Carry Me Home

By Dommi

I drank tonight and thought of you
and how I've forgotten who I am
I thought of how you've always been
around when no one understands

When my sickness consumes my sanity
and I cannot trust a soul
When I blame you for my broken heart
but still love you with the whole

When I've built my fortress walls so high
They black out the very light
When my demons eat away at me
and I don't put up a fight

When I slip below the surface
and the water's over my head
When there's still so much to rise up for
but I'd rather drown instead

When this life becomes too hard for me
and I can't stand on my own
When I crumble to a trembling mess
...I hope you'd still carry me home...
