Every Second

I’m broken, I’m hoping

For a reason to keep on going

Doors open and closing

Everything seems like slow motion

I’ve chosen this moment

To stop my self-erosion

I’m focused on owning

Myself, my own opponent

But in this moment that is falling apart

I keep thinking

Is the path I chose where I should start?

I keep sinking

I’m dying every second I’m alive

Every second I’m alive

I’m trying to feed the fire that inside me

The fire that’s inside

I’m dying every second I’m alive

This life’s reflection in my eye

It reminds me the scars made me stronger

I won’t go quietly

Won’t let the past unwind me

I don’t know whom I see

Worth trying to put behind me

But in this moment that is falling apart

I keep thinking

Is the path I chose where I should start?

I keep sinking

I’m dying every second I’m alive

Every second I’m alive

I’m trying to feed the fire that inside me

The fire that’s inside

I’m dying every second I’m alive

This life’s reflection in my eye

It reminds me the scars made me stronger

Every second I’m alive

I’m getting closer to my grave

I try my best to just survive

Feels like I’m broken every day

I’m hoping that I’ll make it

I’m hoping but I’m flakey

I’m cold inside this basement

Time to try and fight the shaky

I’m shaking and I’m waiting

Still debating on which way to go

Swaying and I’m fading

No escaping, still afraid to know

Inside my thoughts are erasing

So I’m bracing for a weighted stone

The world is so much colder

So I may just have to change alone

I’m dying every second I’m alive

Every second I’m alive

I’m trying to feed the fire that inside me

The fire that’s inside

I’m dying every second I’m alive

This life’s reflection in my eye

It reminds me the scars made me stronger
