Torn

written by: OurSacredHonor

Cuz I'm torn
Stress and unrest
I'm torn
My heart splits apart
I'm torn
Between the knife and my life
I'm torn
Scorn is born and
I'm torn

Heartbeat ceases
Shredded to pieces
And I'm losing myself
Among everyone else

One too many times I've been here before
The pressure's too much, I'm collapsing in my core
And as my heart caves in
I realize I can't win
Only when I pull myself together
Can I first begin

The sum of my parts don't complete my soul
I need something more someone to make me whole
I don't know where I'm going, only where I've been
And even if I had the chance I'd do it all the same again

I ask myself time and again "am I doing this right?"
Cuz I think and I want and I feel too much all alone late at night

I'm confused and I'm clueless
I fear there's something I have missed
It's our own lives
that we should mourn

Living isn't as simple as being able to breath
So we love, we hate, we fear, we feel,
but we're not real
Just cuz we bleed

As I lie torn between want and need
I'll rebel against the world but be consumed by greed
It seems to me our society has got our back up against the wall
Or to put it even simpler, "dived we shall fall"
