Sea Of Faces


Tears of sorrow Pain & Dismay Make up...this ever consuming Oceans Rage I try to keep my head up but it’s locked Inside this Rusty Cage. So Hard to keep this Ocean of Emotion at Bay Its Causing this Distortion that you on My Face. From all this dead weight Knowing the world you live in and the one that I are Not the same. You Are like the sheep led to the slaughter as do these mindless Drones in chains do the same. With each link that rattles and bounds It represents the PRIDE, EGO & IGNORANCE that caused you a different fate. Since birth I was different I know I'm Not the same. It brought good and bad fortune but my decisions played a part in what made it that way. But Sooner or later It just may take What's left of this life Ive been raped Cant revive or change my fate From Thoughts of what happiness made To what lies and ego began to take They Where Endless and impossible to shake I just Hope it comes Swiftly this time cuz I cant wait Truth be told I've already excepted my fate. I Just keep Swimming ” No matter how long it takes.” To the vast Beyond unto the point in which I break. From the mental & verbal abuse & all that is meant to break I take I'm Stripped of Pride, Peace & Rest But this one takes the cake You're so fake When ya cast the blame? Change starts with you stand up for My Name Cause at the end of the day it's yours to just the same. My heart trembles security deprived as I begin to break Like my Heart to my knees and mind it shakes Cant shake it off my shoulders like flakes As my heart in my hands With my mistakes Fight like there’s No tomorrow like my families life’s at stake Passed the point of No Return & the worst heart break. Even my last breathe it takes. Cause I long for something real in world so fake. There’s to much at stake Idk how much more I could take. Yet must remain Brave and Cast my sail to catch the winds of change. To find new Fire with an everlasting Flame Because mine burned out lighting yours every day I see the picture with this New Frame But inside you're stil the same Not much really changed - Lyrics by Joe Lilley. That's Me.
