Holding On

[Verse]
Clutchin' at the air, fingers slip on the vine,
Heart pumps slow like the drip of cheap wine.
Eyes glazed over, tears frost the glass,
Staring at a clock with sand runnin' fast.
[Chorus]
I'm tryin' to hold on, but the grip's gone weak,
Every scar on my soul got a story to speak.
Shadows in my chest keep on screamin' so loud,
Dreams fade away like the sun behind a cloud.
[Verse 2]
Seams unravel, my threadbare soul,
Every stitch undone, every patch got a hole.
Rain in my chest, thunder cracks in my brain,
Bleeding out emotions through a crimson pain.
[Chorus]
I'm tryin' to hold on, but the grip's gone weak,
Every scar on my soul got a story to speak.
Shadows in my chest keep on screamin' so loud,
Dreams fade away like the sun behind a cloud.
[Bridge]
Night’s long arms tryna pull me down low,
Reflections crack back, don’t know where to go.
Lost in a maze, no bread crumbs to find,
Walls closin' in, try to rewind my mind.
[Verse 3]
A phoenix drowns before it learns how to rise,
Hope burns out 'fore it touches the skies.
Bruises on my will, chains round my heart,
Another page torn before I finish the start.
