Everyday a memory drifts away
Once a beautiful dream in a sea of agony
Every moment a struggle, know I can't stay
Love helps me battle the pain, my enemy

I stare at computer screen, mind broken
Lost for a job once filled with hopes and dreams
Now sits a vacant wheel, no one has spoken
About the hidden battlefields within

We scratch the surface day to day
But have we ever really looked in
This constant up down I don't want to play
Another crumpled paper in the tin

Waste away, with the others who once tried
To burn brighter than the rest only to finally die
Worked to hard, finally bled dry
No one will even look them in the eye

I'm okay, yea that's a lie
Only because I still want to try
Even when I'm stressed to the point I cry
Constantly asking myself why

It's okay to let go of a dream finally realized
I met it a long time ago
I think this year is the start of my goodbye
To release the shackles and finally let go

Of something that was once good
Now it has become so so cold

Anger at myself for struggling
When all around no one is offering
To guide to heal
Only my family
Their love always real
I will cling to them
Just watch me drift to freedom
Finally.
