Dwindling At 10
Have you ever acted...
Out of anger
Out of love
Unprepared for the danger
Or the outcome from above

Do you ever wish...
You could changed a moment in time
How to save a friend
Or changing how you spent the time...
Or would you let it be
To let them go just like a dream
A selfish act on either side
No matter how it seems

Have you ever judged...
Wishing them unwell
Seeing all their stress
Yet kept ringing all the bells...
Did you know all the facts
Heard lies believing true
For it was too late
Apologies are past due

Have you ever been...
In such a dark place
Where you haven't seen the sun
And the darkness feels safe...
Where you lured in
Where you betrayed
A false sense of security is the best kind of bait

We've been through a lot
Each in our own
Some of us gave up
Some of us haven't found home
Each day is a fight
Sharpening our swords throughout the night
A neverending battle
Are we on the same side
Would you give up your life for a stranger somewhere...
Or would you prefer some stranger to help you in the middle of nowhere...

We all have a due date
A time we must leave
I hope that your journey
Was more to you than to me
