Decaying depth of my sanity rapidly

Nothing's even wrong; just the overwhelming chaos

No air, no space, no place, no time for processing

I don't want to suffocate or drown in this panic

Frustrated, don't know why it's so hard to stand up and

Breathe and see and think so I can listen

Transmute the agony and give it to my screaming skin

Don't leave; I know I've got to trust you

Hold onto me, just hold onto me

I won't leave you or forsake you

I can't fix you, but I can hold you down

Helpless, watching, trying to hold you through this, crying

Why can't you just think through this self deceit and doubting

I feel feel hopeless, but I can try to be your comfort

Can't relate, but trying to; cannot heal, but trying

The surgeon is God. He moves to ransom this

To give you new life, new sight, and to cut out

The tumor, your fear, this dread, this twisted deceit

The guilt, the pain, the sorrow

Look in my eyes and feel my heart beating so fast

It hurts to watch, but it will fix you

I am the witness, the chosen to hold you down

All that I ask of you is to hold onto me

I won't leave you or forsake you

I can't fix you, but I can hold you

I know I want this; you need to know this

I can't fix you, but I can hold you down

No eye looked looked with pity on you, to do any of these things for you

To have compassion on you, for you were thrown out into an open field on the day you were born

When I passed by you and saw you squirming in your blood, I said to you, "Live!"

Yes, I said to you, "Live!"

You won't leave me or forsake me

You will fix me, and You will hold me

I know You want this; I need to know this

You will fix me, and You will hold me down
