Alone

Bless the gods they said
But I won't 
So I just lie in my bed
I'm cold and alone
And I let it show
What have the gods done for me
So just let me be
I'm broken
I'm beaten
Hearts barely beating
Lungs barely breathing
I look into the night
Goodbye, I said
I thought I was dead
And I'd follow the light
Everywhere I look it's just the night
Where is my light
I'm done
I can't fight
Pick me up
But I can't stand
Cause I've lost the light
Hope and wisdom are gone
Where did I go wrong
I used to live
I used to breath
I used to look forward
But everything I see is bleak
Everything I see is grey
Clouds are forming
Here comes the rain
Just reminds me that I'm cold
And alone
My eyes shine like abalone
Reflecting off the tears
I tried to pull the trigger
But I'm not that far yet
They said, "You aren't depressed."
I said, "Alright, bet."
Guns, they be firing
My eyes, they be crying
I've thought about dying
Lightning strikes
They be my only light
Fireflies are dark as night
The stars are gone
Where did I go wrong
So where's my rescue
Cause I put up the SOS
My life be like a game of chess
The gun be the checkmate
Gotta find a way for my king to escape
It's not the answer
I still know that
The hammer goes crack
But I can't feel the impact
Cause I'm bulletproof
I could shoot and shoot
But I'm too stubborn to die
I won't lay down my life
Stuck at an impasse
My heart's like glass
It went crack
To long ago
Eyes still shine like abalone
The tears, they show
That I'm still alone
