Goggins

She had so much to tell
but not a thing to say
They said "we hope you're doin well"
as she cut her teeth into the day
Pounded on by confounded fools
with neurotic oppressing ties
Beaten down by the Golden Rule
defending all true blessed lies
Hate to see you bound by conditions of those
with the breadfan & no life
Do your best, never test the restrictions,
why does your mother keep calling?

Take a chance if you want to
& leave their world behind
Chalk 'em up as nothing more
than Goggins on your mind
Watch out if you feel them crawling
up & down your spine
Make a stand if you want to crush
the Goggins of your mind

600 misguided miles of self-loathing diaries
Estranged doctor files
& pills prolonging misery
Months & months went by no one could figure out
What made her sulk & cry
& what on earth she's thinkin 'bout
She'd gone hunting for affection
with delusions in search of prize
He begged
"I already have a reflection, must you persist in stalking?"

Let him go if you want to stop wasting all your time
Don't fall prey
unto the Goggins of your mind
Break away if you feel the need
to leave it all behind
Take a stand & wash your hands
of Goggins in your mind

Nightmares & voices & mood swings no choice,
is it you, is it me, or something I can't see?
What is the reason for this soul of treason,
why do yourself in this way?

Just barely 5 feet tall,
prayed for the worst to pass
Ridiculed he'd heard it all,
never chosen, never asked
Sorting through the medicine
when in walked his old man
Said "I got something for ya"
& kicked him in the can
"Now you can run if you want to
but I doubt you will get far
You gotta take it to the root of
all your fears & scars
Take a break when you find
you're losing all your cool & rhyme
You're only being taunted by the Goggins in your mind"

Take a chance if you want to
& feel free anytime
To chalk 'em up as nothing more
than feelings so unkind
Break it down if you see the wall
is way too high to climb
Here's your chance to split the skulls
of Goggins in your mind
