Selfless 03:27
The pressure to please society glooms the weak minded Yet fulfillment blooms for those who are kind hearted To be raised with the mindset, that mirrors everyone else Is just a metaphor for the pain of the belt How can we understand each other With the basis we know everything ourselves When our happiness collects dust, sitting up on the top shelf We grow from pain Living day to day With wool placed over carved out eyes, being left reality blind Honesty is dead, honestly we've been mislead The pressure to please society glooms the weak minded Yet fulfillment blooms for those who are kind hearted To be raised with the mindset, that mirrors everyone else Is just a metaphor for the pain of the belt We grow from pain Living day to day

Egotistic ignorance Self righteous innocence Pretentious abundance Youthful nonsense I see no colour with what remains of my eyes Just a world that's been left in black and white I see no colour Just black and white Without sane company, my mind consumes me Head in my hands is my only reward Brought to my knees, like leaves falling from forgotten trees All I do is plead, just to be ignored We all tell lies to benefit our own lives We're all shadows, born into the crowd I was born to fit in, but choose to stand out We're just shadows Eat away at my conscious Prove me to be obnoxious No regard for my surroundings Who I really was is truly astounding I refuse to wear the skin of the weak Just to hide everything I believe in Hiding behind closed doors, is just who I was before Now I have the capacity, to overcome anything Misrepresenting who I am, by reinventing what I'm resenting

Bone Work 02:51
We're never truly alone Yet we've had this ideology etched into our bones Is there room left to grow Anything left to show We experience our own perspective So called free to live Where loneliness is fueled by anger Raised as free willed kids But where do our dreams go? Do they reach as far as the stars? Do we lose our way into maturity? Where breathing is just continuity? And our souls are as dead as they can be Act as you've been shown Act like you've been told Freedom blown out of proportion, is just another act of extortion Act as you've been shown Act like you've been told Where we have to go, we've outgrown

Unrealistic expectations prove whole heartedly that I'm not ready for maturity Who I am differs from normal drastically, it's hard to please everybody equally Social normalcy, hangs tirelessly, weighing down my spine, proving reality is supposedly the right frame of mind Do we suffer differently, or when we cross paths, does pain last, beyond a point of secrecy Is acceptance really what I need, to be well paid and to be seen as a human that's made his name from a future that shows the choices I take or is that what means I've made a claim to fame Would success cause my eyes to bleed, as society tells me this is what I want and need But tirelessly, I've agreed to live with everything I see and ignore the pleas of what truly screams from inside me The screams for help and the angst that replaces the faces of everyone I meet, who just follow their feet Constantly crying in my sleep, trying to understand why i can't turn my dreams into something that feeds off the sadness I seem to excrete But I won't succumb to the crowd so easily, the choices I will make will ensure I have food on my plate But it's never too late to escape the hands that would break under the pressure of balancing a clean slate Crying in his sleep trying to understand his dreams

Cheapskate 03:44
We earn for the privilege to spend Making sure we keep up with today's trends Living just to impress so called friends To stop our sanity from hitting dead ends Hold your breath Play dead play dead All we have to do is ask for help But our pride says that's not enough Becoming self reliant Just to show that we're tough We should only have to focus on ourselves, instead of treading through hell, not to dwell on how we tell all these stories when we hit our forties screaming please please free me I wish I lived freely Please please free me I wish I lived freely Hold out your hand and reach for a guarantee you'll still smile when you turn forty three The past has passed yet memories last, would you be happy with the outcome that you spent your whole life working towards some materialistic reward, that you tried so hard to grasp Please please free me I wish I lived freely

Neglected 04:28
I've made mistakes That calls attention to the immaturity I display I can't remember the last time we've spoken I'm sweating, I'm choking I can't sleep, I can't sleep I can't comprehend my feelings My eyes are tearing, but I'm still breathing I know you haven't forgotten me, but suddenly, I'm not who I used to be You can look at me differently I'll keep showing you me But only what you want to see I'll watch everyone else grow I'll set the bar low That way you can be proud of someone I'll never know
