Dispatch - Ash

We’re standing on a ledge

We’re facing an abyss

Frozen solid, petrified

The stakes are fathomless

There’s tension and it’s toxic

I dare not even speak

Our hopes and dreams are on the line

The future’s looking bleak

Dispatching doves in earnest

In hope to find dry land

Waiting for a sign

That there are better times ahead

Unstable and reactive

There’s nothing left to say

But to avoid ignition

To survive another day

I’m holding on

But for how long, until we’re falling?

I’m holding on

But for how long, until there’s nothing?

Before there’s nothing

This heart is suffocating

I barely feel its beat

These nerves are tied in knots

And I’m struggling hard to breathe

You say that I’m depressed

And that’s where our problems lie

Yet you’re the one who’s screaming

Crying, hating all the time

Constantly erratic

You’re overwhelming me

One wrong word or action

And we are history

So show me a solution

If there is one at all

I hold on cause I love you

I’ll still love you if we fall

I’m holding on

But for how long, until we’re falling?

I’m holding on

But for how long, until there’s nothing?

I’m holding on, until it’s gone

But for how long, until we’re falling?

I’m holding on, until it’s gone

But for how long, until there’s nothing
