[Pre-Chorus]

Thoughts that swell like crashing waves

Drowning in the guilt of my wasted days

[Chorus]

Shot out like a bullet from the womb to the curb

I spent my time following a pattern I never learned

Wasted words brought no rewards, no purpose served

I reserved my hateful gift

So I gave you my skin

With nothing left to give

[Bridge]

Trees weeping off the wilt of Autumn's leaves (Autumn's leaves)

A change of heart (Change of heart)

With Winter's breeze

[Verse 2]

Trauma didn't make me strong, it made me selfish

A bitter and angry fuck, why am I like this?

My past isn't rich but my words are more than two-cents

But after what I've fucking done, who would listen?

I could help myself or act self righteous

Nobody else would, it isn't worth it

I just want to go away

From all of you

[Verse 3]

Running against the wind

In a fight I'll never win

Succumbing to the vices

As adversity arises

Try as I might

But I'm never surprised by the silence from the altar

As I beg for redemption

Of my falter

As I watched the words pour from the mouth

Disappointment from the lips

Don't tell me your grievance, it doesn't mean shit

My peace of mind isn't worth this

[Pre-Chorus]

Thoughts that swell like crashing waves

Drowning in the guilt of my wasted days

[Chorus]

Shot out like a bullet from the womb to the curb

I spent my time following a pattern I never learned

Wasted words brought no rewards, no purpose served

I reserved my hateful gift

So I gave you my skin

With nothing left to give

[Outro]

"Heed my words, Struggler. Soon a rain of blood, the likes of which you cannot imagine, shall fall down upon you. It will be a storm of death. But take heed, Struggler. Struggle, endure, contend. For that alone is the sword of one who defies death."
