Strang struggle
We are the lost souls
That never had a chance to want for goals
Achievement always cost an unachievable toll
To struggle was to live
As we are at war with lives that never gave give
Tooth and nail we fought to fail
No time to despair and give in to wail
Dried up tear ducts
Existing with no fucks
Chewing at the throat of the father
Hoping the blood will nourish us just a bit farther
Just to break down on empty tank
Choaking down vile water on rivers bank
The ebbs and flows would pull you under toe
If for a moment you try to know
Beneath breast seald in chest lies key
In heart does part the currents start
They rip through vein and pour out pain
To be known
To be spilt
To spit on family crest
In contempt
We repent
For sin of father's father we lament
True we trudge on
Let bygones be just gone
'Til fire rest on mountain
And shadow pours like fountain
We must wait in pace with lives in chase
To end
Stone face, no sign of fret
An end we will never know
Until met
