How did I become
The one to put the blame on?
I've been trapped in the dark
Trying to seem strong
But I'm staring at
The ashes of a flame
That's long gone
Feeling sorry for yourself
Can't last forever
And it usually leads away from better
And I'm untethered lately
Wishing so bad that I had
Something to follow
But I'm caring for
My work more than my health
And it's showing
I sat down on the ground
And I cried my eyes out
It gets old after awhile
I got up, I started
I started taking my time
I'm fine but I'll need to
Take a step back, rewind
My minds fried, how do I
Untie my restraints, I'm faint
From the lack of heartbreak
I've suffered a few good blows
But ultimately I'm the one
Who gives those
Learning to cope from
All this emotion
My eyes are wet
I'm getting sick of it
And please don't leave just yet
I'm moving past this stale regret
I'm tearing through
The seams that hold my memories
I pray they don't betray me
