Helpless

I see the faces
Staring up imploring to me
I feel their anger
As they pull me back down to my knees
I want to save you
But you won't even let me try
I feel your apathy
But why the fuck won't you let me try

(chorus)
Noone to hold you
Nobody there to stop the fight
You're wasting away before my eyes
And there's nothing I can do

I feel the frustration
I get close and you move further away
I talk and you hear me
But you don't hear a word that I say
I want to keep going
But I'm so close to giving up
Transformed by your weakness
Into something that I'm not

Standing at the edge
Right there on the brink
So close to falling down
Down into the drink
Open up my eyes
Smoke clouds what I'll see
Is there something down there?
Is that something me?
See my fear
Drawing near

Trying every day
Trying to break loose
Things just stay the same
Closer to the noose
Always crawling back
Habits hard to break
So lost can't find my track
Bright eyes fade away
See my fear
Drawing near
