Unheard

Walking the same streets over and over

With no guidance to point my feet

Looking in mirrors to see my face distorted

Is there no end to my self-defeat?

I clench fist

I'm done with this

Tear the serpent from my spine

I'm confessing everything

I'm calling out what I see

I see the world in constant ruin

Tongues of disgust much too fluent

Our impressionable youth is watching the world burn

I am only one man fighting with my own hands

Out of the darkness so listen and understand

That if we stand up and speak as one

Then maybe one day we will see the rising sun

This is your life

But tell me what are you living for?

Selling more than the blood flowing through your veins

Don't tell me that you can't fight through this

When you never even asked to be alive

You never had to be alive

Unbreakable shackles

Holding you back

Constantly pushing back the knife that grazes your neck

Everyday you awake in panic

And claim to sleep untrue

I can hear your beckoning go unheard, so my friend

Let me ask you

What if I just fell apart?

What if I just slipped away?

What if the last breath left your lungs?

What if it all just ends today?

I pray and pray so God

Hear me now I've finally made my choice

All I want is to reach out and tell them

But what if they never hear my voice?

What if I just fell apart?

What if I just slipped away?

What if the last breath left your lungs?

What if it all just ends today?

I pray and pray so God

Hear me now I've finally made my choice

All I want is to reach out and tell them

But what if they never hear my voice?

All of the lust that fooled my flesh

All of the bullshit that fills my ears

All of the hatred that spills my blood

Just take this all away

Think of all the years you've spent

Before the last breath leaves your lungs

Think of all the words you could say

What if they never hear your voice?
