Too Much To Take

written by: OurSacredHonor

Too much to take
Too much to take
Too much to take
How do you expect me not to break?

Every single day of this life just gets harder to handle
Like a melting candle
I'm at the end of my wick
It's burning quick
I feel sick
So many roads to pick
So much division
Too many decisions
Requires so much precision
It's too much to envision
I couldn't foresee
This future ahead of me
What to do, what to be?
Can't discern what's reality
I can't find the right mind
To be kind or unwind
The words to keep me from being blind
and deaf to the answer
Shadows spread like a cancer
I'm losing control
I'm not whole
The depths of my soul
Feel like a bomb, I'm gonna blow
I'll explode
And reload
And do it again
And again
What would you do then?
When I'm at the end
of my rope
And it's around my neck waiting to choke
Me blue
What would you do?
Stand there and let me go through
It all over again
When
You know I've done it all before
What the hell! What's once more?
Another painful chore
An obligation
To amplify my frustration
This situation
These sensations
Pull my patience
To their limits
I'm in this
And trapped in
And wrapped up
In this systemic
Epidemic
They call life
All this strife
Like a scythe
Or a knife
It cuts deep
But talks cheap
So just weep
And let the thoughts seep
Into your brain
Feel the pain
Let it drive you insane
Like a freight train
Heading dead on
And don't let on
The fear you feel
Though it feels so real
It's hard to deal
With but you can't conceal it

Too much to take
Too much to take
Too much to take
How do you expect me not to break?
