My conscious is heavy My shoulders are slumped When I see my family My throat gets a lump I want to run Want to hide Want anything other than to be alive Stuck in this cycle Gone completely insane Wanting things different Without Wanting to change The shackles I bear Are shackles of shame Their chains are heavy They cause me great pain The battle I'm fighting Been fighting for years All out of fight And all out of tears Tired of fighting, getting nowhere All cried out Filled with fear Time to put down my armor Let my guard down Time to start over Since no ones around Pushed 'em all away While I rot and decay Want them to leave But want them to stay Why God? Am I this way?
