609 - Nevada Rose

I’ll take everything down,

That stands before me and my walk.

That was never anchored, I will drown.

I’m sinking down unanchored.

We’d rather live than waste our time,

When we know it won’t matter,

So much effort has been lost.

I haven’t given up,

I haven’t given up completely.

It’s just that words have escaped me.

We’d rather live than waste our time.

These tides have grown so strong,

These waves have risen to the point where I’m drowning.

I won’t allow this current to ever take me down.

These tides have grown so strong,

These waves have risen to the point where I’m drowning.

I won’t allow this current to ever take me down.

I’ll never forget where,

I’ve been because,

It’s brought me,

To where I need to be,

And shows me where to go.

Now that I know what the bottom feels like I can finally,

Climb my way back to the top,

I won’t stop I will never,

clawing my way out of here.

We’d rather live than waste our time,

When we know it won’t matter,

So much effort has been lost.

I haven’t given up,

I haven’t given up completely.

It’s just that words have escaped me,

We’d rather live than waste our time.
