how do you hold forever

is it in the blade,

or is it in the blood?

does it keep safe within the warmth

or does it breath even in cold?

can you see it in the stars

or is its glimmer blind?

how do you hold forever

when you only have hope for today

how do you think ahead when you can't even

contemplate the present

too much too quickly but there's no escape

the walls are being rushed the floods are coming

there's no escape

i lay drowning in puddles

how am i supposed to save you

when i can't even handle myself?
