March of the Frustrated

written by: OurSacredHonor

This for Mrs. I can't sleep
And for Mrs. Everyone else says that I'm to weak
Mrs. I'm so sick of waiting my turn to speak
And for everyone who knows that talk is cheap

People speak before they think and they'll cut you off
They scream out way too loudly and say you whisper too soft
They try to get your attention with that obnoxious cough
Well I'm fed up with that, and I know you are too, so hit me with the roll off!

Dut dut
Dut dut
BzzzzzzzzzzzzzDut dut

This is the march of the frustrated
Your words are cheap and overrated
Have me wondering why I waited
Cuz all I get is a meaningless "I'm sorry" belated

Why do I bother
You smother
Like no other
So I duck and cover
You recover
I wait another day
For you to go away
But you stay
And what you say
Doesn't change
Same words rearranged
It rings in my ears
Til I can't hear
I fear
I'm not in the clear
Like I had hoped
I can't cope
Can't seem to clear the smoke
I'm in the darkness
And I can't harness
The means to be free
Of the misery
Of these stormy seas
Where you dragged me
Out to drown
Now I'm down and out
But I doubt
That you would care
I could die, but you'd be ok with that
As long as you were there
This isn't fair
Why can't you see
That I need space
To breath
So let me be
Let me be free
And most of all
Why won't you please
Just get the fuck away from me!

This is the march of the frustrated
Your words are cheap and overrated
Have me wondering why I waited
Cuz all I get is a meaningless "I'm sorry" belated

I've read up
And I'm fed up
With the falsity
Stop lyin to me
I can see
Right through the fa?ade
To the lies inside
Coupled with alibis
And in your eyes
You try to hide
But your pride reveals
What you tried to steal
And I won't take this
No, not anymore
I've had it, I'm through, walk out that door
Leave now for you sake
Before I break
And take a fucking rake
To your fucking face
You're a disgrace
Get out of this place
And out of my face
If you come crying to me again
You'll be leaving with a neck brace

This is the march of the frustrated
Your words are cheap and overrated
Have me wondering why I waited
Cuz all I get is a meaningless "I'm sorry" belated

Zip it kid and listen
Open your mouth and I'll shove my fist in it
It's my turn to speak now
And your turn it isn't
I'll make this clear as crystal
Don't make me load my lyrical pistol
I don't need your help or your advice
Here's some for you, before you speak think twice
Play nice somewhere else
And put your feelings on a shelf
Cuz I don't care
And this nightmare
Has gone on too long
It's wrong
And you don't belong
Forcing yourself down my throat
With those inconsiderate words you wrote
I'm the scapegoat for you pain
And on me you place the blame
Because I guess I just don't feel the same
As you do for me
But still you have to see
You gotta let me be
Give me three feet of personal space
And let patience take the place
Of this misplaced
Devotion
Cuz this circular motion
Is making me ill
You can't fill
The void I keep
So please leave me be and just let me sleep
Peacefully
Without you bothering me
You think your words will help but on the contrary
They're holding me back and keeping me down
I thought it'd be better with you not around
But you're a persistent pest
That just won't let me rest
I try my best
But you continue to test
My patience to no end
And you call yourself a friend
If that was true this would've stopped back then


Back then
You said you'd be different
Back then
You said you'd try to learn
Back then
You said you'd try to listen
Right now
I know that letter should've been burned

It's my turn now
Enough about you
I'm fed up now
I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll give up now
And tell you that I'm through
Eyes red up til now
But after this they'll again be blue

This is the march of the frustrated
Your words are cheap and overrated
You have me wondering why I waited
Cuz all I get is a meaningless "I'm sorry" belated
You've made my gentle edges serrated
And at any moment I feel I can be separated
I've debated this for too long, no more who's wrong who's right
I'm ending this all tonight
