When you say
"Your words mean nothing to me,
You never knew me,
Your advice has no value to me"
Are you just looking for the perfect release,
To put a hardened mind at ease?
When violent visions affect your decisions
Are there demons you seek to appease?
Life has served you with so many lessons
Never managed to learn much
Mental fabric falls apart at the seams
A body of work torn limb from limb
Held together by vindictive dreams
And then you say you weren't raised to bask in praise
A simple kind word could hurt you in so many ways
Life has served you with so many lessons
Never managed to learn much
A stubborn ruler of a land of solitude
The reigning king of self sabotage
Mental fabric falls apart at the seams
A body of work torn limb from limb
Held together by vindictive dreams
Your triumphs and your trophies are the shards and the ruins
Of fantasies of slowing life down to a steady pace
You keep rejecting comfort, reinstating chaos in its place
Mental fabric falls apart at the seams
A body of work torn limb from limb
Held together by vindictive dreams
You calculate the stakes
Stage the collision
Take your foot off the brake
