Hanging By A Thread

When the rage takes over and its hard to remain sober

22 years old feeling like his fucking life is half over

The world around him isnt as good as the one he built inside

Hes attacked by the demons who took residence in his mind

Feels like he lost the fight in a battle thats taking forever

Holes in his sweater, clings to sarcasm as if it makes him clever

His mind is a mess, body filled with stress, hes stained with regret

Theres pain in his chest and as he feels like nothings left

He covers his misery with jokes and an attitude that provokes

But he cant always cope and the inner darkness suffocates hope

He knows where to find the light but hes too worn out too fight

Only a few times has he begged God to help him change his life

Deep down he wants to leave his sin and ditch the fucking medicine

Hes tired of losing everything, all he wants is to make a win

He wants to avoid the fake love and embrace the kind thats real

He wants to rid his mind of all the fucked up things he shouldnt feel

But he knows theres a plan and that keeps him sane enough

And after the bullshit hes seen he knows his life aint that tough

He just needs help to get up and start putting in the work

And get familiar with happiness so he loses comfort in the hurt

So step in God, and you can give this crazy kid a break

Theres only so much more he can take, dont let him drown in his hate

Help him to use his logic to overcome all his stupid emotions

Help him leave his poisons and start finding some good doors to open

Ease his stress a bit, give him some strength to help him rise above it

Give him a hand and help him better understand the shit hes dealing with
