Either Way

Hollow now but still in tact
My need to love my need to act
Find these words then draw them gray
Find new meaning either way

New to this but not for long
I’ll exist but not belong
Allow my sense of self to fray
Can’t lose the feeling either way

Decide to fight
Give in divide
Don’t let this be
Please let this be
Don’t get between me and these brighter days
Don’t let this be
Please let this be

Why does this leave me feeling helpless
Like none of this was even worth the time
Why does this leave me feeling helpless
When did it come to this

Decide to fight
Give in divide
Don’t let this be
Please let this be
Don’t get between me and these brighter days
Don’t let this be
Please let this be

For how long?
