“Dry Throat, Clenched Teeth”

I’m struggling to stand on my two feet

My fingernails digging into the dirt again

I can’t do this alone and I never could have

I need a hand tonight, I need a shoulder

I need to feel better I can’t feel better

Giving up is just too easy

This has gone on too long

Where is the end of this struggle?

Why must you take the easy way out?

Just this once, hear my plea!

I’m calling out on my knees!

I need to feel better I can’t feel better

Giving up is just too easy

This has gone on too long

Like you fell off the earth, you’re gone

But let me tell you that you still live on

My heart is growing and beating strong

You’ll never kill this heart, don’t even try
