Pieces of my soul, I've grown a weakness to the cold.
I've had enough of this frostbite, there's no more pieces I can hold.

I'm giving in, I'm giving up, I'm cashing in all my bad luck.
I'm saying no, I've had enough, but still my Diamond's in the rough.


and it's okay, to say I'm wrong,
and It's so grey, so what have I become.
when it's open, let out what I have done,
'cause I'm lonely, just see where I have run.


Darkness grab ahold, Upon the colors I've been sold,
and evil come upon the greatest light that I've been told.

I will not play this round, I'm not about to lose my ground,
so wash away the dreams of all the secrets I have found.


I told you of this fight, it may be wrong, it feels so right,
take me by the hand, please don't lose me to the night.

I told you I was done, so don't act shocked when she has won,
I've prayed my mouth to death, for you to take away her gun.


and it's okay, to say I'm wrong,
and It's so grey, so what have I become.
when it's open, let out what I have done,
'cause I'm lonely, just see where I have run.


I take a taste, I take a bite, I lose myself to this delight,
I do it once I lose my feel, I do it twice I lose my sight.

To take away this pleasure now, don't even try, I won't allow,
The show will still go on, but you are gone so take a bow.


alcohol is not a taunt, it's melancholy that I want,
your drugs are nothing to my gain, I'm drawn to sickness and it's fonte.

goodbye my love, goodbye my friends, I've liked the times that we have spent,
but now I'm signing her a lease, because my soul is up for rent.


and it's okay, to say I'm wrong,
and It's so grey, so what have I become.
when it's open, let out what I have done,
'cause I'm lonely, just see where I have run.


I'm tired of these thoughts, all running through my head,
I cried for what I've lost, now you've left me for dead.
and if I can't be saved, then listen to me now.
I've thrived for your embrace, so save my thoughts somehow.


It's all at stake, for heaven's sake, my dreams are hell when I'm awake,
I could partake, in these mistakes, for I've been bitten by the snake.

The poison rushes through my vains, Sick is my heart, sick is my brain,
why has she taken me, why has she called upon my name?


Why can't you ever see, what I, your friend, turned out to be?
Why is it you can't hear her, when the serpent calls for me?

I'm falling off the ledge, for all I know, I'm good as dead,
Think of how you've killed me, through the nothing you have said.


and it's okay, to say I'm wrong,
and It's so grey, so what have I become.
when it's open, let out what I have done,
'cause I'm lonely, just see where I have run.

@CreativeWolf16 this song is better than "head down". "The poison rushes through my vains, Sick is my heart, sick is my brain, why has she taken me, why has she called upon my name" this part really speaks to me. I don't really know why. I think it's the darkness of it haha. It's amazing though. Definitley keep writing.

Being optimistic isn't always being happy. It's taking what the world throws at you and saying "I'm not gonna let this bring me down"!

Wonderful!
