You can't save them

I am watching them ruin themselves and there is nothing I can do to stop it

I see them rip themselves to shreds and the pieces keep slipping through my fingers.

I am trying desperately to throw them a lifeline but they are to blind to see it

So they just keep drowning in their own mess.

Let them go

How do I let go of the only family I've ever known?

I try to pull us up, to pull myself up but they have become quicksand.

The more I struggle, the faster I sink

The deeper I get pulled down where I can't breathe

Where I can't see or feel anything

But I hear a whisper from above, from below, from deep within,

You can't save them

You can't save them
