Never Enough

I can't believe you are so careless, so weak, nobody gives a shit about your needs
I've risen up to see your face staring back at me
I never thought i would live to see the day when all your friends and family walk the other way
Aren't you ashamed when you look at all the things that you've done and all the pain that you create
What do i have to do to convince you
that there is more to you than you know
What the fuck have i done to you, do you even care if no one is there
I see the devil in your heart, and the hatred in my eyes
I want to crush your world into dust and leave you to rot.

Close the curtains and hide yourself instead of worrying you'll be a beast to someone else.
I never got the chance to meet the real you, the one without strength in what you do.
I can see, I'm not blind, fake smiles that you hide behind.
What is it that makes it so hard just to know who the fuck you are?
Maybe this is your wake up call, Drag yourself around like a ragged wind up doll.
Can't take all the feelings that you fake.
In my eyes this is something i won't take.
I stand by who i am, Judge me like i give a damn.
You don't know how to feel, take five seconds and just get real
All this makes my skin crawl and you just won't make things right, until life has become dull
and you won't pick yourself up when you fall.
You think this is the way? what are you hiding from? in this world today, its making you feel numb,
looking into yourself i know that this is hell,
Why are you so ashamed?
It's not too hard to be yourself.
Unshielded
You have become weak
Your curtain drops and we all see
It can't be found unless you seek
Just understand you won't be free

The things that I stand and call lust you turn around and call it love
Lost companionship for another, where will this take us
Looked down upon all the trust, but i will do what i must
We have reached our darkest hour, keeping thoughts inside your head
I can only speak how i feel, My patience is wearing thin
Lost hope all love is gone, My fight against this for what?
Bringing down the whole salacious corrupt and wrecked society
I will always be on my feet, This won't be the last of me
Self respect is all we have following the right path
No one and nothing will ever be perfect, but we owe it to ourselves to make the best of things
But we can not succeed with all the lying, denying
Is this our change?
Is this our dedication?
Is this our freedom?
Is this our procreations?
Screaming out for trust, It's Ignorance bury it and terminate
I would rather die if it meant taking the life you have worked so hard to build,
than letting you come and control mine.
Screaming out for trust, It's Ignorance bury it and terminate
Taste the tears running down my face
Every bead of sweat and blood i waste
That is what i work for everyday
The rest of you have chose to die in vain
If loyalty and dedication is all i have to my name then we will be fighting for the last of our days
Whats new in this wasteland we call the human race?
Nothing but disrespect, hatred and distrust.

Why don't you sit me down and tell me
what is right from wrong and all the damage that i cause.
Can i even go my own way? Do i have to be a slave?
All the things i say i know your not ashamed.
It comes in many forms through all the ways were raised
remember back to our better days when we were innocent and young
with no where to hide, and now theres no where to run.
Feeling so low but it helped my heart to grow.
Leading me by example and now i know, this life you chose for me
would give me no interest you just need to let me be.
I was always told in life there is right and wrong
and never have i let this keep me from being strong.
But when you put a price on things that you can't control,
it keeps you blinded from the things that matter the most.
Weighing yourself down from being controlled,
away from all the loves and happiness you could hold
I hope you know my reasons for growing up cold.
When i take a step back to watch all your words unfold.
I will never beg for you acceptance cause i know that i am a man who has
to guide himself through these harsh and dark times,
with the world on my back, and a knife deep in my side.
Im standing tall with my head held high and ill be damned if i let you tell me otherwise.
When I, I look back on the things i know that was owed
and you sent me down this cold and empty road.
Fill these empty hands, I wanna see you cross your line in the sand my friend
Walk free live the best you can be, these are the words i give to you from me.

Crossed out and clear grab my hand and let me show you whats near.
Ive fallen I'm helpless running through these quick and subtle days.
theres something I've been searching for but its still lost for me.
Grab my hand and i will pull you up I'm sick of seeing my brothers drown.
we will always stick together, along side one another
Cracking the concrete from the steps of our intensity.
fight back and never let them make you feel afraid intimidate you from your inner strength
that none of you will ever choose to see.
This is what I am.
as long as something is there to remind me that i won't be alone I stand up telling myself
I won't step back into thinking the worst has yet to come
This is what I am.
Take a hard look this is what you are
nothing more than a reminding scar
For all the pain you put me through
never again will i trust you.
Never again.

Looking around not believing what I'm seeing.
hoping that these eyes are deceiving.
Theres no possible for anyone could live with that choice
so I will speak my voice.
Don't break down on me now, I thought everything was fine.
and now your finding out that your choices have a consequence so here's you evidence
maybe next time you will think twice before you make the mistake of not owning your life
don't look to me I'm not the answer. I told you these habits would spread like cancer
seeing everything time and time again living a life i could never defend.
I would think you would want more for yourself.
leaving everything on the back of a shelf.
I can see the regret looking into your face never thinking you will crawl out of this place.
Now you care about the mistakes that you make.
Just step back and watch it all fade away.
Wake up and understand everyday has a new challenge, face to face with a new decision.
Will there be a fighting chance or suffer consequence.
I know this is not what you want to hear but its better than feeling all the fear.
Everything that was said I knew was a lie.
So now you need to change your life and live it right.
I won't be, I won't be a slave
You can't control me.
I know that you'll never care.
Wasting all your time hoping your in the clear.
Hang your head and know that you have failed.
Looking in the mirror at your broken self.
You can't control me.
I won't be a slave.
You can't control me.

