Rise Above

dedicated to maeghan...

When the love inside you dies
And leaves a hollowed shell in its wake
Time slows down around you
And you realize the truth, it's your fault

The sadness mixes in with guilt
Leaving your mind open to attack
The sins of the past come in force
Leaving you cold and abandoned

Some say that's the way it should be
After the heart you destroyed
No mercy or hope in your life
They say you deserve the hell you created

Then they want you to burn out inside
Reminding you of the failure you've become
How long is too long you ask
When will they let you smile again

Then you look for other ways out
You don't care how the pain subsides
You know you suffered enough
Now you don't love your own soul

Then you hear a voice call you
With the gentleness of an angel
Whispering a single sentance
That will help you to go on

"I'm here for you dahlin' always."
