the day already seems hopeless

there are so many ways to lose

i'm sure to find one that fits

it won't be long before i'll be falling in,

again

will there ever be a time of hope

a day full of peace in my life

it's so hard to smile

while my world is collapsing,

again

each step is so painful now

every breath continues to be torture

the minutes creep slowly by

while i'm walking up to the pit, 

again 

why do i constantly do this

badgering myself into submission

finding nothing but self-blame

i'm now falling into oblivion,

again

after slamming into the bottom

there's a tiny flicker of light the top

inch by inch, foot by foot

i start the journey to the top,

again
