I am at the point of a unavoidable breaking
This life that overcomes my will and all I'm undertaking
And to say I've found neither solace nor peace would be a correct assumption
But you do not see me past your judgements and presumptions

I am at the point where I feel my heart about to shatter
Turning into grains of sand mixed with dreams that no longer matter
Yet you desire to see the smile that's actually a frown turned upside down
Just so I'll say "welcome home" as I act as the matt that you stomp to the ground

I am at the point of screaming at the top of my mind
Seeing the things that the world's forced me to leave behind
See all the mistakes and heartbreaks that litter the floor like shards of glass
Cutting me and dragging my consciousness back to the past

I am a tattered soul who is choking back the tears
Just to say hello and make it seem I have no fears
Being crushed under the pressure of the smile plastered on my face
Seen as no commodity, but only something that can be replaced

I am a rebirth waiting to happen that your eyes dare overlook
The page written by the hand of God that's unread because mankind closed the book
A tried and failed prototype that is this world's very own casualty
And yet it should fear the future, for it shall no overcome me...

Not today...
