"Desperate to Survive"
I am shadowed...by what seems to be the end
Aware...my hopes will only pretend
To silence...the voices I hear calling me
And forcing me to face the truths to be...
I refuse to accept my fate and not believe
There's no escape... I'm desperate to survive
For I'm alone...and a captive of my past
Solitude...my penance is cast
For vicious memories, taunt my piece of mind
I feel helpless and despair, a victim of time
I just have to stay alive...there's nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide...I'm desperate to survive
Will time stand still for me...I'm desperate to survive
I can't take this torment
I can't take the thought I have to stay
Forever inside my terror
There lives all the sins I must repay
I'm trapped by suffering, so tragic
I can't take this pain
So lost in my sorrow, so endless
It's too hard to maintain
I'm desperate to survive...will time
Stand still for me...I'm desperate to survive
