I have been waiting
All my life
not easy
I don’t know where you’re
Going to come from
I have been hoping
For a soul to save my life
For the first time
In my life
I feel alive
And all alone
And I'm all alone
At first I couldn’t breath
Then out of nowhere
I felt utter relief
For the first long while
I believed but I
Was in denial
And as time went on
I found myself
In the place that I belonged
Yet I’m all alone
Maybe it’s time I make my peace
With the lonely state
And the fact
That Misery loves company
That’s where I’m at
It’s a matter of fact
I can’t seem to force
Myself back on track
At first I couldn’t breath
Then out of nowhere
I felt utter relief
For the first long while
I believed but I
Was in denial
And as time went on
I found myself
In the place that I belonged
Yet I’m all alone
I want you to know
That this was not a giant leap
For me
It took so much work
To finally see what
lies within the deep
Now I trust in myself
How could I possibly
Trust someone else
At first I couldn’t breath
Then out of nowhere
I felt utter relief
For the first long while
I believed but I
Was in denial
And as time went on
I found myself
In the place that I belonged
Yet I’m all alone
And I'm all alone

We’re boarding up
The windows (windows)
We’re locking
All the doors (doors)
We’re avoiding
all contact
That we knew before (scream)
Don’t bark
in my direction
Stay away from me (Scream)
For the next few years
No one will be free
You can share all your views
The very thing that
That caused our lives
To end Is not the viral issue
Causing all this strife
We’ve loaded all our
Weapons and we went
To war
Long before the they
Issues came the fore (scream)
I’ve have the option
Of taking something
I can tear away
your intoxication
I have a problem
Of taking something
I now feed off of
Your intoxication
Take out your opinions
Lay them on the floor
Then you’ll find the
that the problem
Isn’t just all air born
I’m hoping that you see
That we are the disease
You’re still counter productive
Just like me
Life in this pandemic
All of us in panic mode
Nothing in this world
Is free from those
From those who erode
To the bone
We’ve loaded all our
Weapons and we went
To war
Long before the the
Issues came the fore
I’ve have the option
Of taking something
I can tear away
your intoxication
I have a problem
Of taking something
I now feed off of
Your intoxication
This is our intoxication
This is this true addiction
What is this intoxication
What is my true addiction

We, the Forgotten

We, the forgotten
Take what you will
Take what you want
You’re over complicating
things
You’re a lot of noise
We won’t put up
With your blank
Complacent tendencies
Gross display of inefficiency
You’ve been given a task
That you don’t seem
To want to handle
They
The powers we trust
Have been told
They should forget us
Our hands are tied
Do we have
anywhere to turn to
We gave you so much
How could you just
Forget about us
We’ll take from you
We’ll take what we want
decisions impact
both of us
we’ll make a lot of noise
We’ll settle the all the scores
We’ve already lost out way
too much
No longer Will we accept Your Sub par efforts
No longer will We bend to your control Everyday we beg and plead
everyday we are let down by your thoughtless actions.
We the forgotten will take a stance to gain access to the solutions you so wilfully deprive us of.
All we do is give While you fill your Greedy pockets You’re time is up Our time is now
I won’t just sit back
And be controlled
By the likes of you
You
You’ve been given a task
That you don’t seem
To want to handle
They
The powers we trust
Have been told
They should forget us
We’ve untied our hands
No longer shackled
To demands
We free to choose
We are free to climb
The end of your power
The start of our time

Losing My Mind

Losing my mind
Every time I look around me
All I see is a mess
I’m trying fix this
Every time I pick up the pieces
Of what you’ve done
You’ve broken another one
I can’t keep on rebuilding
Relaying
I’m losing my mind trying to find
An easier compromise
I’m looking for a break
You’re another mistake
Indecision oblivion
I’m losing my mind
I’ve tried to do you a favour
Now your greed sick is inside me
I’ll accept the reckless behaviour
If you accept the hurt it causes me
Your greed is sick inside of me
I’ve taken care of you
As long as I can
It’s time for another plan
I’ll call all I know
I’ll put on a show
Cause I can take this
No longer

I put one foot in front of the other
I walk in through the building doors
I’m following the signs to the order
Today I get what I really want
Well I’m gunna take my pick
I lay my currency face down
As it indicated that I’m serious
This is no joking around
the craving fills my head
The coldness chases me
And I give in again
While I stand around with all the spoils
I’m wondering about this choice
Was this everything that I wanted
Or did I just
I won’t regret what I’ve done to this point
I won’t let it melt away
I’ve been wanted this for ages
I can’t let it be a mess
At the end of the day
I got exactly what I wanted
It was never the same
But what did I expect from this
