Craning my neck to see the past
All the people I’ve known
The things I’ve been shown
Why is life such an arduous task for me?
If patience is what I have
Then rage is what I need
You told me to ‘man the fuck up’
I just want to be free
You can’t make me what you want me to be
Visions of a person never free
Never accepted what you expected from me
I’m longing for peace
Just want release
You didn’t want any part of it
How’d you expect me to feel?
You made me feel like I couldn’t be
Now I’m stuck not knowing what the fuck is real
Life is an effort and il stop when I die
Watch in horror as our worlds collide
Too sensitive to be mad
Too careful to be fair
Hell is other people, too hot to fucking bare
Life is an effort and I'll stop when I die
Watch in horror as our worlds collide
Don’t waste your breath and don’t say I didn’t try
To shield you from the storm as rain fell from the sky

Ties severed, no longer bound
But never thought this would happen to you
Life lost, decayed; memory gone forever
All that’s left is what you decide to prove
Pray for hope
Hope not to be prey
Forgotten hymns of all the debts unpaid
You can’t have peace when you’ve got missing pieces
And that’s the way life treats us
Black sheep sent out to pasture
Looked past your cry for help
There’s nobody left to remind you now
Which way is up when you’re feeling down
Old dreams haunting you
Three strikes, two lines, one life
How many times till it starts to sink in
What became of the person we knew?
I long for the day when you return to you
Don’t be deceived that your smiles deceive us
That’s just the way life treats us
I’m sick and tired of putting fires out for you
It’s causing bridges to burn
I won’t pretend to share the eyes you see through
Or know the feeling of your aching yearn
You stoop so low to achieve the highs
Just to achieve that vacant look in your eyes
You’re just an imposter fooled by his own disguise
And all I see is that haunted look in your eyes
Haunted by dreams that you can’t repress
A self destructive nature that you can’t repress
It all adds up to this fucking mess
Only look forward and move on like the rest
Lay the nightmares to rest

Full of complacency
No one would disagree
Hard feelings are the hardest to hide
You built your house of cards from a pack of lies
And I'll be smiling when it tumbled down around you
Hollow words eventually sever
You cried wolf while playing the shepherd
From here to wherever
Deep inside you know your words won’t ring forever
The things you claim
I'll never refrain
From disregarding everything that you say
Your grey matter of fact attitude
Will only add to the list of things for me to betray
No playing nice anymore
I won’t think twice anymore
The hands resist him
Hollow words eventually sever
You cried wolf while playing the shepherd
There’s no beginning to the end of my tether not
Deep inside you know your words won’t ring forever
