I keep hoping
That somehow it’ll all work out
That I’ll find a way to feel something
Other than this crushing weight
I keep trying
To dig out of this grave I’ve built
Surrounded by the dirt and dark
Nothing wants to come inside
I keep fighting
To bring the light into the world
To be the voice for someone else
That I wish to hear in my own ears
I keep falling
And where before I rose again
I can’t seem to find my feet
Maybe it’s not worth it now
But I’ll keep going
Because there’s nothing else for me
But to be the man I am
And someday maybe I’ll learn why
