Promise to Me

Halfway out the door
Halfway over life
Lighting up the void
Doesn't happen overnight
Is there another way out?
Is it possible to know?
It's been hard to keep the faith
Try not to be a ghost

Tell me what you want me to be
I'm tired, crying myself to sleep
I don't really want you to see
I just want a moment of peace

It's time to make a promise to me
I will be all that I can be
I will learn to live with myself
I will win the war with my fear
I will not be locked in my hell
I will not make myself bleed anymore
I will not drink from the well
I won't be corrupted by greed
I will not succumb to the spell
Money is the devil, it seems
Can you see how far that we fell?
If only you knew what we could be
