But A Chance
What do I ask for but a chance
To let all the noise fade
For the flames licking at my brain to burn out
A chance to live my life
Unhindered by the shit I’m haunted by
A past I wish was different
A present where nothing is fair
And a future to remind me I’m almost out of time
A chance for life to pass through me
Like a calm breeze in the summer
