i was raised with faith and knew that the world was led by misguided men and to this day, i remain a sullen God fearing man no smiles upon my cheeks, frayed nerves dont tread on me i've felt the knives, i've seen the snakes this tall grass covers nothing but mistakes
you're not a fucking martyr you cant pay for my sins my heart is bare on my sleeves morals painted on my skin
you pegged me because I'm different because i think deeper than you you cant handle reality as fucking well as i do
your spirits slowly breaking back bends at depressions glare staring death in its face pretending you're numb and it isn't there
i pledge allegiance to the no good youth next generation of rejected means unbroken by life's hardships brothers in bond, straight and free
we're all drowning in a sea of hope and we tread water until we die but you cant kick anymore you stay afloat because you're empty inside bear your cross, state your claims say the world owes everything i've seen the truth, and heard your lies i know you are what i despise
