Its in this state of mind
I know it's hard to remind
myself to draw the lines
and watch the time
as long as I fall in line
they'll pay me no mind
just linger, refuse to shine
blacken and soot my soul
submit myself to their control
continue living by paying the toll
all we wanted was what they stole
keep bleeding to meet their goal
no one questions truth in this hell-hole
this isn't living it's existing without purpose
being held under struggling to surface
constantly being told you're worthless
mentally questioning what life's worth is
if this is my life and you say i deserve this
then eventually I'll find a way to desert it.
