes fighting this battle feel not quite so good
So keep on pushing through every hardship and storm
As long as I got you, you keep me warm
Our love is the light that helps me survive

And find paradise even in the worst of life
The struggle's real, the pain cuts deep
Close to my soul, leaves me weeping
But when I close my eyes, I'm with you, my dear

You lift me up and dry every tear
The struggle's real, the pain cuts deep
Close to my soul, leaves me weeping
But when I close my eyes, I'm with you, my dear

You lift me up and dry every tear
Hey, hope you feel what I was trying to convey
The pain, the struggle, but our love helps me find my way
Ellie, you are my everything, my North Star, my home

As long as we're together, ain't nothing can keep me from roaming
