Life Goes On

Life goes on.

So many things pass me by.
I feel as though I'm left behind.
Everything is generally slowing down.
I need a captivating sign.

Life goes on.
With or without.

I need your help, I need to see
You come and finally set me free.
I want to be loose, no longer tied down.
Let's escape without a sound.

For life goes on
With or without.
I don't want to be stuck here
In the past all alone.

Untie these hands, loosen these bonds
Rid me of these shackles, set me down.
Get me away from here.
I have no desire to stay.
Oh, these awful memories
I'll never be the same.
I feel as though I'm breaking down.
Everything is going wrong.
I don't want to self-destruct
But I am and I'm a mess.

I don't want to stay here.
Just get me away.
For happiness betrays me
Every single day.
