I'm in distress because I'm asking a lot
Look out for her and everyone
You can't see it, but they'll feel it
Know what's right, know the fight
Love harder than they hate
Listen more than you speak
Amongst your family and your friends
Stand ready but always stand
You see through it, right past it
The flesh is nothing, we all bleed
I hope you will be as brave and strong
As they will need you to be
Love harder than they hate
Listen more than you speak
Amongst your family and your friends
Stand ready but always stand
What they fear is what you are
Blind to their walls
Their abuse, it must be checked
Their position falls
The past remains bloody
The future's in the clouds
I hope you will be as brave
As they will need you (to be).

Smiling lock, classroom talk
You are not a friend
Still hold the badge to this day
No excuses left
You're against all of us
Betrayed, shield of rust
You are the rapist, the racist
The murder, the torture
The neglect, the violence
The fear, the bruised
The shook, the abused
You are not our friend
You are against all of us
Betrayed, shield of rust
You were never here for us
And you were never here for them
You are the hate that you spread
In repugnant denial
Sir yes, sir shot
Sir yes, sir dead.

My head is spinning, I'm losing control
Feeling so bleak, never been this low
Engulfed in rage, words come out
I see the hurt, I want to take it back
I didn't mean it, I want to fix it
But I can't change the past
My mind's a sick room, there's no door
I'm becoming what I abhor
Engulfed in rage, words come out
I see the hurt, I want to take it back
I didn't mean it, I want to fix it
But I can't change the past
Truth above all, a promise to make
No looking back, it's build or break
Break!
Now I'm face to face
Against my shadow self
Sick of all this shame
Sick of feeling sick.

I'm telling you her story
You're asking why
There isn't any reason
And it's still being told
I'm breaking the light
I hope that you can still see
We must atone
We must beg (for forgiveness)
Systematic, unsympathetic
Still moving on
Never forgetting
Hoping for a new dawn
Actions, pen, vial, rifle
Human prison, vile, stifled X 2
Systematic, unsympathetic
Still moving on
Never forgetting
Hoping for a new dawn
Ripped away, ripped to shreds
Shades of orange bled.

Reflection

Taking stock of what I had become
Lead to a single choice
Ignore all the other noise
Shut out the other's voice
Fixation on me, not you, might seem the same
All I know is I miss having you to blame
The woes were mine this whole time
I just tried to pin them on you
Taking control of my response
Is the only thing I could do
Fixation on me, not you, might seem the same
All I know is I miss having you to blame
I blame myself for blaming you
But I can't keep looking back
Staring the problem in the mirror
Looking past the cracks.

Weight

Never cared to be alive
Until I thought this through
Now I feel the weight
Of everything I say and do
Paralyzed by this love of life
Holding of for every day and night
Moving closer to being gone
Inside every moment we hold
A string of tears and joy and fears
This warmth slowly turning cold
Paralyzed by this love of life
Holding on for every day and night
Scared to live, scared to die
Scared to live, I hope I can be enough
The ending is coming and I've just begun.

Search

Still lost in darkness, running into walls
A light in the void sets a spark in my soul
A time of grief, a time of loss
A time of contemplation
A time to leave past in the past
Searching for salvation
A sinking feeling, we've been here before
Caught in a cycle of mistakes, lessons we ignored
A time of grief, a time of loss
A time of contemplation
A time to leave past in the past
Searching for salvation
Strength from pain, courage from fear
Truth from lies, a light in the dark.

Thinking back on a hate filled husk
Decayed by decades of rust
And where I'm at with my feet on the grass
In a place I'm learning to trust
Moving on means letting go but knowing when to hold on
There was good in the times I was wrong
When I was wrong
Built up my walls and punched right through
But now I'm learning it's fine
I love, I laugh, I cry, I'm scared
Fearful but warmed by the light
Moving on means letting go but knowing when to hold on
There was good in the times I was wrong
When I was wrong
All that I am, all that I said
The years pass by, but still I feel it's a lifetime of regret
All that I've seen, all that I've done
I keep pushing forward, past the memories
of when I was wrong.
