Albatross

I recoil from the spectacle that I've become
Trading confidence for alcohol & Librium
There's an asterisk
On my temperament

Echos from the past can be an ugly artifact
Stoking fire in this vitriolic rattletrap
Why's my saving grace
Burying its face?

All the fruitless hours wasted tearing up the soil
Searching for what nourishes this toxic rationale
Is it worth it
Laying bare that nerve

Somebody down the line
Scorn the honor of a lifetime
Unwitting catalyst of my decline
And my decay
The albatross is rattling it's cage

All the fruitless hours wasted tearing up the soil
Searching for what nourishes this toxic rationale
Is it worth it
Laying bare that nerve

Somebody down the line
Scorn the honor of a lifetime
Unwitting catalyst of my decline
And my decay
The albatross is rattling it's cage
