Held Back

i don't understand, is it true that i have to live like this
tired every day, can never catch a break add it to the list
i don't get a say, the light in my life's turned dull and gray
endless struggle, gotta find the strength to get away
i won't be held back
trade my time for the will to thrive
hoping for a moment that'll never arrive
confined to my chair
i forget what it's like just to have some fresh air
how is it fair?
to drain myself in a place that doesn't care
what do i do?
i thought things would be smooth but that wasn't true
i won't pretend i can bare
i won't be held back here
i'm breaking out

Intro/Altered State
02:06

you were never one to think for yourself
every couple months i see you're somebody else
can hardly wrap my head around the fact
that i caught you dead in your tracks
you faded away, just a face
now it's time to put you in your place
there's more to life than material possesion
but you couldn't see past your self-obsession
now face the truth
maybe you'll realize before it's too late
but now you're living in an altered state
your style and aesthetic is so fucking pathetic
that shit doesn't matter, one day you'll regret it
just a lost cause why should i care

Unwanted

not wanted here
how could you be so selfish
your bad attitude isn't helping
trying to bring all of us down
but we won't keep you around
plagued everything you touched
negative and bland like it isn't much
trying to keep all of us down
i won't dare allow
make way you're at the end of the track
take a look around you no one has your back
time for you to go i hope i made it clear
no one needs you around here

Lesson Learned
01:25

what i believe is how i choose to see
i worked twice as hard
my whole life just to end up half as far
have no choice but to tough it out
i won't let these hard times get me down
i know what i'm worth
ill make sure you do
nothing in this life will ever be handed
so i won't take what i have for granted
i recognize it all, all that i've earned
fight for what you've got is the lesson i learned
live for myself
i'm all i have at the end of the day
live for myself
all that i was taught was learned the hard way
i'm on my own
its all i know

Won't Be Missed

you always talk behind my back
i see it's courage that you lack
i know that you were never on my side
learning you're a shitty friend
now you try to make amends
i can just decipher all the lies
you think this is a joke
keep laughing until you choke
betrayed again i'm not surprised
the storm is coming and tension will rise
betrayed again and i know why
look in the mirror who do you see
an image of someone you said you'd never be
nowhere to be found in my time of need
a shallow mindset and an ego to feed
you're more trouble than you're worth
take a step back and try not to get burned
