Testing Me

A great battle between my past and the present I came here to this stage to drop my words and vent. Repent, From my sins. So what? I gave in. Keep judging , not budging, thinking you're lies are gonna win And inside I am boiling and toiling, the line is getting thin. Working hard to keep cooled, I'm playing nice But ya keep testing me and next time I might not think twice To explode Reload And blast ya with the truth Was trying to keep ties But now they are coming loose You won't listen, you won't try You sit there like you know Then why do I cry? Say I'm cold and I'm changed Maybe I am, from all the pain Is all this hurting me fun and what is there to gain Keep pushing me away And even though you don't know it today You will and I promise regret your choices Later on in your ear, you'll hear the voices Its your mind nagging And bagging on the decision you made Try to push it away but the noise, it won't fade. So keep the turmoil raging inside Keep on the attack because you have something to hide How silly of me, to think in you I could confide Change of ways, darker days, and to you I am seeing a new side It is black and consumes No more blossoms, nothing blooms And my fire it burns, shut your mouth, no more turns Just keep quiet and listen as I spit out the fumes I am tired of this and of that My heart has taken a beating like blows from a bat Quit complaining and saying Things that you know couldn't be real Cus miles become feet and feet become inches And I am getting closer to showing you how I feel You once had a cover to keep you looking clean But now it is worn and it is starting to peel And as all of this happens, I pick up steam Moving on Moving forward Moving past Better hurry and get wise This offer just won't last Once I'm over the edge No I can't come back Can handle a bruise but watch out I might crack Think ya got what ya need but it's all going to lack The one thing The true meaning to this The purity and bliss Hope ya have fun cus that's what you'll miss.
