Faded conscience
Worn out mind
Midwest victim
Going blind
Trying hard
Just to keep
The truth of
Who I am
In my sights
Surrounded
By those
I cannot trust
Shoving religion
Down my throat
Just trying
To for my sake
Stay a float
In a sea of madness
I don't belong in
Bullied, beat down,
Pushed around
Thought I was out
Yet back again
Once again stuck
In a hell
I don't deserve
Stranded
In the middle of nowhere
Searching but not finding
Sanity anywhere
Headphones on
Music cranked up high
I close my eyes
And let out a sigh
If I can't leave
Then at least
The music can take
Me away in my mind
Yes at least
The music can let
My restless
Soul take flight
