I strain myself to read the words
But there's a voice in my head screaming out
And I'm trying to ignore it's panicked cries
But I'm stuck and there's no way out
And the world fades to black as the details fade away
And I'm lost in my own darkened mind
I look around for a hand to help lift me up
I should have known that you'd never be so kind
The pain in my stomach is too strong to ignore
And the pressure in my head won't subside
I'm trying to pretend that I'm brave enough to go
But the stress and hurt are too much to hide
And from somewhere in the dark comes a single, saddened word
A fragile, overdue little "please"
So my heart begins to break because there's no turning back
I slowly sigh, and I fall down to my knees
I count down the days I have left to decide
And I struggle with my conflicted thoughts
There's a thobbing in my head and there's tears in my eyes
And between to extremes I am caught
