I've burnt-out a lifetime,
Soaking in the lagoon of my sweat.
Celebrated everyone around me as my lifeline;
Yet they proved me wrong again, and again.
My head spun as I slowly risen,
Always expected it to be different.
Always considered people around me as "my prize";
But the one thing I've never been before is wise.
Perpetually bluffing myself left,
My body always threw me off track.
Swerving around to the side; I thought right;
Always rushed into white lights that would just turn black.
Living by other people's creed never did me much good,
Their advices swam in my head like hostile parasites.
Chanelling me to do what they think I should;
While everyone turned out to be narrow as the days became the nights.
I've grown to find it in my power to propel myself through the sh*t,
Even as my heart wore out, I still fought the fight,
Even as my universe fell down deep in that pit,
Even as my tenebrosity ate most of my light.
Soaking in the lagoon of my sweat.
Celebrated everyone around me as my lifeline;
Yet they proved me wrong again, and again.
My head spun as I slowly risen,
Always expected it to be different.
Always considered people around me as "my prize";
But the one thing I've never been before is wise.
Perpetually bluffing myself left,
My body always threw me off track.
Swerving around to the side; I thought right;
Always rushed into white lights that would just turn black.
Living by other people's creed never did me much good,
Their advices swam in my head like hostile parasites.
Chanelling me to do what they think I should;
While everyone turned out to be narrow as the days became the nights.
I've grown to find it in my power to propel myself through the sh*t,
Even as my heart wore out, I still fought the fight,
Even as my universe fell down deep in that pit,
Even as my tenebrosity ate most of my light.
