Strike Out

It was too much, just too much
Enough is enough, you're hurting this bad
You've fought all your life, how do you know when to give up
When it wouldn't have made a difference if you did not

You're trying and you're trying, but three strikes and you're out
You thought you did your best but all there was to it was doubt
You can act all tough but it's tearing you up inside
A weak heart, a weak soul, it's as if you just died

You try to build walls no one can break down
But even you don't know how to get out
You lock yourself in, but you threw away the key
Up to what level now is your insanity

You cry and you curse, why did it have to be like this
You can be dead now but you won't even be missed
You ask yourself what worth there is to live
You held on to light, but you were only deceived

They said love was what brought along hope in the dark
But why has it brought emptiness into an already empty life
Was it your fault or did the world just want you out
You thought you were anonymous, but your silence seemed to be so loud

You knew then you were different, you had a fire within you
But you kept the flames in, not knowing what to do
And now that darkness is all that it seems
You realize that your flames keep bursting in

You were the light in the dark
You should know that well
All the pain and weakness aside
Yours is a story too great to tell
