Struggle

The pain no longer owns me
As I walk away this time
It is destined that somehow I do see
That this will not be fine

I fight for everything
And I feel as though I've died
Even though I play and sing
It's as if my body lies

I struggle almost constantly
With the things that are in me
And as I die I sing a song
Of a time when things weren't so wrong

The pace of my heart quickens
As I sink into the time sands
Missing your gentle touch
And your saving hands

The life in my eyes dull
And my razor seems to fade
Suddenly I feel you pull
But my life cannot be made

I struggle almost constantly
With the things that are in me
And as I die I sing a song
Of a time when things weren't so wrong

In this darkness I am standing
Looking toward the light
I know that I am finding
For Me and you what now is right
