Overcome

written by: GrenadeJumper

My mirror reflection is slow to react
My killer instinct is just to attack
My shattered hopes
Followed by shattered dreams
I'm never gonna be able to find the means
To get by with this life that I live
With every ounce of strength that I give
I get no help in return
I'm just left alone to burn
Do you want my sympathy?
It's all a sudden tragedy
Entwined in a mystery
A lost cause I call myself
A probable result of guilt
Burning a hole in my heart
The further you walk away
The more I fall apart
The more I lose of myself everyday
The more I take in with every word you say
The way you could stare at me
And then suddenly turn away
The way I embrace a sunset at the end of each day
As the darkness falls I begin to search for hope
Begin to look for a tunnel at the end of the rope
I'm searching for the truth, not a blatant fallacy
I'm will never be content as flawless casualty
That's not who I am, and I'll never be him
The lights are becoming a little more dim
You learn and you grow a little more each day
You become more of a better man each day
You learn how to face your fears
Day by day, night by night
Tear by tear, fight by fight
Emotional transitions
That leave you in positions
So unkind to your mind
That you're left here wishing
For something to happen
To help you through the day
Nothing matters, nothing I can say
You want some answers to overcome your problems
But no matter what I do nothing will ever solve them
Not a wish to the heavens
Or a prayer to God
Could help you overcome
What is haunting you deep down inside
