91darby – Ripples In A Pond lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tired of my darkness, I need more light
Tired of my crutches, this isn't your fight
Careless, self absorbed, perfect shell
Sinking ships a broken bows, a worthless sail

[Hook]
Can I hold on
Can I hold on

[Verse 2]
Not the King that I thought I was, not the martyr you needed
Not the joy that I came across, not the sorrow you bleed in
I'm just hateful and typical, I hate painting a visual
Of that mural of madness, sorrow and sadness
Do the same shit that I criticize them for
Won't pay the price of my life, so I spent yours
I need attention, I need recognition
I need the power, I need the greed
I need to breathe, I need to breathe
While I run after an ending that I don't believe
How could I foresee all those emotions that I left unchecked
All of those signs, I left them on read
All of those words, I left them unsaid
I'm a coward
Hiding behind I designed in the dark recesses of fallacy
Endless casualties cause I don't know myself as well as I should
I thought I was fit to help, don't think I could
Settle down, rest your soul, the universe will bless your soul
I'm but a ripple in the pond, you're the ocean
Can't give your an offering, that's insulting
Blood spilling from your arteries, no motion
How much power do I really have
When I can't stop anything from ending really really really bad
I've been clinging to a silly past
Could you breathe for me? I can't breathe for you
Can you breathe for me? The least I can do

[Hook]
Hold on
Can you hold o---

[Verse 3]
Oh my, the gun or the sword
This time, the sword
Next time, the gun

[Outro]
My good friend
I know you wish that it was your words that would have pierced my chest
And my heart first
Thank you for trying
