Hang On
They say keep hangin' on
There ain't shit to hold on to
I used to be strong
After all that I've gone through
I don't feel like myself, and
I think I need help, the people I talk to
Say keep hangin' on
I don't know if I want to
I thought it would be better when I'm older
Celebrating birthdays with the devil
On my shoulder we liked to drink together
But the minute I got sober
You started sayin' things that I've
Had trouble gettin' over
Now I'm just alone and I'm tired
I got twenty feet of rope
But I got nowhere to tie it
To climb out of this hole
Or pull myself any higher
'Cause I'm exhausted and my bones are heavy
Coated with iron
Forged in a fire and moulded with pliers
I know that I'm supposed to be
The one who's givin' hope, i'm a liar
I tried to jump the motor
And exposed all the wires
But all it did was make a spark
It didn't power the tires
It's like I'm standin' on a edge
And I'm scared i wonder: if I slip and fall
Will anyone care? I did my best to fix it
But it can't be repaired and it ain't fair
They say keep hangin' on
There ain't shit to hold on to
I used to be strong
After all that I've gone through
I don't feel like myself, and
I think I need help, the people I talk to
Say keep hangin' on
I don't know if I want to
I feel like I've been livin' on the dark side
I know it's hard to tell
But I've been goin' through a hard time
Fightin' in a blindfold with my
Ankles and my arms tied
I'm runnin' outta places where the
Bruises and the scars hide
Honestly, I'm angry and exhausted
I'm appalled at what the therapy
And medicine have cost
And I'm still tortured by the feelings that
They told me they could cure
I'm runnin' outta options, that's for sure
I don't want the sympathy or sorries
I'm not in it for the glory
Bein' popular is boring
I just wanna tell my story
All that sappy shit is corny
I won't make it 'til I'm forty
With the way that I've been feelin'
I might go before the morning
And when I leave, I will not reappear
No encore even if you stay
To scream and cheer
I just hope I help you see it clear
'Cause now we're here
They say keep hangin' on
There ain't shit to hold on to
I used to be strong
After all that I've gone through
I don't feel like myself, and
I think I need help, the people I talk to
Say keep hangin' on
I don't know if I want to
