let me ask a question
when your laying in bed at night beneath the covers on the brink of sleep
do you ever just stop and wonder why ?
why did you get up did you get up this morning ?
go to school ?
why should i do anything, but stay in bed and sleep ?
if you were me would you ? get up and fight ? why ?
with all the SHIT ! you've been through and you think you reach the end and look around and nothing's changed,
what's the point of getting up in the morning and dealing with those kids and risk the disappointment of another failure
the barbed words from your classmates
when the world becomes a battleground and life the war the school the trenches what makes you get up and fight ?
when even at home you are made to feel like a slave to the world
where you crawl through the wasteland of your own mind and follow the x on the treasure map, made of the hope you have built to keep yourself sane
but someone beats you the the gold.
The end, the prize
and your left all alone with nothing but the memory of all you've given up the reach this point as your only prize
this is it
my life as best i could tell and it's getting to the point.
Where I'M no longer the soldier in those trenches crawling in the mud, but a prisoner of war in my thoughts
captured by my own despair
Knowing the only way to escape is the cyanide pill hidden in my sleeve
A nectar to put me to sleep and hide me from the war and its terrible dictators
the monsters on either side
with this escape here
so easy as a breath I to have wonder why i'm still here
I ask you this.
what would you do ?
waging a war for all internaty
knowing that no matter the outcome you cannot win
the chain holding you too tight and prison to real
whats the point ?....
