I’ve been wrestling these demons in the silence of my mind,
Putting on a smile, actin’ like I’m doin’ fine.
But the cracks are showin’ through, in ways I can’t disguise,
And lately I’ve been prayin’ just to make it through the night.
I’m hanging on tight as I can,
If only I had another hand,
To help hold me tight, the length ain’t right—
And I’m not sure where I will land.
The rope ain’t gettin’ longer, seems like it’s shorter as time goes on,
The harder I grip, the more the pain makes me want to let go,
I’m kickin’ and screamin’, but nothin’ helps, just spendin’ strength I don’t own.
And my cries, they fall on deaf ears—it’s drivin’ me mad and feelin’ alone.
Like a tree fallin’ in the forest, do I even make a sound?
If I was to let go of this rope, would anyone notice i’m not around?
The anger and grief that follows might only hit a few,
But give it some time, they’ll move on—I’ll be just a blur in the rearview.
I’m hangin’ on with bloody hands,
If mercy’s out there, I hope it understands.
These thoughts are loud, this world’s so wide,
And I just want a place where I can hide.
The rope ain’t gettin’ longer, seems like it’s shorter as time goes on,
The harder I grip, the more the pain makes me want to let go,
I’m kickin’ and screamin’, but nothin’ helps, just spendin’ strength I don’t own.
And my cries, they fall on deaf ears—it’s drivin’ me mad and feelin’ alone.
Lord, if you’re listenin’, I’m not askin’ for much,
Just a little bit of peace, or a steady hand to touch.
Somebody tell me I still matter, that I ain’t too far gone,
‘Cause I’ve been on this rope too long, holdin’ on ’til the break of dawn.
The rope ain’t gettin’ longer, and my hands are slippin’ fast,
Been holdin’ on to hurt too long, don’t know how long I’ll last.
I’m kickin’ and screamin’, burnin’ fuel I never had,
And if I vanish in the silence… would anyone feel sad?
The anger and grief that follows might only hit a few,
But give it some time, they’ll move on—I’ll be just a blur in the rearview.
