I waited for help, but no help ever came

As my bitterness leads me to my grave I was tired, no matter the rest

Just like the pressure I’ll feel when I’m dead

A man of reason, no matter how upset

Was it all for nothing, if only for this?

As my final moments loom overhead I am a frayed, shell of a man

As Mother Nature takes me in

And Father Time lets go of my hand

 

(This is all I am left with)

A sour pain in the back of my head

The force of fear of my faith in regret

Or the hope it could have been different

I will never know, never know

There’s a numbness in my face and hands

No voice for the frayed, shell of a man

But the feelings I’ll remember most

My bitterness, my only hope I will never know, never know

Never know Never know Never know

I have bent my truth to satisfy

The emptiness I hide behind

I am the frayed, shell of a man

With nothing in the end
