I lie awake on a long,dark night
I can't seem to tame my mind
Slings and arrows are killing me inside
Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine

Simple living is my desparate cry
Been trading love with indifference
Yeah it suits me just fine
I try to hold on but i'm calloused to the bone
Maybe that's why I feel so alone

Me....I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal

The sun shines and I can't avoid the light
I think i'm holding on to life too tight
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Sometimes I feel like giving up

The day reminds me of you
The night hides your truth
The earth is a voice
Speaking to you
Take all this pride
And leave it behind
Because one day it ends
One day we die
Believe what you will
That is your right
But I choose to win
So I choose to fight
To fight


Weathered (creed)
