RAKE

Reading through the stories I've told
I see there is much under my skin
But it's not like there's nothing to gain
Not like there ain't nothing to learn
Overcome disorders
Defeat absurdities and find the cure

I've written of horrors, endured and seen
Fears realised, nightmares come alive
Regrets and rage, bad blood and hate
Resentment filling a river of tears

Decaying state of mind gnawing me inside
Their judgmental eyes feasting on my heart
Be fast and abandon this weak and fragile shell
Regain will to live and savor life again

In the end it's all what you make it to be.
A stageplay filled with tragics and comedies.
We all have our own unwritten roles to play.
Are you the lead or just part of the cast?

Decaying state of mind gnawing me inside
Their judgmental eyes feasting on my heart
Be fast and abandon this weak and fragile shell
Regain will to live and savor life again

Experience myself, fight through mud and blood
Grit my teeth and unburden my heart
Push ahead and ignite this everlasting night,
Shine bright in the darkness to keep myself alive

Decaying state of mind gnawing me inside
Their judgmental eyes feasting on my heart
Be fast and abandon this weak and fragile shell
Regain will to live and savor life again
