Left Behind

written by: OurSacredHonor

Uh oh... I think I'm going crazy
The voices screaming "save me!"
Then I start thinking maybe
And what the hell's gonna happen to me if this becomes daily?

I don't think I can take this anymore
Working my ass off and wonderin' what for
Things I used to love now becoming a chore
This life of mine seems worse off now than it ever was before

I'm tired, run down, I can't stand on my feet
I want to runaway so bad but have no strength to retreat
Life, just like vultures circling me, awaiting my defeat
How amazing, yet how pathetic, I guess this life is bitter sweat

Everything's binary, good or bad
I think I've been had
The system cheated me
Defeated me
But only temporarily
Because what you can't see
Deep inside me
Is this fire burning ever brighter constantly
This won't burn out
Cuz I'm about to break out
Shake out, fake out
Stake out and take out
Because you'll find
No doubt in my mind
And in due time
You too will be left behind
