LEAVING ME BEHIND

LEAVING ME BEHIND

Time is flying by and leaving me behind
You couldn't admit you felt my heart breaking as you held my hand
I need to get out of here
But I have nowhere to go

Life was a breath of fresh air
Until you the sucked the life out of me
I want to hurt you like you hurt me
I'm your reckoning and your God

Feel me penetrate your soul
Take my hand, tell me what you feel
I need you to pay for your wrongs
I’m your judge, jury and executioner

PRETEND

PRETEND

Don’t pretend to know me
Don’t waste time judging me
You don’t know my path
How I got this jaded

I wear these scars like badges of honor
Unbreakable force of man
You can’t hurt me
I pity your kind

Don’t stand in my shadow
Don’t get in my way
You won’t like the outcome
How I get through the day

I silence these demons like a muzzle
Resilience is my companion
You won’t stop me
I know your routine

Don’t pretend to want me
You can’t wear this armor like I can
