Holding on

(Verse 1)

Lying on my back while staring blankly at the ceiling

My head is starting to spin and I'm grasping for air

Anxiety is settling in and there's a sharp pain in my stomach

Voices in my head getting louder with age

(Bridge)

Everything I've done seems like its been in vain

Face without a smile since I don't know when

My body is reacting to the trauma that I feel inside

How much longer do I try how do I stop being denied

(Hook)

I'm reaching my hands out into the air

Calling out to god hoping he hears my prayer

Sending my sos while looking to the heavens

I'm holding on to a belief that he we will take my pain away

(Verse 2)

from writing and burning to jumping and shouting

Trying to send a message that he will hear clearly

I even call out to the angels and gaia mother earth

Wont somebody hear my plea I'm numb and light headed help save me

(Bridge)

Feels like I'm falling between the rocks where no one can reach me

The rope has turned into a thread and I'm hanging on for dear life

As I look outside the window I see clouds moving by fast

The wind caress my face as I contemplate my state of mind

(Hook)

I'm reaching my hands out into the air

Calling out to god hoping he hears my prayer

Sending my sos while looking to the heavens

I'm holding on to a belief that he we will take my pain away
