Blame it on the system
That never helped those within
Blame it on the depression
That furthers a spiritual recession
Blame it on those around me
That ignore, deciding not to see
Blame it on the one at the center
That ignores the cold in winter
The blame rests on my back
The blame rests on all I lack
The blame rests there till I crack
The blame so restless a heart attack
As I fall into an abyss thoughts turn black
Hard fought steps forward just to fall back
The last call back as I step right off the track
Stand tall even as I sink into the depth lost in cracks
Cracks like valleys and in valleys a kindness
Escape from happiness and all that brightness
Lights so painful to my shadowed eyes
Fights and spite my dark outcries
Lost in the shadow of the valley
The fire of rage snuffed nothing to rally
Acceptance of blame so biased is folly
Is there any blame out there really
The blame dies in my thoughts
The blame dies in my throat
The blame is just a frame caught
Snapped and shuttered shot
Nothing to blame when nothings wrong
Bad break after bad break nothing wrong
Abandoned by those close, nothing wrong
Expectations and high hopes somethings wrong
Assumptions of happiness and fulfillment
Consumption of giddiness and achievement
Got me dying of consumption
Lost in my own assumption
Get ****** over get put down doesn't matter
Bad luck but I still get up and it doesn't matter
Dont deserve any of it not the enemies not the hate it dont matter
Don't deserve any of it not the friends not the love it dont matter
I could die sad and alone completely undeserved
Or surrounded by those closest completely undeserved
I deserve nothing and if I get everything its completely deserved
For all my work to die in a gutter or a home is what I deserve
