Vici


Th frustrations of life pin me to the ground

preventing me from rising up and reachng for the stars

but i refuse to give up or make a sound

it's like i'm drowning in a fire that's leaving nothing but scars

 

i feel trapped in my own haunted mind

like i own the key to this cage

but its the heavy lock that i cant find

because its hiding in the emotions and darkness that are blocked by the rage

 

i've made it this far so i cant back down now

theres only moving forward and never turning back

and we can come together and teach what we know

so we can break these chains and breathe in the happiness we lack

 

the uncertainty is an unspoken curse

mouthed by the demons clutching your heart

making us think it'll only get worse

and we all know that it's  tearing us apart

 

we've tried to make it through thick and through thin

but it's hard to tay happy when somethings amiss

we've faked the joy for so long i dont know where it begins

all i know is that there has to be more to life than just this

 

there's always a life lesson, and dont ever forget it

because this is the life you have, you only get one

shoot for the moon and live for the moment

becase in the end you'll love everything you've done
