truths told hesitantly
persuade none
lies told bravely
convince all

All this time I have been working
To craft the toughest
Most impregnable armor
To fight my battles
I have lost plenty of times
But I have won so much more
Thanks to the strength I have forged
but now...
My battles are such that...
Rigidity
Brute strength
and Unwavering Intellect
are no longer enough...
How do I let go?
of the exterior that has served me so well
but is now holding me back?
How do stop trying to force my way to enlightenment
and instead
Be receptive to the power that is greater than myself?

Curse those that jump into a kitty pool
And now believe they can walk on water
Such shallow minds with deeply rooted delusions
That only serve to drag those that see the beauty and profundity of the deep blue brine
into a black abyss of darkness and dubiety
Cause after all...
Who is to say
who is standing where?
Beware the false messiah

Those that shouldn't say anything
Always have everything to say

You can give someone the world
Only for them to destroy yours

They'll say they're all ears
but never close their mouths

It's funny how things work sometimes...
Or rather,
It's funny how things don't work sometimes...

I don't feel fine in this place...
I feel confined to this space...
I don't feel fine in this place...

My thoughts in my mind's been displaced
I can't describe how it tastes
or all of the time that it takes
to get myself out of this race
I don't feel fine in this place...

She said that I'll be okay, but...
I listen to the words she don't say, cause...
that's where all her true feelings stay
I'm in an emotional state
But not cause it's been a bad day, nah...
keeping my balance to stay, calm...
One wrong step and you blast like a ******
All the commotion makes me wanna take off...

Would it be better to go or to stay?
I don't feel fine in this place...
