Lacking -

Edging away from the precipice

Shaking off shackles that connect me to the past

Reaching out for hands that brush my fingers

Lacking the momentum to escape

Why was it so hard

To deviate from this destructive behaviour?

Humbled by the empathy of others

Patience, so much greater than mine

Avoiding the crux of the problem

Blinded by my fear of the unknown

Desperate to get back to the trail

I keep on grinning

Keep on grinning

Keep on grinning

I’ve come too far to fail

I move ahead and

Keep on grinning

Keep on grinning

Something’s got to give

I’ve reached the bottom

Of the barrel

I’ll keep my head and

It might be time to leave you

Emotional but open to reason

Unable to change this on my own

Incapable and all out of energy

Yes, I’m sceptical

But to doubt is my nature

I’m over the worst of

This torrid experience

Worn out and resigned

Open to your influence

Guide me to the exit

Be my salvation

It’s far from over

It’s far from over

I won’t lose control

Must have control

Will take control

Won’t stop and

I won’t lose control

Must have control

Will take control

Won’t stop and

I won’t lose control

Must have control

Will take control

Won’t stop and

I won’t lose control

Must have control

Will take control

Won’t stop and

I won’t lose control

Must have control

Will take control

Will take it all

Change is on the horizon

Change is on the horizon

I’ll take it back
