Keep your head up

When everything slowly goes by
I spend my time to build a space
A crack between you and me
Looking at the scars
I have got from you
When you cut me down
And walk right through
I try my best to forget
I try my best to keep my head up
I will not embrace the emptiness
It seems like I have to
The hole from your knife
That you stuck in me
Are eating me up
And don’t leave me be
My strength is lost
I wandering around in darkness
I feeling my way forward
Trying my best to keep my head up
Keep your head up
Keep your heart close
Don’t give anything away
Keep all of your strength alive
Someday I will meet you
And be able to look in your eyes
Then I know the black hole is gone
And that my strong mind and soul are healed
And my spine is filled with pride and strength
Then I know
I can keep my head up
Because when I see you I do remember
Behind your soft eyes there is
A demon in black starring at me
Blinding me from the world
And that’s when I realize
All I was searching for was myself
Keeping my head up
