Hesitate

It looks like stars

But why are my feet planted

Suddenly it's hard

Though I have always planned it


The sky is calling

Why does it seem so far

My ears keep ringing

In silent alarms


My head is pounding

And suddenly it starts to rain

My arms are bleeding

But why does it ease the pain


Then why does the rope give up

Why do the claws hesitate

Why does it loosen its hug

And take my dream away


Why does the knife keep shaking

Why am I begging to stay

"My soul, please, don't betray me

Like I did and go away."


I've always dreamed about this

So why am I afraid

There's nothing in this life left

So what's the point of another day


I can no longer see straight

And my lungs burn in my chest

If I live I'll go insane

So why am I calling for help
