Attention Seeker

You drown yourself beneath a river of contention,
posting statuses and fishing for attention,
hoping to catch my eye, well sucks for you because I'm
not ignorant to that old hook line and sinker
You must be crazy if you honestly think your status defines your life.
You're not gonna win this time.
Think twice before you speak and spare the world your hate
The writing upon the wall tells the story of a fake
I was never one for words but I’ll gladly say this twice
Your hatred won’t win this time
How can you say this was an accident?
You hypocrite! I see right through you,
Stop claiming your one step ahead
Keep trying, you’ll wind up dead
I’m done with your pointless excuses
Claiming that you’re nothing but useless
How can you say we were born for nothing?
Why can’t you see we were meant for something more?
You’re all the same, you never change, you’ve lost this game, and I’m about to ruin you.
I’ll silence you once and for all

The Fear from Within

I am the problem; I am my own worst enemy
I had this epiphany when I realized that I couldn't see
This anger that branches out from the bitterness that I've buried inside
I am the epitome of everything I never wanted to be
The man that I became reflects everything that I once despised
I am everything that I once despised
All these situations are just inside my head
Will I ever learn to just let things be?
Cuz all this overthinking is what’s bled me dry,
And I fear what’s inside will be the end of me
I always let my anger get the best of me
I take my problems far beyond their capacity
Now I must reap these awful seeds that I've sown
But I just pray that my mistakes won't leave me left alone

Stay

I've tried before to look for reason in this life to live beyond my faith
but every time I question everything the answers still remain the same (nothing is changing)
I'm still standing confident for this
trading my ignorance for bliss
Will you take my hand, or will you fall away?
Cuz in the end I just want you to stay
So when you tell me that I'm wrong because your logic tells you otherwise
you better re-evaluate your so-called "logic" in a world of lies (nothing is changing)
This world is not an accident. Your life is far from meaningless
I'm not the type to turn my back and run when things get hard, cuz even if I did I know I wouldn't get very far
the way we are is a product of our battlescars, and in the end I hope you know that this is who we are.
I wouldn't live and die for this if I wasn't confident in everything You claim to be, because in this I know I'm free

Never Fall

I see the lies and schemes you’ve built for yourself
But I won’t falter and (I won’t be undone)
I feel the weight of the world falling upon me
This is a burden but (I won’t be broken)
Their hearts are heavy and their foundation broken
But we will overcome, (we will restore them)
I will push forward till the air in my lungs fade
I won’t be silenced and I won’t let you take me alive
This is a song for the ones in need
This is a song for whoever will listen
We are the ones who share the burdens that you bear
But we will not let you carry them alone
All these years, gone to waste
Suffering for what seems like days
Bleeding out, left for dead
Stealing souls with each passing moment
Building up the walls around
Only for you to tear them back down
Broken hearts, broken souls
But we won’t be going down alone
I’m through with letting you walk all over me
It’s time for me to stand my ground
I’ve had enough of all your childish games
When will you learn that I’m not your pawn
Try all you want to change me but this is who I am
Try all you want to break me but I will never fall
Never will I fall
Never will I break, never will I be alone, never will I lose my faith. Never will I fall
You have the blood of thousands dripping from your hands
But I will be the one to rise against and take a stand
I see through your deception and I see through all the lies
No longer will I stand around and let this body die
We’re powerless divided but if we can be united we can overcome it all
So we will stand together, we will never fall!

Failed Reality
04:33

I toss and turn, but I can’t sleep at night!
These thoughts of you still plague my mind
I lack the strength to write you out of my life
I can’t let you go, but I still try to lay these dreams to rest
My time with you came to a sudden end
Even though it never had a chance
I know it’s best for me to move along
But it’s not that simple; I’ve never been that strong
Where did I go wrong?
The time we had is dead and gone,
killing me in the process
When will I move on?
These memories aren’t worth the pain anymore
So tell me why you haunt me every night?
You make me never want to close my eyes
I can’t believe the impact you’ve made in such short time
And I still don’t understand why your face continues to haunt my mind
Will I ever move on? Will I ever face reality?
That the concept of you and I only exists in this fantasy
I can’t possibly know what you’re going through, I can’t comprehend
but I still find ways to make myself believe that I understand
I can’t make myself give up on everything we worked for
I can’t see pass the smoke in front of me
The ashes of a burning bridge are all I have left
The past is dead and there’s no one to blame but me
but these memories mean too much to me
for me to ever let you go
Despite my wasted attempts, I let this come to an end
I see your face in all these picture frames
If I could turn back time, if I could just rewind
I’d save you from the person I became
