With bated breath i wait,
for things in this life to change,
begging for my eyes to never lose sight,
as i crawl on through the dark.
With bated breath i wait, for the light to draw so near,

pleading for my soul to never lose hope,
for this place is full of despair.
With bated breath i wait,
for joy to cover up my hate, in this place where iv been for so long,
nothing i do is right, everything is wrong.

The walls i built to seal them out,
to keep me safe, keep falling down like crumpling faith,
ill stand my ground and rebuild them up around.
And, when I'm done, they'll have their fun, the monsters, as they roar, fight,
and try to steal my life away.

Ill survI've, ill fight my way out of this place, ill make it.
ill reach the peak of this mountain, that I've fallen down so many tI'mes.
knuckles and hands raw and sore from catching myself,
with the weight of the world pressing down upon my shoulders,
ill look out over everything,
when I'm at the top,
ill close my eyes, and,

With bated breath ill wait,
for my new beginning.
