I like to wear my pride on my sleeve(ay) Nothing gets to me(ay) I just want relief(they) Don't know what happens behind the scenes(ay) Puppet on the strings(ay) Coping with every(day) Trying to survive hoping the feelings(change) But still everything's(stays) Barely have the means(wait) What if this is all I'm worth What if I'm cursed? What if I all I can do is try other things but none of 'em work What if it started at birth What if the first? Moment I opened my eyes I was destined for an early hearse I was born in a desert Dying of thirst And all the water to keep me alive was removed from the earth What I am suppose to learn If life just hurts? Expecting me to grow thicker skin as my flesh melts from the burns Like how I am to discern What's best or worst? I'm seeking with no sight like trying to read a book with no words I am battered I am bruised Body hanging by a noose Got two paths One is new One is bright One's in ruins One's like a Brand new room The other's Been consumed I got no- Thing left to lose Familiar One I choose Close the door Dark takes root Choked give the Chair a boot But the dark is holding me up It's keeping my neck just above Whispers in my ear "You ain't done" Just let the broken parts fall Form your new body new jaw Looking back at my demons Realize they the ones keeping me dreaming Giving me meaning never retreating Ay! Voices in my head the only ones that listen I used to keep my distance Now I'm always close for when I need assistance When I'm alone for instance I can't open my eyes they say chase my vision Remind me to keep living When all I want is to brake they keep me driven It's dark I found friends hidden No one understands you like your mirror image Get along with diminished No one supports me like my own fucking damage My flame extinguished What did I do to deserve this? Cause if I knew I'd at least have purpose If I had one wish that would come true I'd not exist and that's not new My flame was never lit Always extinguished Only extinguished No light just darkness Always extinguished Only extinguished Flame's an empty pit I'm extinguished My light is dim fading in and out of consciousness I'm cut too thin skin or shell will not persist My chance is slim sit or stand stance is Everest If ever it's come to question this My benefits will start parroting my narrative Clear it up like Claritin When you doubt me be all ears Listen to my auctioneers Failure is my greatest fear I'll swerve the odds Till I cannot Steer It's weird how the more caged I am the more free I feel When I get the weakest I drop my shield The more hurt I am the more it lessens my need to heal Like syllables being swapped And having a flow build Enough of the self reflection My toughest the glass dimension But it's the brain's obsession Bluffing then adding The upping of the complexion My skill added The double the of the proficient From the torment and the unfortunate Came adornments of sorts It's a lot I'm burdened with It's burning wit afraid it's permanent Disorders went ornament My brain could manage it and owning it But then reversing it now it's pilot Got me frightened not stable swerving it Like turbulence that's simply infinite When I met it aforementioned Blocked out vision it's imminent Danger the effects in they implement Rapid decent like I took depressants No affection survives all my toxins Take fear copied it only to use it Against what's needed I abandon it My flame extinguished What did I do to deserve this? Cause if I knew I'd at least have purpose If I had one wish that would come true I'd not exist and that's not new My flame was never lit Always extinguished Only extinguished No light just darkness Always extinguished Only extinguished Flame's an empty pit I'm extinguished A lot has abandoned me But not the fear of abandonment Like invisibility tied me down With the weight of a planet It happens so frequently knot gets tighter every minute I panic looking for boats for Safety in the middle of the Atlantic Waves come down I cannot breath Dread and anxiety compounded Thrashing around helplessly Till I find a friend or parent I'm always at the mercy Of my distorted environment Always playing tricks on me I don't think I'll ever manage it
