Prompt / Lyrics
(Intro - spoken word) Man, things are tough as hell out there. It’s not safe and nothing is fair. We all have our issues, we all have struggles, we all share this with one another. (Verse 1) Packed the bags, told myself it’s the last time Threw the pills down the sink, drew a hard line Three days clean, I can feel my heart beat Looking in the mirror, standing on my own two feet But the air feels thin and the walls are closing in And a whisper says "where have you been?" It’s my old friend, I can feel you pulling me in I can’t resist the pressure that I feel within (Chorus) And I’m falling again, down the same old stairs Trading my soul for a moment that never repairs It’s a broken promise, a shattered dream Trying to swim in a frozen stream Round and round, the cycle brings me low Trying hard, but I don't know how to let go. Ohhh I can’t let go! Ohhh can’t let go (Verse 2) Can’t count the fingers on my own hand Texts from you that I don’t understand Said I’d meet you there, and I’d be okay But I’m too fucked up to even show up late I’m fighting with demons whispering lies Rewriting my brain like it’s plagiarized Filled with little white lines, all through my mind It makes me weak, my mind is diseased So please stop counting on me! (Chorus) And I’m falling again, down the same old stairs Trading my soul for a moment that never repairs It’s a broken promise, a shattered dream Trying to swim in a frozen stream Round and round, the cycle brings me low Trying hard, but I don't know how to let go. Ohhh I can’t let go! Can’t let go (Bridge) They say one day at a time, Its been an hour I can’t fight the urge and I lost my power I close my eyes, and I’m back at the start Everything inside of me is falling apart I need to breathe, I must be freed But her nails are dug in so deep (Breakdown) Ohhh And I’m falling again, down the same old stairs Trading my soul for a moment that never repairs It’s a broken promise, a shattered dream Trying to swim in a frozen stream Round and round, the cycle brings me low Trying hard, but I don't know how to let go. (Outro) Ohhh I don't know how to get through today It Feels like every time is just too late I’m not sure I have much inside that remains I’m just out here… battling the pain
