Defeatist

Restless nights

Countless tears have been enough

On my knees, broken down

“Don’t give up” sounds to me like bitter words

Bereft of meaning

They’ll break your heart

Sounds easy enough

You are the victim of your own demise

Just take a breath and look yourself in the mirror

What do you see? A shattered soul, fighting demons

Well, look around and get in line

You’re not that special and that’s for a fact

No one is coming to save you

Self-pity will hang you and relish your failure

Give in, life will drag you down

Sometimes to win you need to fail

Roll the dice

Depressed and beaten down by your feelings

Wipe the tears you fool and admit it

Licking your wounds, no shame

Why won’t you just give in?

Remorse is for the dead

Stand up and face your Gods

Rise to fall again, I feel your pain

Watchful eyes are sizing you

Every opinion carving through

Just be honest with yourself

The grimmest lie starts with you

So give in, life will drag you down

Sometimes to live you need to die

Like a phoenix, ready to burn the past

And fly high above the ash

No one is coming to save you

No one is coming to help you

Nobody cares if you survive

You’re all you’ve fucking got

What the fuck did you think

You’d achieve by letting go?
