Broken Foundation

Pain

Bashed to the floor

Ugly, inferior, helpless and worthless

A low self-image has been made

It's continuously reinforced

Barbed words that never leave the mind echo

And cripple from the inside

Wounds of self doubt bleed

Fear and tension

Built to fall from a broken foundation

Begging for forgiveness when no real wrong has been committed

Just to try to calm the rage before it degenerates into violence

There's no refuge

In what should be the refuge

When the wrong words ignite anger

There's no refuge

In what should be the refuge

When the wrong words ignite anger

Into frustration that can't be controlled

Stumbled, fractured through years of confusion

Now the direction's set

Your potential is finally realized

Rising as the embedded harm is slowly overcome

Bashed to the floor

Ugly, inferior, helpless and worthless

A low self image has been made

It's continuously reinforced

Barbed words that never leave the mind

Echo and cripple from the inside

Arise and build anew

Express release

Seize control

Express release

Reinvent

Arise and build anew
