Failing Composure
Traversing my mind
I hate some of what I find
The faults i try to hide
Conflictions with what I am
And what society
Decided all should be
Lose ground
Don't recover til I'm routed by this
Sinking
Hit the bottom before I can surface
Retreat
Put up the walls
Defeat
Battle lost
The war unresolved
The burdens that I carry
Some caused by myself
None within control
I raise a blade to parry
Against the charging line
Still I go down wounded
Knowing the blame is mine
Failing composure strikes
The scars open again
From fights I could not win
Endless reminders of
A loveless way to love
And shame I'm not above
The shame I'm not above
The shame I'm not above
Lose ground
Don't recover til I'm routed by this
Sinking
Hit the bottom before I can surface
Retreat
Put up the walls
Defeat
Battle lost
The war unresolved
The burdens that I carry
Some caused by myself
None within control
I raise a blade to parry
Against the charging line
Still I go down wounded
Beyond my flawed design
I struggle til I break confines
The burdens that I carry
Some caused by myself
None within control
I raise a blade to parry
Against the charging line
Still I go down wounded
I hate some of what I find
The faults i try to hide
Conflictions with what I am
And what society
Decided all should be
Lose ground
Don't recover til I'm routed by this
Sinking
Hit the bottom before I can surface
Retreat
Put up the walls
Defeat
Battle lost
The war unresolved
The burdens that I carry
Some caused by myself
None within control
I raise a blade to parry
Against the charging line
Still I go down wounded
Knowing the blame is mine
Failing composure strikes
The scars open again
From fights I could not win
Endless reminders of
A loveless way to love
And shame I'm not above
The shame I'm not above
The shame I'm not above
Lose ground
Don't recover til I'm routed by this
Sinking
Hit the bottom before I can surface
Retreat
Put up the walls
Defeat
Battle lost
The war unresolved
The burdens that I carry
Some caused by myself
None within control
I raise a blade to parry
Against the charging line
Still I go down wounded
Beyond my flawed design
I struggle til I break confines
The burdens that I carry
Some caused by myself
None within control
I raise a blade to parry
Against the charging line
Still I go down wounded
