It's Getting Hard (Acoustic)

The shadows follow me everywhere

And I just sit and breathe the heavy air

Sleep escapes, and hours fade

Like ice, my soul begins to break

Scars untouched by any cure

I count the days, but I'm not sure

The light is there but getting far

I know it's not yet dark… but it’s getting hard

It’s getting hard to feel

It’s getting hard to care

The world keeps spinning still

But I’m not really there

Behind each smile, behind each card

I whisper low: it’s getting hard

She wrote a letter, sweet and kind

Told me all the thoughts inside her mind

But I can’t find the reason why

I should believe or even try

I’ve seen the lies behind the charm

The empty laughs that do me harm

Been to the ocean, touched the stars

But still, it’s not yet dark… just getting hard

It’s getting hard to feel

It’s getting hard to stay

The world keeps walking past

And I just drift away

The night still holds a fragile guard

It’s not yet dark… but it’s getting hard

I was born into this endless spin

And I’ll die inside, though I pretend

No memories left to understand

Just prayers I keep with trembling hands

It’s getting hard to breathe

It’s getting hard to try

But somewhere in the dark

I still don’t say goodbye

The weight I bear is cold and scarred

It’s not yet dark…

But it’s getting hard
