Baby Maybe

drinking deeply, I am seduced by this poison
its toxins coursing slowly through my battered veins
in this state of drunken stupor
I see how much life should truly mean

baby I'm just a little crazy, but I've never felt more sane
maybe holding on is pointless, but letting go leaves me to blame
baby i wish this was just a dream, in which my thoughts betray
but this life is all too real and much too valued to throw away


swallowed whole by my logic
so compelled to take a second glance
though I have come to regret it
I gave these lives a second chance
undying is this resent
forever buried beneath its burden
using my past to depict the present
so eager to get my final words in

baby I'm just a little under, but I never felt more on top
maybe staying strong is futile, but I won't allow your heart to stop
baby I know reality is painful, I know these words may never sooth
but this is hope that they'll hit you deep and turn you on to something new

baby I may be just be one person
but together we can take on this world so cruel
fighting forever to just get one verse in
establishing our lives even if it means breaking the rules
cannot promise redemption
cannot say that our endeavors will bring fruit
but its better to live aware and knowing
than to die not having the slightest clue

baby I'm just a little tired, but never have I felt more alive
maybe enduring the struggle is stupid, but without pain I cannot thrive
baby I can still feel your heart beating, don't you give up on me now
I may not have all the answers but I'll find them some way some how