False Kingdom

Ive seen what no one can see I know your not what you claim to be.
Fallen to the ground no strength to arise.
Try your luck by force feeding your lies.
wake me up and make sure that I come to the false kingdom you lead me through.
Break me down and show me just how it feels.
Let me know I'm out of control
Wasting your days spending all your time to make it seem like its all gonna be just fine.
Pick and choose what you wanna believe.
This is everything that you will deceive.
Im not gonna stand here and bow to your feet.
I know what I stand for.
Who do you think you are?
Get out of my life.
I know what I stand for.
Maybe I don't know how to heal.
I don't know if life is real.
I don't wanna be left here by myself
left alone with nothing to feel.
Maybe I don't know how to heal.
I don't know if life is real.
I don't wanna be left here by myself
with nothing to feel.
What do you want from me? To be someone i could never be.
Walk around through your perfect world dragging everyone down until they can't be found.
So blind I can't help believe you are nothing that you claim to be.
So blind i can't help believe nothing is as perfect as it seems.
Im never gonna loose my strength giving in to the weight of hate
Im never gonna loose my strength I know what I stand for.

You're living with your back against the wall.
Do you think everyone should feel sorry for you?
I don't care. You will never have a single thing that I could ever relate to.
Is it acceptable to be lied to?
Is it right to think that you can turn your back?
Because you can't be the man that you want to.
Ill never understand how you can live like that.
Please tell me what am I supposed to think?
When Im looking around at all these people and their carless fate.
What happened to caring for each other? and gripping that hand of what you call your brothers
This is a major lack of compassion I will never lets myself turn my back on the ones I love
Im better that Im stronger than all but you'll never see that.
When all you know and all you see are the things in life that you'll never be.
Are you sorry for what you are?
Are you sorry for what you'll be?
We had it all in the palm of our hand.
Don't look at me for pity.
You live the way that you want without a care now no one is here.
What did you expect?
Now your living in fear.
All I wanted was to help build confidence now you walk away and don't care about the guidance.
I hope you know I will never shed a tear.
Why do I even care?
Why do I let it get to me?
I know that I'm still here being the man that I wanted to be.
Im done being here.
Im done serving as your savior.
I know Im never looking back when everything falls through the cracks.
Is it acceptable to be lied to?
Is it right to think that you can turn your back?
Because you can't be the man that you want to.
Ill never understand how you can live like that.
Where has the hope and faith gone?
Where are those people we looked up to?
The only things that we have in common you'll never be like me I'll never be like you.
Ill never be like you.

Few and Far

The effort the strength, the loyalty that I gave,
my visions and decisions, the memories that I’ve made,
I hold this to my heart, no regrets no shame was made
But I’m still standing here struggling fighting with no fear.
Behind those eyes, I can see your fear,
your struggles your pain the feeling screaming your name
keep your head held high and stand up straight
in the end you will see this is the place you should be
this is all I have its all that I need
Something no one can see, believe, but purposely deceive
there are lives worth saving and some that can’t be saved
I will fight for what I always will believe
than let my fellow man become
another mouth to feed
you can’t take back all the decisions you make
but it’s a start to say that you can live to see another day
I am at a loss for words and I can’t describe how this took all my pain away
Through all my bad and good I always understood
This is my outlet and this is why I care
This is where I stand my mind is clear
back and forth on the fence that were always near
There is no room for being timid or weak
I will not ignore this and turn the other cheek
this is allI have its all that I need
Something no one can see, believe, but purposely deceive
there are lives worth saving and some, that can’t be saved
this is all I have.
this is all ill need.
this is all I have.
and this is all ill ever need.

What goes around will come around
It doesn’t matter how it all ends
My hand is not here for your reach
Because all you mother fuckers gave up on me
You think that you’re the king who was never crowned
because you held your head with the weight of being broken down
crippled from the pressures of fitting in
I don’t know who you are
I can see you make me sick
can’t have you in my life you drag me down
and steer me away from what is right
There’s no one, that I’ll ever need
So I can be like you and accept your defeat
I’m so sick of being bothered and lied to
now were at the crossroads and I’m here to destroy you
Back the fuck down, and know your fucking place
I’ll tell you once that you should get out of my face
I’m sick and tired of all these games you play
and this disgusting plague that you create
your ignorance has held you back
You are the broken man and you have nothing left but what is in your empty hands
walk it off if you think you can
walk amongst us with that shit eating grin.
What goes around will come around
It doesn’t matter how it all ends
My hand is not here for your reach
Because all your mother fuckers gave up on me.
