Relapse
You ever convinced yourself?
Ever held back your thoughts,
Took time to weigh your self-worth?
It doesn?t take much to tip that scale.
Your thoughts for a penny, that?s pretty damn heavy.
You ever paid full price for a seat, but only needed the edge?
Like a roller coaster, your in for a ride.
And this time, It?s your life.
One turn,
You?re begging not to hear the next crack of the whip.
Take a dive,
Then you?re on the floor begging for 5 more lashings.
You ever been kissed and knew it was your last?
You ever tasted the Steal beneath your teeth?
All you do is lick the blade till it runs red.
I?ve been there.
Have you Ever considered ending your eyesight?
May be then you could see just how cruel things are.
I traced back the old trails, I've walked the sands of time.
I?ve seen a snake that can smile.
I've met a cancer victim who only thinks of the future.
You could show me a total lack of confidence.
And I?ll cry before my own reflection.
Imagine carrying the weight of your own shadow.
Dragging it behind you, dragging it through your past.
It does shape who we are.
A path we walk a path we leave,
They?re all just tales or tragedy.
Joy in are lives, that one thing we all seek.
Truly said and falsely revered;
Happiness lasts forever, in memory,
But it is forgotten in a lifetime.
