Killing Me Slowly
Killing Me Slowly,
With every breath I take
Aching, longing, empty
My soul begins to break
The weight upon my shoulders
Feels like a heavy stone
I try to bear the burden
But feel so all alone
Each day a struggle
A constant uphill climb
The darkness consuming
Leaving no room for sunshine
I try to put on a brave face
And hide the pain inside
But it slowly eats away
All the parts that make me alive
It's like a poison
Running through my veins
Taking over my body
And driving me insane
I once was full of life
With dreams and hopes in tow
But now I'm just a shell
Slowly losing my glow
I try to fight it
But it's a war I cannot win
For it's my own mind
That's slowly doing me in
The sadness, the emptiness
It's all too much to bear
My heart is slowly dying
And I'm left with despair
Killing Me Slowly,
With every passing day
I pray for some relief
To take the pain away
But until then I'll keep fighting
With every ounce of strength I hold
Hoping one day I'll break free
And find my way back to the fold.
