The Act of Self Loathing

When this world turns its back on you
Remember who it was that had your back from the start.
Will those men hold you up or will they cower in fear?
I know Its a hard thing to swallow,
But the tough times bring out the best and worst in men...they brought out the worst in me
I caved under pressure
This world got the best of me
I was Left all alone
No home, no job, not even family
I turned to the bottle
Downing spirits in hopes to lift mine
But nothing could fill that void of hatred and disgust that I had with myself
I was lost and so alone
Will something or someone guide me home?
There is nothing left for me
Only these chains of mediocrity
They had their grasp on me
Its getting harder and harder just to breath
I was the only one to blame
But I didnt love myself to end the pain
THIS LIFE
WILL IT EVER GET EASIER?!
THIS PAIN
WILL IT EVER STOP?!
THIS WORLD
GOT THE BEST OF ME
TOUGH TIMES
BRING OUT THE BEST AND WORST IN MEN
I cant go on living this way
I hate myself. I hate the person that I have become. From the girls Ive used, the drugs abused, the things Ive said and done. I cant go on

We are broken and battered men
Torn apart by this world
From the inside out
Everyone is lost
We are just searching
for the answers that will never come
When did this world turn cold
(Ive wrapped my head around this a thousand times; )
I want to feel
the warmth of the sun
(I just want to feel something)
NO HOME NO HOME
JUST A BROKEN MAN
WHOS HEART HAS TURNED TO STONE
IVE RELIED FAR TOO MUCH ON HUMANITY
WHAT HAS THIS WORLD
EVER DONE FOR ME?! (X 2)
Ive done my time without selling
But something always fills my heart with doubt
When will it be time for me
To unchain my destiny
I just cant help but to think that
All of my dreams are just expanding
And the world is always standing in my way
This world is so cold
And I just want to feel
the warmth of the sun
The warmth of the sun
Steady hearts
With stable minds
Will never truly ale you
In this test of time
We are all just
Living to die
Born face first
With lights in our eyes
But this world
Is so cold
i havent seen that damned light
Since I was eighteen years old
This is my Correction course
Towards infinity
This is My path, my life
This is my destiny

Letdowns and Bad Habits

Im sorry that my life isnt the life you had planned for me
Im so sorry...
Its so hard to make sense of who i am
Because looking back all I ever wanted
Was to be accepted for the things I achieved and the goals I had set
For myself and only myself.
I always wanted to be just like you
But your absence in my adolescence taught me how to lay the footprints of my own bright future.
Still, Id be lying if I said that I didnt want you to be proud of me.
But Maybe I did something?
Maybe I pushed you away?
I just dont know anymore
I...I just want my childhood back
I just want to hear that youre proud of the choices Ive made
And the steps that Ive taken
To make my own destiny
A destiny that should be so fulfilling
And yet, I still have such a big, empty hole in my heart that I relied on you to mend: That I relied on you to fill...
I just cant go on pretending to be something that Im not
Im just so tired of living to your standards of letdowns and bad habits
This is not how a family is supposed to be
Break the chains
That bind you to negativity
Break the chains
That bind you to mediocrity
Break the chains

"She was only 54, a wife and a mother of 3.
She wore a fake smile on her face to disguise that she was unhappy.
But no one would know about the pain that resided in her bones.
No one would know the pain kept her awake at night.
your body is crumbling.
I know your hands are shaking
Im here selfishly pleading, mother be strong for me
I cant help, But to think
That this isnt somehow my fault
Your decline began when my lungs took their first breath
You a showed me how to stand tall
You taught me how to be strong
And as I watch those doctors rip skin from bone
Your heart only grew tenfold.
We always rely on
Comfort that we thought was free
(we thought was free)
All in all
Together we will be set free
(Mother be strong for me)
I never told you how much I love you
I never told you how much I care
I took the time we had for granted
And the time I wasted we're never getting back
I havent seen you in five years
And everyday is a constant struggle
How can you accept this as your calling?
How can you accept this as your cross to bear?
I cant accept that
If there is a meaning behind all of this
I just dont see it anymore
So God, if you are listening
Take the pain away
take it all away
When will she be set free
We always rely on
Comfort that we thought was free
(we thought was free)
All in all
Together we will be set free
(Mother be strong for me)
