Maintain

Because I'm not falling backward to the slide
Or sinking in the puddles deep with softened mud
There's no will to force me back to the black
That I drew with my heart and my hands on the wall
Are the words ever clear save me now, spare my tears
Sing me to sleep, dull my mind and leave me in a stupor.

Because I'm standing up to the world that I made for myself
No more stalling no more snowing only walking ever higher
I'm not running but I'm climbing up the ladder through the fire
Tempered fever shaking fingers hold together while I'm shining
Through the walls that I built now I'm breaking them all down

Cliffs

Every day seems to falter
My will, my innocence
Caught inside wondering
Can I run or am I broken
That fleeting hero
Forgotten, lost, or dead.

Here's to you, you sorry freak
Here's to your submission
To life, to life, stop tryin
Stop trying to change your world

I'm not your hero keep moving
Keep walking off the edge
