They say i am a man
But i I'm only human
Yes i am a man but
Still
I am only human.
I tell you
I am writhing in pain
My, limbs both shackled in chains,
I thought I'd celebrate
When society furnishes my name
Instead I'm filled with rage
And vengeance in my head
Society tricked me
Now I'm paying my debts
In regrets and pain
Society branded me a stain
A stranger in my own lane
Added to the most wanted
With a bounty on my head
If I'm gone
From their hearts I'll fade
Just a lingering memory
Of a leaf that took long to fall
Or that stench that no longer stales
My name will no longer be called
I'm like that fold that never gets
To be unfold
Just because society tricked me
In to thinking i was fighting for my sake
It's funny and ironical
To swim across the ocean
Only to drown in a lake
Somebody call i need to wake
I've waited for so long
Hoping to hear my wake up call
I'm tired of the empty threats
On my soul
Knowing my fate
Has always been my goal
Amidst a life that sees no
Foul!
