I wont need any vice

I won't need any vice

All this time I've searched far and high could never find just what I need to fill this void inside

Had high hopes of finding it in all the right places

Family... Always a bust never any trust

Beyond crippled at the fear of rejection.

To bear my true thoughts

Scarier than death its self

Dads not truly an option never a high priority

Always daddy's little girl but a mirror image of mommy

Every weekend brought us closer but made his wounds deeper

Procrastination and an unfailable mind don't go so hand in hand

A life left waiting and a man with no motivation

A catastrophic equation to say the least

Friends seem to offer some comfort

Couldn't seem to lower the shield around my heart

Every time I let someone through it was just enough

to fall apart once they fled

wasted every good choice I made

Is there anything once they've all left

no relief for the troubles that rest on my soul

It seemed to me there was no beacon of hope

Not even a shore in my horizon

Find hope in faith through motivation

Seek growth and personal freedom

In these words that hold so much meaning

weaving a net to grasp you from relapsing.

Clinging to this feeling that I've found what I've been seeking

Forge through this land of treason, hand in hand, be my reason.
