Stop telling me to try!



I already did!



And I lost and cried



I'm sick of all my thoughts being so morbid



I'm tired of staying up and not sleeping



I'm tired of waking up to my own screaming



I'm through with going to sleep weeping



I don't want to think that I'm dreaming



When everything finally seems right



But no, it's not



I don't want to lose anymore sleep tonight



I don't want my sanity to rot!



What I need is just your shoulder



Lend me your ear for just a while longer



I want to be warm instead of colder



I'm getting weak and not any stronger



Was it my fault for surrendering?



I tried to hold on to what I had left



There wasn't much of anything



I refuse to take another step



Only because I'm enjoying my twisted world



Whatever I had left to cling onto sadly



I'm looking at myself from another eye



Because you're destroying me so sweetly



I really don't want to feel this again



And in truth I'm trying to save myself



By clinging on to what is left



It's the only thing that's keeping my sanity



You could stop it...



You know you can



Just lend me your ear and your shoulder



So I can finally save myself
