Slither

I can't take anymore
I felt the strain ripping me apart
But who's to blame, I've come too far
To keep dwelling or give it up

How can I find peace?
Live up to what I ought to be?
No matter what I can't just stay
Down on my knees
Down on my knees

Words try to surrender my will
Whispers in the night
Dragging with me wherever I go
Crawling through the dirt

I know I'll feel this forever
I know I'm always restless
But I'll always remember
These times are here to test us

Pulse gets quicker
Sweat on the palms of my hands
Blood gets thicker
A downpour on where I stand

I can't take anymore
I felt the strain ripping me apart
But who's to blame, I've come too far
To keep dwelling or give it up
How can I find peace?
Live up to what I ought to be?
No matter what I can't just stay
Down on my knees
Down on my knees

And yet this burden consumes every thought
No one will hear me
Suffer through this or have it break free
No one can hear me
Can't let this sickness become whole
No one will take it from me
From me
If there's a god above me
He's got a lot to answer for
