Abandoned

Carry this around
Can't escape anxiety
Hopelessness surrounds
Can't release it's hold on me

Wandering abandonded, to shadows I keep
Bound to the alleys and empty streets
Weak to move on as I keep on looking back

Betrayed by myself
Give me a reason to live
Or a second chance to be desired

Always on the run
I can feel their eyes on me
Can't trust anyone
And why should they have trust in me

God, what have I done?
This wasn't how it's supposed to be
I didn't have a choice
Augmented life was forced on me

Falling apart, I just want to be numb
Strung out on meds, what have I become?
Give me a reason to keep on looking back

Betrayed by myself
Give me a reason to live
Or a second chance to be desired

My love, my love

I witness the beatings
The hate without meaning
I'm losing the strength to fight

I'm fighting the pain
As I cover my shame
And I'm losing the strength to go on

As I reach for the sky
And beg for an answer
I scream to the night
It echoes in silence
It withers in the cold
It suffocates the soul
And reminds me of the truth
That we're all alone

Betrayed by myself
Give me a reason to live
Or a second chance to be desired

My love (give me a reason to live)
My love
