The Bedlam Times - If Only

Not today I can't give up
I'll try again and longer
Not today I won't give in
If only, only, only
I could be a little stronger
Even if it kills me I'll find no relief after I die
I'll be shackled to my killer in the afterlife
Or will I realize in the light of all those who have died purified
That the ropes he used to bind were never truly tied
Oh what a beautiful connection
Though I know I never reached perfection
And while correction never led to flying
All that mattered was that I died trying
I've been sliding, grinding, diving
If only, only, only
I'd hold on a little longer
I'll keep climbing, fighting, rising
If only, only, only
I could be a little stronger
I will never give up on the hope of being made whole
Even on the bleakest winter day I could find new growth
Inside it's "do or die" and other ungodly lies
Once was worthless now am purchased
Of this I can testify
Oh what a beautiful connection
Though I know I'll never reach perfection
And while correction has never led to flying
All that matters is that I die trying
I've been sliding, grinding, diving
If only, only, only
I'd hold on a little longer
I'll keep climbing, fighting, rising
If only, only, only
I could be a little stronger
The words "if only" only matter in mortality
Then comes the night where no labor can be performed
The words "if only" only matter in mortality
Then comes the night where no labor can be performed
The words "if only" only matter in mortality
Then comes the night where no labor can be performed
So rise
Not today I can't give up
I'll try again and longer
Not today I won't give in
If only, only, only
I could be a little stronger
I'll keep climbing
Not today I can't give up I'll try again and longer
Fighting, rising
Not today I won't give in
If only, only, only
I could be a little stronger
I'll keep climbing
Not today I can't give up I'll try again and longer
Fighting, rising
Not today I won't give in
If only, only, only
I could be a little stronger
