Fighting Thru’



Fighting Thru’

The straight-edge scratch seems so much
Away from that stimulant feel
Withdrawal’s a depressive panic verging on manic
Nothing I do makes me feel whole or true

I watch enviously all the calm faces
I wonder if any are on the ledge of hysteria gulch
Modern pressures squeeze like pressure cookers
Each one reaches for the ooze that makes nerves snooze

The feel being on the edge of your skin
Wanting to stay and run
Restlessness and the denial, you’re on the edge of scream
What is this human make-up that throws us into the extreme?

So breathe deeply and evenly while the world shakes
No need for that false warmth that actually hates
Being free can’t come without the phoenix rendition
And self-betrayal is utter dereliction
