Assemblage 23

I am merely the product
Of the life that Ive lived
An amalgam of sorrows
And the wisdom they give
But the weight has grown heavy
And its dragging me down
Its so hard not to sink now
But I dont want to drown
CHORUS
Im damaged
But somehow Ive managed
This far
But I dont know if I can find my way back home
Im damaged
But somehow Ive managed
For now
But I dont think I can face this on my own
There is beauty in hardship
There are poems in grief
There are trials we must go through
Though they may shake our beliefs
But I dont know how I got here
Lost in the cynical dusk
Set adrift in the worry
That Ive no one to trust
(CHORUS)
If to suffer is holy
Ill take my share of the pain
I can swim through this sadness
If theres something to gain
I can reach for the surface
And try to pull myself free
But the last thing I want is
To drag you down here with me
(CHORUS)
