Anything I accomplished is miniscule
I made a minute degree of mattering
I was that the kid in the corner
The one ready to get knocked out of existence
...

You’d think I’d want none of it after what I’ve been through
But I only want more, I can take a beating like no one else
All this dirt and crud thrown at my face
I merely wipe it off and continue on
...

It’s hardwired into our psyche
Don’t be mad if you fall from life
Even if you fall away many times its part of life
I would know, I’ve fallen and lost sight of everything
...

As he’s sitting down on the curb
Broken, tired of losing everything he has
He sits up and takes a deep breath
He thinks of all he’s lost of what he use to have
...

They comb the streets
Everyone sees them roaming
Looking for meaning or something to stand for
No future in sight only the present
...

My hearts on fire
Soon it’ll be ash, nothing left
If you don’t ever have that feeling, go and find it
I’d rather have my heart on fire for something
...

As I hit the walls in my life I get slowed down more and more
It’s a warzone in my head and I’m losing
It’s been weeks since I’ve won or had the feeling of being in control
I’m on my last urge to fight it off for any longer
...

Gone is being dismal
Gone is self doubt
Gone are the scares or creeps of life
I’m living now instead of dying
...

About to finish it strong
Carrying it to the end all the way
All the loose ends have been tied up
Success is inching closer and closer to me
...

I was lost out in the alleyway
Discarded, broken, on my last limb
I looked fine but inside I was hurting
I had the word lost burned in my heart
...

I hate that smile I have
That fake one when I lie
It tears me up and lets me down
I’m just digging a bigger hole for myself
...

It’s only killing us and costing us to much
There’s no benefits only body bags and torn tissue
Hearts are thrown out the window and made obsolete
Sense and sanity are causalities to it
...

There’s a place in your head
It’s were all your thoughts that don’t work
To crazy to make sense, roaming looking for reason
To different at the time or just not right
...

It’s the most complicated thing ever known
He goes on without sense of bearing of what is
Or what could become of his life
In fact he doesn’t know what has become of his life
...

As I’m skating down the sidewalk
Listening to my own skateboard
As it click clacks the lines in the sidewalk
I’m rolling through the city, through the night air
...

Life is not meant to be waited on
It’s meant to be taken advantage of
It’s a gift that shouldn’t be wasted or thrown away
Every breath we take is a display of a miracle happening
...

Like skyscrapers loom in the sky
My goals tower above me, dead eye staring at me
The pressure is ridiculous and I’m sick of it
These lofty goals are ruining me and I can’t reach them
...

Everything goes by so quick
There’s no stopping and no looking back
If you stay back your left in the dust, pondering
Surroundings speed by in a flash, breaking the barrier of sound
...

I saw her while I walked down the hallways
She seemed different from the other girls
No care in the world, a get lucky kind of girl
Like everything just glanced off her shoulders
...

On a desolate street named broken
One lone kid walks around lookin for a challenge
No one knows about him just some nobody they say
They all say he won’t last but the kid knows otherwise
...
