Lyrics

Yeah
Uh huh
Let's do it like this
The only thing I want more than happiness
Is to remove myself from the past
Clear the path that I've traveled and logs lifted
Forget the bonds that I've forged and love gifted
And make it seem like I never existed
Forget the memories of all those I hold dearly
And contributions I made for them so maybe they can
Move freely and see clearly
Uninfluenced from this decision of the love that I left in ruins
My misery is nobody's fault but mine
See the choices were anointed but ambition left me disappointed
I made mistakes and for it all I will atone
You'll have your peace, I'll walk out and be all alone
I tried my best to keep it all together
Holding it up by the chains till my soul got strained, my shoulders caved
The only way for me to heal is to push those who love me all away
It's toxic, I acknowledge, that I deserve to be forgotten
Stop saying I'm a good man, clearly I'm not it
I'm nodding, to rhythm of my melancholy
This guilty feet stopped moving, this life stopped me
I'll finish what needs to be finished
There isn't a way forward from this
There's no sunrise riddled with bliss
Only a fist that rules everything done
Null and void, the swan song sung by an heartbroken voice
Yeah shit, I feel so lost?
Where do I go from here? What do I do now?
Damn, I don't know
What would my life be I never chose to do this?
Lived normal without the stress of how to pursue this?
The years I spent to trying hone the craft
Replaced with getting a normal job and just living free from
The stress that seems to go with this
Away from the socials, lowkey how I wished that I could be
My thoughts are scattered so I pop pills to sleep instead
Hoping to restore a little peace in my head
But every time I close my eyes, I hear my demons creep by my bed
They whispering my all failures and all my short comings
So I resorted to running but it was one step behind
The prints were aligned, hard to tell which one was mine
I set it with apart with an upright pride
But when I saw the cause of the fall
That same step was my decline
Maybe that's why they ever checked if I was okay
Maybe I made you to believe with my ability
That I could withstand the storm
From both sides of the spectrum
Until it halted the spirits momentum, I'm truly sorry
I couldn't live up to all of your musts
I broke the code and made you look at me in disgust
How could I be person in whom you placed your trust
How could I be the half in what you thought was us
A garden of shame, no peace bloomed in mind
Now's the end, this is my goodbye
But fuck that!
If I have to be the one to fall
I'll gladly take it because I always find a way to bounce back
I stack every thing upon my shoulders
Till I learn to stand with the pain
In rage I made my pact
And that's never let someone get close
To the place where my emotions can be ripped open
Can't deny that I'm hoping for one person to save me
But I know that she won't, I'm the definition of crazy
Maybe, this is what's truly meant for me
An everlasting infamy, falling apart repeatedly
Honestly can't deny that I still feel ashamed
Feels like I should've done more considering my age
I banked everything on dreams and nothing was gained
I loaned from hate with no other way to repay
A darkened day, till I caught sight of the flame
The cinders presence bestowed theses embers blessings
So, our father, who art in heaven
I'm not ashamed to ask for guidance at twenty seven
Lived in deep depression when I lost direction
Failure's the only thing I seem to be perfecting
But now I'm given a chance at redemption, I won't waste it
And uphill climb, I promise I'm gonna chase it
Problems I'm facing, I never truly over came
I inhale disdain as I walk forward like Bane
Still haunted by the potential that so many saw
That I never lived up to, I can show you the scars
That's why I'm still going, fueled by what I am not
And for my fucking sanity, I should probably stop
My story's supposed to end with my failure
An unhappy ending, yet I'm still going every rhyme is ascending
I've burnt these pages, conclusion deleted and gone
So I'll continue the story of the path that I'm on, Retcon
