Chase away the
Years
Steady feet keep
Me up
Plastered smile
I have become
What I swore
I’d never be
Anything to get
What’s right
To know what
It’s worth
Steady hands
Hold my fate
Useless words
Steady dreams guide
Me on
Soulless plight
Steady mind
Help me think
Easy to see
How the devil
Is buried in me
Rise above this
Steady smile
Don’t betray me
Now
When everything
Darkens
Call out to me
Steady hands
Catch me as a
I fall
Try to search
Through unseeing black
Steady voice don’t
Misguide me
I need you now
More than
Ever before
Singing pain
You’ve felt it
All before
Steady thoughts
Flow into me
Hate with everything
The void, it grows
Pain so steady
Never leaves
I’ll let it go
Before it gets
Me
Steady feet
March me forward
I yearn to feel
The warmth of
Another day
Upon us
Steady arm hold
Me upright
Courageous cowards
Stand together
Another day is upon
The world
Fated, horribly marked
Rise above this
