|
To defy or tranquilize |
|
Pretense to assimilate |
|
Normalized till accepted |
|
Caution falls to attrition |
|
Keep my head above the surface |
|
Holding on against the current |
|
Raise the glass to crown the heights |
|
To accelerate |
|
Inhale the easy answer |
|
The burning embers wait |
|
Traverse the gateway |
|
In a haze of smoke |
|
Hits to pills until |
|
No other way to cope |
|
Rendered Lifeless |
|
Keep my head above the surface |
|
Holding on against the current |
|
Rivers of toxins |
|
Dragged under and down |
|
Caught in a torrent |
|
Until they disappear |
|
Warnings fall on deaf ears |
|
Fractured lives slowly break |
|
Wounds and scars last for life |
|
Ruins left in their wake |
|
Repulsed by all that I see |
|
Waves break over me |
|
Everlasting loyalty |
|
Straight Edge in contrast |
|
To the conscious corpses |
|
That drift lifeless past |
|
Keep my head above the surface |
|
Straight edge against the current. |
