Rain

Tears fall from a familiar place when the world decides to rain. The hopeless feeling, it took over when I watched my world change.
Tears fall from a familiar place when I had to watch you go. The best parts of life speed right past you and the hard parts move so slow.
It feels like I've got my hands tied... Life is moving forward and I'm not in control. My fears are coming true, I don't know what to do. Too eager to step ahead, while I miss the past.
I guess you never know what you have until it's gone. From endless nights to waking up at dawn. I guess I always felt like I was making a mistake. They say success is a blessing but it feels like a curse today.

Light The Match

If you can't see through another's mind how can you define what's truth or a lie? Always got to look behind to find what's best in life. Was this just thought or another lie.
If In my head it's burning to the ground, all I think at least it was ever around. With debris falling down and ash all over my face I'll grab a light then ignite this place.
It was only a dream but who am I to say that it's false? Times like this I just don't know right from wrong. Even despite with what's in front of my knees it's certain my flesh will decay into nothing.
We're building deserts where railroads used to align. I'm falling short of all I wanted in life.i just wanna fade to see where I wanna go and where I wanna be.

Year Of Loss

If not love lost, then its love thats been taken from me.
I don't expect you to know how its been weighing down on me.
It's been a whole year of loss, but it what it is.
No use in searching for a reaching hand from a world that doesn't know you exist.
The worlds at large.
You think you're the only one that matters?
The world wont stop spinning when hearts are shattered.
It's been a whole year of loss, but it is what it is.
I used to search for a silver lining but now i just don't give a shit.
I used to search for that reaching hand from strangers I don't even know.
Everyone's got enough on their plate, you gotta make it on your own.
These times are tough and swallowing pride goes down like a knife,
but you're gonna fend on your own for the rest of your life.
When we were kids we had it all someone was there to give us insight,
but decades later its just us; nobody cares or knows that you're alive.

Fear Of Change

The vice clamps down - you try to break the mold. With your irrational fear of getting old. We fought the same battle once, but too much time has passed. You're scared of being stuck in one spot... you think you're going outside of the box. Little do you know you're playing right into their hand.
I've learned you can't fight the inevitable. Time takes its toll. You'll break before they fold.
I won't be stuck in the same old spot like your fear of change. Moments come, and then they're gone... You can't hold what's slipping away.

Cut The Strings

I’m so tired of feeling bad for things out of my control. No longer will I feel remorse that isn’t mine to hold.
So I’ll cut the strings let you be on your own, and you’ll move imprecisely until you decide to show.
We can only look back and laugh at how we used to be. What’s the point of a grudge when we all just want to find our peace?
So when problems arise we can only feel empathy and not let our emotion get the best of us without understanding.
These pains are fading, I’m starting to free.
All I want is what’s best for everything.

Capital Exploitation

The structure of this world has me on my knees do whatever they say just to make ends meet. I gave into the suits, what have I done? What can I do? Where can I run? I gotta do what I can to survive and try to level through the toughest times.
I'm struggling to stay on my feet but every day I'm closer to stability. if mania hits, well that's a bust and I waste away all that was.
Their authority is every where I see bonded by their words for eternity.
These fucking old men have ruined everything capital has abolished our whole community.
Exploitation it's not in me

Is It Too Late?
01:40

It's times like this I need some help, I thought you all had me figured me out. Because when I cry for help I don't scream and shout, I keep it to myself and no one else.
I'm losing the battle with time itself, I let my youth slip from my hands. A slave to the check of someone else but I cant bite the feeding hand. So much time goes by that I don't feel alive, a cycle I wish I could escape. And when I cry from the pain inside I can only hope for better days.
It's kept me lethargic it's broken my will, all the days are the same how else should I feel? And the longer goes the harder it gets and I don't have the courage to break free from it.
Is it too late for things to change?

Perspective

In a cutthroat time, we live by someone else's rules. "Everyone's responsible for their choices in life" until it happens to you. Cause tough times can fall on anyone, but you chose to place the blame. Stepping on those weaker than you with no remorse or shame.
When we have compassion we can have some growth. They've been cut at the waist and you ask why they can't float. A black and white picture is what you paint it to be. Take a look from the other side and you'll see...
There's youth starving for a place to eat, what was the middle class are now begging in the street. You say its self inflicted poverty, but there's a bigger picture you refuse to see.
They've lived their life at a distance from the wealth, left with no opportunities to better themselves. With no compassion you blame everyone else - you place the blame as they beg for help.

Set In Stone

When you look back now, is life everything that you planned out? All your goals? "Am I stuck in line? Was it all just a waste of time?". I just don't know.
It pains me to know I won't get it back. The images ahead are reflections of the past. I try to tell myself I could never fill your shoes, but when you're breathing down my neck, what else can I do?
But if everything we do is all set in stone, then why is your pain now mine to hold?

Painful Bond

The rope has been cut thought. I was done, trenched in blood squirming in the mud. What is is done is done I've got control for once. Scars never heal they only get numb - negative mentality of the scum.
