I was going to post up a different song, but I wanted to put this together quickly. This song is dedicated to my best friend/my sister, who's having a really tough time right now. I wrote the instrumentals a couple years ago, and was originally going to go a different direction with lyrics, but wanted to write something meaningful and with her in my mind these lyrics poured out in about 20 minutes. I'll probably tweak the vocals a bit overtime, but I wanted to get this out there.

Even though it's for my sister, I hope this will reach anyone who may be feeling suicidal and like all hope is gone. I've been there myself, many times and wasn't that long ago that I had actually tried it.

Lyrics:

Are you feeling

Like you’ve burned too bright

You got a dangerous mind

When you fade inside

You’re alone, lost

Destabilized

I know you feel it now

The walls are breaking down

Now’s the time to fight

Find the strength; hold on

I know this moment hurts

Remember these words

In the end you’ll understand

Just hold on

Are you reeling

From the all the highs

Now you’re crashing

Down below

Are you aching

For a better time

When you didn’t feel alone

I know you feel it now

The walls are breaking down

Now’s the time to fight

Find the strength; hold on

I know this moment hurts

Remember these words

In the end you’ll understand

Just hold on

Fight, I hope you'll fight

Remember why you fight

I know you’re feeling broken

Hopeless, like no one hears your cries

When you’re damaged and desperate

That’s when we come alive

You are worthy, you are loved

God just hold on

When the moments gone

And you see with clearer eyes

I know you’ll look back at

The life you left behind

You can feel the pride

Appreciate your life

And I hope you’ll help someone else

To just hold on
