With your eyes constantly pouring concealed thunderstorms Do you even remember what it’s like not to squint through the blur? My soul is bled out upon the foundation you call perfection On the asphalt and cement you disguised as hard work My body has nothing left to offer your expectations After turning from good enough to being better than the rest How did we end up chasing the impossible? Being so scared of failure we **** ourselves for anything less than flawless. When did it all lose meaning? The fast paced world stealing away our time like we owed it something. I lost my passion to the critique of others. Forgot my name when I took someone else’s. I took a gun and shot my self. And a ghost rose to greet the world.

My soul is bled out upon the foundation you call perfection On the asphalt and cement you disguised as hard work My body has nothing left to offer your expectations After turning from good enough to being better than the rest How did we end up chasing the impossible? Being so scared of failure we **** ourselves for anything less than flawless. When did it all lose meaning? The fast paced world stealing away our time like we owed it something. I lost my passion to the critique of others. Forgot my name when I took someone else’s. I took a gun and shot my self. And a ghost rose to greet the world.
