Onwards And Downwards

With your heart in your hand and your love on a shelf
How could you abandon the hand that feeds?
To stand by yourself, to wade through this garbage
Did we keep you alive? Was it us you need?

Feast or famine, raise your hands
Fall to your knees
Pray for mercy, pray for rain
This is a final plea

You made fools of us all and we wore the lashes
You've sewn seeds of malcontent and now we're reaping the harvest
You bled us dry when we had so little to offer
Yet still we sit there and smile oblivious to it all
I know hell is empty, hell is right here

Not a day goes by I don't hope for the best
I've spent so many sleepless nights praying for something
Praying for anything
The smallest thread to pull you through

Not one single day passes me by
These times will try our hearts, theses times will try
I know hell is empty, hell is right here
My only wish is you never forget my warm embrace
