Stretched Thin

I’m sick of feeling useless
So tired can’t close my eyes
Too much weight on my back
Trying hard to stop my stride
I’m sick of feeling breathless
But it comes as no surprise
I wanna lay here
And let life pass me by
It’s about time I stood up
It’s bout time I take what’s mine
I’m tired of always trying to be.
What the world expects of me
Yet I carry on despite the fact
I’m saving face to save myself
Breaking down but never tell
Here’s why
I’m two face but I wear it well
Like a dagger on the grindstone
Tearing parts of me away
The edge gets sharper
Leaving nothing to save
A blade quenched in oil
I am set ablaze
My anger lays dormant
Getting stronger by the day.
I’m sick of feeling useless
So tired can’t close my eyes
Too much weight on my back
Trying hard to stop my stride
I’m sick of feeling breathless
But it comes as no surprise
It’s about time I stood up
It’s bout time I take what’s mine
Ill carry onward
every day
I may be weary
But I won’t cave
I’m not meant to
rust in the rain
I may be stretched thin
But I won’t fade

Faces Buried In Stone

I've put miles and miles
between where i was
and where I should be.
Despite
My best efforts
My goals still feel
So far out of
My reach
You think I'd give up
So easily
But I'm still finding my way
I've been buried underneath
these stones are crumbling
under the weight of all these things
that keep eroding me
How am i supposed to see
the light that's fading
between the coffin and the grave
how long have i been evading
last grip to the wheel
hear my appeal
hear my cried for help
You say I'm burnt out
but I'm still on fire
I didn't combust
Just to stack your pyre
I think ill burn up
Let the flames take hold
I'd rather turn to ash
Than freeze out in the cold.
I've put miles and miles between
Where I've been
And where I need to be
Despite my best efforts
My goals still seem so far out of my reach
You think I'd give up easily
But I'm finding my way
Despite adversity
I'm still climbing.

Bare Floors

Hold my head down
So that I may breathe the water
Until I see the light
Will you become the martyr
While I cling into life
You can't hold on
While the tide rises higher
Propelled by strife
Like lambs led to slaughter
Taught to trust the knife
We've grown fed up
Told your blatant lies
Have we lost all hope
Are we borne to die
Those forced to silence resort to violence
A powder keg primed and now we ignite it.
I can't fucking breathe
I can't breathe
But neither can my brothers
Your holding the gun
Yet your the one who shudders
Fuck that
It ain't cowardice you lack
Tried to rise above it
But your standing on our backs.
Truth bends then cracks
It's evidence you lack
So you drive the nail deeper
Just to cover up your tracks
Boom boom clack clack
The coffin will collapse
You can bury all your secrets
But we know you will relapse
Dig deep then plant
While you hang em on the rack
The weeds are overgrowing
And you do not stand a chance
So prune the vines
To blur the lines
Cuz freedom is deceiving
When the deck is fucking stacked
Those forced in silence resort to violence
A powder keg primed now we ignite it.
We still can't fucking breathe
You stand on our necks press till it snaps
You keep on pushing praying we don't push back

Noose of Smoke

Watch as I decay
Dragged me through hell
This grave I dug myself
With my own hands
This dirt won’t wash away
From me
Staining without bloodshed
Truth be told I regress
Find comfort in the progress
These voices have made
Made upon the silence
That’s burrowed in my cortex
I’m left to fill the space
I’m left to fill the void
Completely devoid
My slur my hate
Drove me into this grave
I was a cut above
Stepped down another rung
Applause as I step off
I hang my head
From the rafter thinking
Maybe it’s the sickness
That makes my purpose cryptic
But the message is clear
That there is no real solace
My thoughts are fucking toxic
So, I dig deep
I dig deep.
Watch as I decay
I invite the worms into my brain
Blissful the dirt is on my face
This fate I alone embrace
The shelter is weak the walls cave in
I am the product of all of my sins
An angel of death with cold dead lips
Off with the noose
Her teeth sink in
That’s when the truth sinks in
