Hard Pressed For Success

I'm not so sure

I can keep my hands

To myself

Anymore

As the rope twists

I begin to struggle up against it

And can you see

The ghost in me?

This has a certain way of ending up

If I just give my life away

But if I never ever close my eyes

I could just stay awake

And It's far

Too heavy

To carry

This burden around

But you know what that's about

I've wasted my

Good times

I'm worried about how I'm

Still picking up the pieces

As I start to leave them

And can you see

The ghost in me?

This has a certain way of ending up

If I just give my life away

But if I never ever close my eyes

I could just stay awake

And It's far

Too heavy

To carry

This burden around

But you know what that's about

It's an excuse to close my eyes and sway

As I start to decay

If I just let go I can thrive

If I just let go I can die

Can I give it a try?

(If I just let go, I can die)

What's it like?

Can I give it a try?

(If I just let go, I can die)

What's it like?

This has a certain way of ending up

If I just give my life away

But if I never ever close my eyes

I could just stay awake

And It's far

Too heavy

To carry

This burden around

But you know what that's about

It's an excuse to close my eyes and sway

As I start to decay
