Hanging On (song - 2013)

This song is VERY personal. It contains everything I've been feeling lately into one song so before you all comment...YES I know it is all over the place. YES I know there really is no common theme.

Hanging On

Gone with wind I’m drowning in a river

Caught in between the lies of a sinner

Kept inside all the years gone by

I’m Trapped in a maze to my own demise

I’m Lying to you and I’m lying to me

I’m Running from the past that’s not chasing me

I’m up late at night just trying not to cry

Got voices in my head, am I hearing them right?

(instrumental)

Lost in the echoes of my screams that

Don’t exist cause I won’t set it free

Got time on my mind cause it moves too fast

Like I’m stuck in between the grains of an hourglass

*chorus*

And I don’t know where

I belong yet

And I don’t know when

I’ll figure it out

But I’m hanging on

To everything I’ve got

Cause it’s all I have

That’s keepin me up

And I swear I never meant to hurt anyone

I wanna make amends

I lost myself to a cold cruel world

That loves to see lives end

But I’m hanging on

I’m hangin on

*end chorus*

I stand in the mirror, hours at a time

Just tryin to understand why I lost my mind

My life isn’t perfect but it’s not bad

I’m conscious enough to know what I have

They say the more you smile the happier you’ll be

But when that smile is fake what the hell do you believe

When lies get told and promises break

It takes everything I have just to look the other way

(instrumental)

Standin on the edge I’m holdin my breath

Theres a feeling in the air as I take another step

Its eerie and its quiet, no one is around

And the rain is pouring down

*chorus*

And I don’t know where

I belong yet

And I don’t know when

I’ll figure it out

But I’m hanging on

To everything I’ve got

Cause it’s all I have

That’s keepin me up

And I swear I never meant to hurt anyone

I wanna make amends

I lost myself to a cold cruel world

That loves to see lives end

But I’m hanging on

*end chorus*

I’m hangin on to the rope that’s kept me up

I’m hangin on to the life that made me

And all this time, my body’s shaking

I’m hangin on to what’s left of me.

"They say the more you smile the happier you’ll be
