Numbing tasks pass the time

Stuck in the prison behind my eyes

I've got nothing left to give

Lonely isnt a strong enough adjective

Feeling like a weak man

Mind full of inanity

Sad to say I wouldn't be here Without the small silver of humanity

I promise I dont do it for attention

But I do love all of you for the subvention

Trying to put these words down to help your comprehension

It's more than just a portion

When she looked me in the eye
straight faced and said

" I shouldve had an abortion"

Take the leap from grace

Hit me in the gut, scream in this space

Must be my father, you can see in my face

Dont see her for weeks at a time

Had to stay alive

Stealing butter and bread
To keep my sister fed

Sick of telling her to drink some water and go to bed

Brother moved in after nearly dying in the hospital

Now shes home every day

Putting on a show making him think everything is okay

Its Like an act out of Broadway

I told him about the days and the nights

He promised me everything would be alright

This is only a small piece of my life

Of the things that have become obstructive

Call me self destructive

Slay me for my sins

Where were you when I was being torn by the limbs
