[Verse 1]
Trudging through the dirt
Wondering why it feels like me against the earth
All my life I've searched only to realize
I've paid more than it's worth

[Chorus]
How long can I keep this up?
I'm tired and I'm barely holding on (Holding on)

[Verse 2]
There's no turning back
Now drunken knives are dancing on my wrist
How did it come to this?
I gave it all I had
Now I just wait for death as blood runs down my hands
Oh, as I black out I hear a voice say "Don't let go"
So close to hell
Just take me home

[Chorus]
How long can I keep this up?
I'm tired and I'm barely holding on
How long until I've had enough?
I'm tired of living my life in the dark
[Bridge]
Tall figures surround me
In black hoods with no face
They slowly approach me
And draw swords from their sheathes

[Breakdown]
Prepare to die
Is this what you wanted?
A blinding light and it all goes quiet

[Chorus]
How long can I keep this up?
I'm tired and I'm barely holding on
How long until I've had enough?
I'm tired of living my life in the dark
