MaryJane Thomson - Holding Out and Holding On

Blocked from yourself, grasping for real life
Every breathe a struggle, as you grip on to the edge of sanity
Oh, it is time to call in and curl up
In state annoyed at any sound
This withdrawal taking you down

Dosage down, mood so low, you've lost your will to breathe
Thoughts stay low, you huddle round them
Your body spooning your turmoil, shaking on the inside
So rigid, you can see it, you can feel it
This is controlling your mind

It's all gone now
You don't do what you should
No vision of anything
Just an outfit to die in

Is this what you're dying for
Dying for your sanity and your sanity alone
Killing you because you have to hold on and hold out

Life, walking through life
To the supermarket, home, to work
Holding out and holding on

You don't make the call
You do a drive by
They live there you suspect
You don't call, you drive by
Holding out and holding on

This day and that day
Next month, next year
There is a mantra
Do not cave, do not cave, do not cave, do not cave

But what for? If you can't live and be well
If it's a treadmill of struggle
Clinging, always clinging to the handle bars of life
Life taking your for the ride

People, people, people, people
There's always people
Holding out and holding on
Get on their bus, lose your ticket
This a life time concession

But hell, you a'int the only one
Holding out and holding on
