Hold My Hand

The silence presses heavy on my chest
Memories come and never rest
I see your face though you're not here
It pulls me close, it keeps me near
The pain won't fade, I can't withstand
I only breathe when you hold my hand

No words can save, no plans can stand
I just need you to understand

Hold my hand, don't let go
Pull me down or take me home
If the night consumes my breath
Stay with me through life and death
My silence screams the things I hide
But I will survive... with you by my side

The weight inside is too much to hide
I carry it low, I feel it inside
Your name returns like a radio song
It stays with me though you've been gone
The doubt inside won't let me rest
I'm shaking, still I try my best

The silence screams, it pulls me in
No calm, no rest, no way to win

Hold my hand when the night is long
When my heart feels weak, when the world feels wrong
Every shadow drags me to the ground
I reach for something I have not found
My silence screams the things I hide
But I will survive... with you by my side

Every memory sinks into my soul
The night stretches beyond any goal
I linger where the shadows bleed
I stand where pain refuses to leave

I've walked through fire, I've faced the cold
The night is cruel, the world is bold
Yet even broken, I remain
Through endless loss, through endless pain
The shadows fade but cannot take
I rise again and please... hold my hand
