Will of Existence

I speak of the places where I grew cold
I know now why I can just not let go
They’re warnings to never let my love grow old
My strength lies in feeling the things I know

I speak of a wisdom that conscious gave
The gift of our reason and our will to say
Keep holding on and we’ll find a way
This is what we are unless we betray

Fear then control then evasive lies
Your love turned to loss now you close your eyes
No reason to think that you should hold on inside
As the world just reflects everything that dies

Pain leads to ice leads to overflow
Our will is the fire that can melt the snow
It’s either this or become death and reap the show
Only to force them into undertow

I still exist even though I fell
I still believe after every level of hell
Even if I crawl I will hold my heart
Even if I fall down I will just restart
