lyrics

When words fail me, these lines will let you know that I am nothing more than a seed that cannot grow. I lay dormant in this bed of dirt I made, I wait for the sun to nourish me, but all I know is rain.

It’s getting to be a task to stay alive, I’ve replenished my supply, but I know someday I’ll die.

The question lingers: will anyone miss me? Have I made a lasting impact or have I been wasting all your time? All your patience? It’s only in my head, that’s what they said. They still left me for dead. They left me out to rot. I believe it’s all a dream, at least that’s what I thought. I refuse to go this way, I refuse to die alone, I know it’s only wishful thinking, I will not change my tone.

So let me make it clear: I don’t need help. I’ve settled with myself that I am going to hell. If you truly cared, you should have cared before when I wasn’t on the edge, this close to death’s door. All I can say is I’m sorry. I wish things didn’t have to end this way.
