Keyhole

No one said that any of this was going to be so easy
it was just a lie I sang to myself.
it only gets harder with every passing day
watch the sun rise through a window
the size of a keyhole to a door that wont be opened
a cross that's not mine holding me back
those bleeding hearts
keep me pinned to the ground
This world was meant to keep us on our knees
told to be grateful for what's given but never given a chance
its all we ever wanted
my mind is a weapon I've kept tucked away
but now my emotions got the best of me
My hearts starts beating like a drum
legs turned to concrete no place to run
frustrations got me by the front of my shirt
my mouth is the barrel to a gun
climb to my feet throw my arms in the air
(fire away) the bullets say i dare you
I dare you to go on with life this way
couldn't go another day
I made my way out
the key to the door was breaking it down

.

Against The Wall

Its always going to be this way
some things will never change
the choices that we make
and the decisions that we've made
too old to be naive too young to know anything
and this burden is ours well be held accountable
for everyone of these days
our actions could build monuments to what we achieve
but these days they bring nothing, nothing but rain
and everything we built gets washed away
but all the promise we have is still here
sitting there blank stare swallow the knot in your throat
and i hope we can stop our selfish ways
standing here clenched fist spitting words for you to hear
and its only one question that i have to ask
have you beaten the path or has the path beaten you
has beaten you has it left you empty are you still
searching for something real the joy and the sadness
the truth for as ugly as it appears like the feelings
you got when you lost someone you loved was it too much
and when the skies clear out their words meant nothing
when the storm is over is anyone here
I gotta believe
I gotta believe there's something
something more than what's been shown than what's been given
but its up to us to find it
get it through your head
I don't care how hard you swing that hammer
sometimes it wont make a dent
