Hanging by a Thread

Lyrics by Donna Burke

​

Choices were made

For this existence

Long before I 

Understood what I was for

 

Father forgive me

For I now know what I need

This battlefield

To feel alive

To feel less dead inside

​

Black icy rain

Snakes down the void

Into this soul

Without a place to call home

Look into my eyes

This haunting night

That never ends

​

I’m hanging by a thread

As I jump in

Can’t cross the chasm

Between now and then

Cannot make sense of

The solid truth

Of who I am 

​

No tears to shed

Nothing left to grieve for

Cold ashes remain 

Where once flamed belief

​

Black icy rain

Snakes down the void

Into this soul

Without a place to call home

Look into my eyes

This haunting night

That never ends

​

I’m hanging by a thread

As I jump in

Can’t cross the chasm

Between now and then

Cannot make sense of

The solid truth

Of who I am

​

I’m hanging by a thread

As I jump in

Can’t cross the chasm

Between now and then

Cannot make sense of

The bitter truth

Of who I am

​
