There’s a terror in our soul.
For all the young as they grow old.
There’s pleasure taken from watching on as they slowly sink into the depth within our mind, deeper than any man can dive.
Was it necessary for commentary to watch them as they try to swim.
So here I am living and breathing another day.
Because this body it bares it scars, that I refuse to hideaway.
If you find yourself in doubt, don’t you ever feel so strayed.
What’s it like living life on a promise to only be let down?
Cause’ I can do more than relate.
There’s no award in this debate.
Lend a hand to another, call you my brother.
True amnesty on display.
Shed your canopy like cascades.
We’re over worked and underpaid.
Their money isn’t real, they make it as they please, to keep us on our knees.
Vampires of the modern day.
Is this the American way?
Brave men are those who fight.
Walk the road of dead end signs.
With guidance of the past.
Carry on into the vast.
