Taking the pills/numbing you out/Deep inhale hold exhale/blunting you

in a steady rout/to the latest bout of fingernails sounding the chaulkboard/Its hard to know the time is right/to let yourself come down and breathe/We come from nothing/made to fly toward the things that we want to see/Been down so long/feeling good feels wrong/In the middle of a crisis cuz' there's nothing going on/Still have the barbed words/an acid lashing tongue/Defenses which no longer serve and wreck your nerve/Its hard to know the time is right/to let yourself come down and breathe/We come from nothing/made to fly toward the things that we want to see/How does it feel to fly alone?/Green lights are on/now go ahead/make it on your own/Incremental progress/feels like waiting to die/but it's still progression in the right direction/A life built on baby-steps/toward salvation and validation/We Come from Nothing
