Declaration Of Independence

Bloodshot eyes hidden behind imprisoned bars My rusty shield corrupts, my faith begins to shake I’ve become the girl without a trace Heart shattered, sadness rains upon me Why cant I see the light they say shines above me The clouds never clear Though it seems a beautiful day is always here Shedding joy and laughter But inside sadness is just a never after A nightmare with the same aching pain for years I’ve became an emotional coward to face my fears What’s hard to believe is easier to deny The heart ache truth from that long crushed tide I can no longer stand it The same ripple of waves to destroy a race Another slap in the face Why do I feel that certain way towards a tide that will never reach my state Yet again another rejection with the friendly mace Saying goodbye to the hard times will never work The gazelle’s predator will always lurk My shield’s been broken by its predator emotion Gnawing off the outer shell I’ve never had token Cast my bets Courage looses my best guess To speak up To be heard among my casino opponents Hello fear. Hello doubts. Hello guilt. Just a show how competition’s built I guess when push comes to shove Maybe I need to put on my lucky leather glove Rely on divine The infinity of forever No longer depend on never And no longer grow weak by a tide that can’t make it past summer I’ll stand on my two feet Won’t ever face the cry of defeat Mark my territory Let the whole world know this girl’s story From ugly to beautiful Clumsy to forgetful Quiet to squeaky I’ve left loner’s circle on a new key A melody in which I’ve composed Something the whole world outta know I’ve started this journey brainwashed about a fairytale Like a dog forever chasing his tail Separated, now wiser with a stronger grasp of reality Sentence to a life of freedom, my dark days are finally finished Now its time to evolve my own Declaration of Independence
