hold me through life

take my hand, please, guide me through life

gently put my hand down when i pick up the knife

steady me when it's tough and i stumble

twine your fingers in mine when my mind is a jumble

squeeze my hand and lend me strength

the coil of darkness in my mind has no end to its length

when tears are pouring down my face

and i claim i'm weak and a huge disgrace

hold me, will you? don't leave me alone

what i might do next scares me, for it's unknown

grab me, please, i need you, i do

clasp my hands when i think of thoughts untrue

be the ladder in the pit, and the driftwood in the sea

don't lose me to the depths, not while i wish to be free

when i beg that you let go, pay no mind to me at all

when i teeter on the cliff, please don't ever let me fall

please, hold me close and hold me tight

just so i know that i'll be alright

stop me when i try to fling poison at my mind

help me see the light, when to hope i am blind
