Decade - VILLAIN OF THE STORY

Ten years gone by\nI’ve given all I’ve got inside\nThis can’t be healthy\nI’m running on empty\nWhat about my peace of mind?\nI’m mentally exhausted\nAnd it feels like my wounds have been salted\nIt’s crazy that I wanted this\nNever thought that it would come to this\nDon’t give up\nDon’t give up\nThat’s what I tell myself\nYou’re just unlucky\nYour time is coming\nI keep running in place and I get nowhere\nWas it all for nothing?\nI see it all fall apart with my own eyes\nAnd realize that I’ve been\nDropped down not ever knowing how\nI ever got so high\nWhere’s the light that made me feel alive?\nAlive\nThe fear in my mind\nHas driven all my hopes to hide\nNow I’m feeling the pressure\nDoes it get any better?\nAm I running out of time?\nNow my body’s exhausted\nThought I found hope but I lost it\nIs it crazy that I wanted this?\nAm I crazy now\nBecause\nI keep running in place and I get nowhere\nWas it all for nothing?\nI see it all fall apart with my own eyes\nAnd realize that I’ve been\nDropped down not ever knowing how\nI ever got so high\nWhere’s the light that made me feel alive?\nAlive\nBut if I don’t keep running\nI’ll never know what could have been\nIf I give in I kill my dignity\nBut if this is what it will take to make me feel whole\nThen I know, know, I know\nI can’t give in\nI keep running in place and I get nowhere\nWas it all for nothing?\nI see it all fall apart with my own eyes\nAnd realize that I’ve been\nDropped down not ever knowing how\nI ever got so high\nWhere’s the light that made me feel alive?\nAlive\nI keep running in place and I get nowhere\nWhat about my peace of mind?\nI see it all fall apart with my own eyes\nAm I running out of time?\nDropped down not ever knowing how\nI ever got so high\nWhere’s the light that made me feel alive?\nAlive
