CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A WAY
WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON
NOVEMBER 2016
ONE MORE TIME, ONE MORE SLIP
AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO HOLD ON ANYMORE
FALLING DOWNWARD WITHOUT A NET
I'M TRYING EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF
AND NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK
MY HANDS ARE TURNING BLUE
FROM HOLDING ON SO TIGHT
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME
FROM THIS DARKNESS BACK TO THE LIGHT
ONE MORE TIME
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO
I'M NOT NOT READY, I'M NOT DONE, I'M NOT THROUGH
THOUGHT I WAS GETTING CLOSE
BUT I'M NOWHERE NEAR
I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT I'M DOING, ANYMORE
STANDING WITH MY HEAD DOWN
OUTSIDE THIS DOOR
I CAN'T LOOK AWAY
I CAN'T QUIT THIS NOW
AND YET I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A WAY
I DON'T KNOW WHO TO ASK OR WHAT TO SAY
DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER I CAN HOLD ON
MAYBE IT DOESN'T MATTER, SOON I'LL BE GONE
WEARING THIS SMILING MASK
TO HIDE THE TERROR ON MY FACE
THE TURMOIL IN MY MIND
FROM TRYING TO LEAVE THIS PLACE
SO DARK AND DREARY, IT'S HARD TO FIND HOPE
DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER
I CAN COPE
WHILE I'M GLAD I WOKE UP TODAY
I STILL CAN'T FIND A WAY
I'VE ASKED FOR HELP
THEY SAY COME BACK WHEN YOU'RE LIVING IN THE STREET
TOO PROUD TO GO BACK, ADMIT DEFEAT
LOOK LEFT, LOOK RIGHT, LOOK UP
COULD THIS BE RIGHT
I ONLY SEE DARKNESS
WHEN IT SHOULD BE LIGHT
CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A WAY
JUST LIKE YESTERDAY, EVERY DAYS THE SAME
THE PAIN MARKS YOU, UNTIL YOU WONDER
IF YOU'RE GOING INSANE
YOU CALL FOR HELP
AND THE ONLY WORDS YOU HEAR
IS JUST THE ECHO FROM YOUR CRIES
