What I feel
It bears no resemblance
To the trust that had been there before
I try to find a way to remove from myself
I've gotten caught and I can't figure out
Why I
Try
Isolate what I can remember
It's dug a path to the back of my mind
I try to force it out, to regain some composure
But I'm back to the place I began
And I
Can't drive this
From my head
I've found peace in dissonance
Growing cold
It's buried itself here
Another part of what I've come to be
A shard of a thought I can hardly remember
Another threat laying just out of reach
Am I
Trite?

You've taken your power to choose
You're left with no choice
And I can't save you
If fighting is all that you want
Then fight for a cause
Not just cause you're told
You need
Something to complete the story
Struggle to bring meaning to your life
I know
You're never going to break the cycle
Swallowed by the choices that you make
No peace
There's no relief
You'll wait
Impatiently
You feel
Your demands require answers
Coming from somewhere outside your head
If this
Is all the life you've ever dreamed
Make your delusions fully void of me

And he follows me with cries of treason
Like I've got any choice to stay
Sits alone and he screams along with
A stale scene that looks dead to me
And I didn't have the strength
Or the courage that I need
To find a way to tell them
Even if I had a chance
There's nothing here that I can stand
Not enough to stay
And he speaks of death like someone
Who knows that he'd rather die than change
Finality is all that's spoken
Every word is a sharpened blade
Bitter cynicism spit
Wrought of angry bitterness
Cover the truth with callous
Even if I had a chance
There's nothing here that I can stand
There's not enough

Trees

No man of flesh
Will bury me
Inside this place
I'm free
I stand alone
Without opposition
Until the day I leave
What I can't see
When I look through the trees is
A forest growing
Up around me
I've come to know
An enemy
It moves where I can't see
It slips between
The shadows and leaves
Stripping the life from me
What I can't see
When I look through the trees is
A forest falling
All around me

Pride

Carry out your dues with a sense of pride
Like you hold the answers and I am blind
Born and bred in superiority
Everything that we say is true
Preach those who father you
Just fall in line and we'll keep you safe
No reason
Just ignorance
Fucking inbreds
Scared of anything that's beyond your reach
Spewing words of hate to bind your beliefs
Your substitute identity
I pray someone cuts your tongue
Out from what has become
The empty skull you call your home
No reason
Just ignorance
Fucking inbreds

Rising up to take your place
Never meant that much to me
I'll just remind myself to stand
Place my feet where yours would be
I know that you'd never remember
But I'm the first of us to say
If I had a choice then you would stay
And though I know that you aren't dead
Sometimes it still feels that way
And it's so hard to turn away
I see the dirt under my nails
Remember how that used to feel
Remember how it used to feel
I never knew how much was left
With time our luck was bound to give
I never thought it'd be like this
Behind the glass and through our fists
We'd end up broken, beat, and scarred
But never on our own accord
It's never come to this before
And though I know that you aren't dead
Sometimes I wish it'd end that way
Cause it's so hard to turn away
I missed the mark when I placed trust
Lost my faith in one of us
Hero to human in one day
You made your choice
You went your way
Remember where you turned on me

They'll find my bones are lined with lead
A heart strung low inside my chest
My eyes don't see
Exhaustion pulls me into dreams
Why don't you speak
When all I ask is give in to the sea
I wither all that cares for me
Draw from their roots and give nothing
The words the weight
They carry more than what we say
My thoughts crush me
Under the time that has brought nothing
And nothing bears
The fruit of being
Like the bleak void of existing
And all will pass
With my last breath
I'll find my peace within this
