Falling Short

Can you feel the drive
Can you feel the push
Does the blood start to boil
Subconscious making a fist
Every face a target
Every life a prize
Just the thought of pain
Keeps your anger alive
I can feel my heart breaking in pieces
Nothing but sorrow haunting inside
Loneliness killing me ever so slowly
Blade to my throat and prepare to die
Is it worth my life
Is it worth you life
Is it worth wasting the time
Can it be all so thought overtaking
Can we just let it slip by
Hands are shaking mouth is dry and
My heart breaking watching you die
Spinning backwards falling short of
Pitching in so save your life
Bare to taste it - bare to feel it - bare to live
Grit you teeth - grit your clench - grit and bare
Feel the glory - feel the pain - feel the fade
Crawl to safety - crawl on you knees - fall to
your death
I have felt my heart crumble to pieces
Finally sorrow ventures outside
Loneliness walking away from it's kill
Blade in my throat I'm left to die
It's taken my life, it'll take your life
Taking it's sweet, sweet time
It's takin' over, over and over
Stealing and wasting our time
