Is all the sadness that I've ever felt

From expectation that I set for myself?

I let the bar drop slowly

That was just the old me

My failures not my apogee

Is all the beauty that I never felt

From me blaming everyone but myself?

I let the guilt build slowly

In and out of lonely

Am I still the old me?

All the sadness that I've ever felt

Was from me blaming everyone but myself

Still in this hurricane, fulfill my prophecy

Is that my destiny? Another fallen tree?

I can't keep living in this bitter hell

Collecting dust inside an old empty shell

Will better days still know me?

Absent of the hurting

Cast my gaze inside me
