It Ain't Like That

There I was, laid out on a table

Screaming sweat and bare feet to the floor

In my life, I'd not soften

Things that cut and burn so often

But I sit, think of something

Scared to face the dying nothing

See the cycle I've waited for

It ain't like that anymore

Where I go is when I feel I'm able

How I fight is why I'm feeling sore

In my mind, not forgotten

Feel as though a tooth were rotten

Behind the smile, a tongue that's slipping

Buzzards cry when flesh is ripping

See the cycle I've waited for

It ain't like that anymore

Here I sit writing on the paper

Trying to make up words you can't ignore

In my eyes, what I'm lacking

Score at face, a ten for slacking

Sign the deal, set in motion

Smaller fish, so huge the ocean

See the cycle I've waited for

It ain't like that anymore

See the cycle I've waited for

It ain't like that anymore
