Desperate to Survive

I am shadowed by what seems to be the end

Aware my hopes will only pretend

To silence the voices I hear calling me

And forcing me to face the truths to be

I refuse to accept my fate and not believe

There's no escape - I'm desperate to survive

For I'm alone and a captive of my past

Solitude my penance is cast

For vicious memories, taunt my piece of mind

I feel helpless and despair, a victim of time

I just have to stay alive - there's nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide - I'm desperate to survive

Will time stand still for me - I'm desperate to survive

I can't take this torment

I can't take the thought I have to stay

Forever inside my terror

There lives all the sins I must repay

I'm trapped by suffering, so tragic

I can't take this pain

So lost in my sorrow, so endless

It's too hard to maintain

I'm desperate to survive - will time

Stand still for me - I'm desperate to survive
