Helpless - Darker Half

I see the faces

Staring up imploring to me

I feel their anger

As they pull me back down to my knees

I want to save you

But you won’t even let me try

I feel your apathy

But why the fuck won’t you let me try

No one to hold you

Nobody there to stop the fight

You’re wasting away before my eyes

And there’s nothing I can do

I feel the frustration

I get close and you move further away

I talk and you hear me

But you don’t hear a word that I say

I want to keep going

But I’m so close to giving up

Transformed by your weakness

Into something that I’m not

Standing at the edge

Right there on the brink

So close to falling down

Down into the drink

Open up my eyes

Smoke clouds what I’ll see

Is there something down there?

Is that something me?

See my fear

Drawing near

Trying every day

Trying to break loose

Things just stay the same

Closer to the noose

Always crawling back

Habits hard to break

So lost can’t find my track

Bright eyes fade away

See my fear

Drawing near
