The Endless Ache

Burning in the back of my mind
Is a constant feeling
Of emptiness that I cannot deny
Restraint is wearing thin
As the guilt that dwells within
Takes hold of me
The isolation is tearing me apart
It keeps me up at night

So as the minutes turn to hours
The hours turn to days
I've seen the loss
I've paid the cost
But will I ever be enough?

The pain is lurking in the shadows
But will it ever fade?
I've seen the loss
I've paid the cost
But will I ever be enough?

Falling further into my grief
The struggle brings me to my knees

Burning in the back of my mind
Is a constant feeling
Of emptiness that I cannot deny
Restraint is wearing thin

Falling further into my grief
The struggle brings me to my knees

So as the minutes turn to hours
The hours turn to days
I've seen the loss
I've paid the cost
But will I ever be enough?

The pain is lurking in the shadows
But will it ever fade?
I've seen the loss
I've paid the cost
But will I ever be enough?

Reminded by my scars
The mark of distant memories
Of the pain within my heart
Forever carved into me

I look for a way out
But I'm always pulled back in
By thoughts that drag me down
I never seem to win

No rest from the endless ache
Held down and bound by chains
No rest from the endless ache
Held down and bound by chains

I'll bury the pain it won't bury me
I'll carry on, I won't give in
The burden of shame it won't define me
I'll carry on, I won't give in
