Brother


You trust these girls with ur heart 
Then they crush it
Cuz we ve been here from the start 
Now u have to decide between 
Who is going to give u what u need
Based on what you've seen
The love you have for yourself is obvious indeed
you show us what you think you know
but have you ever placed yourself in my shoes
Feeling that you have left yourself behind 
Left to pick up the pieces 
Giving these people leases
To your heart because your confused of what you are
For fear of your thoughts to begin the raid
Ravage into you 
To make the lies,true
The devil has been around for a long time but does it mean he is also wise
To chastise,
these beings into a mortal state 
To where flight is made
Or the feeling to trade
Be someone else 
Who also lies to themselves to keep the smile constant
Transparent humanity is 
No one is somebody 
And Everyone is Everybody
Step into my frame
into a forever hell of work 
Open your arms to embrace your family
Their ability to lift you up even when you feel you don't exist
Or pissed
Hesitant to bounce back up from a hard fall
They push you forward because they are never gonna see you not give it your all
My father told me 
Don't let anyone take your heart
Because without that constant beat 
there would be no you or me
So think, its free
To hear your thoughts know your place and expand
Smile,laugh,enjoy,cry thees genuine feelings
Bands us together as people
Hiding your emotions is tearing away at you 
To rot 
To where think is just thought
