But you have no strength
it all starts to wear you down
causing you to overthink
you know it’s gonna leave a scar
but that’s the pain you need
from the wounds that are profuse
once the gashes start to bleed
when the boat is sinking
there aren't enough life vests
do you save yourself?
or try to save the rest?
you try to fight the demons
but you have no cape
or super hero powers
to get out of this scrape
when you want to give in
cause it’s the easy thing to do
people always wantin more
than there is to give of you
when you have a lot of doubts
and you can’t think straight
mind like a labyrinth
or a dense, foggy haze
then look to the heavens
and say a little prayer
look for the answers
you will find them there
