Everyday's a maze, everyday like this with the words a say
And a thought like this rings



Everyday, like I can't get anything right,

every moment a struggle, pushing through rubble

Every step to find peace, I find a fight

Debri in my path, wreckage in my sight

Just want to step into something to strengthen me,

Ask to know my thoughts but I lie, dreaded unwillingly

Tactics on standby, I can't plan anything so strategically,

life mapped out on the edge of the earth, from birth,

a worth I seek pathetically, write a thought poetically

and  in a pattern so stoically I seem to feel so statically

but in the confines of my mind, I hide, and subside I just want to wind down and bide, feel bonefide, screamed and never cried, and in my heart something just died.



Tooken, stripped away the truth

Voices tethered wrapping in a soft threaded noose

Choking on the threads weighted by lead

Look inside and what do you find

look at this and don't know my kind

don't know my kind



And in the eye you can't see the deception



A single break from the day and I rest to find peace,

then covered again as the sun is unleashed,

pieced together the tandrum bits of my worry,

I know I shouldnt be but I run in a hurry

try to stand but no hands reach, give and get,

learn and teach, but I preach only as I simply leach, I fret

and when the solution is found a new one will breach

out from the depths and the repitition it met,

Passivley ignorable, implorable I seek

storable thougths break, it's so weak

just wanna stand and hold my head high

but I fall back into the sqame pattern, can't deny

and I shade my eyes from the despise, say I'm calm, can't read my eyes

BUt in the confines of my mind, I hide and subside I just want to wind dwon and hide, feel bonefide, screaqmed and never cried, but in my heart something just died
