I Must Continue

Im tired of covering up
all of my scars..
but I dont have the heart to stop cutting
my legs, my body and arms..

These promises I have
their values are so great
but I cant hold them too tight
because they always break

So easily scratched and tainted,
life is like a priceless gem...
but for some reason, no matter how valuable...
I keep shattering them

Although I want to quit
I know I musent give in...
this is just the start of life...
the true journey has yet to begin...

I can only hope to make it
through the path that lies ahead
wish upon something so far away
as I silenlty lay in bed

the stars tell me theres something
my heart tells me theres not
I dont know wich to believe in
because its something forever sought...

Theres something missing here
deep within my mind
something that holds me back
that keeps me in a bind

until I release this anguish
and let go of all this pain
this bind that holds me back so much
keeps me chained everyday....

As the stars are falling
I think back through the years...
all those wasted moments
all those held-in tears...

So forward I must go
into the new coming dawn
because this past that haunts my dreams
is nothing more but gone...

Take care all my loved ones
for you I will no longer see...
I hope the best and pray for you...
and hope the same for me...
