Perseverer

Broken Home

Perseverer


Give me life for a new day
I don't want to stay buried in this fucking grave
Will I remain slave to this body dissipating in grey?
I've got insects crawling through my veins
And I can't find a way to escape

I've lost my compass, I've lost my way
I sit and stare at the flowers on my fucking grave

I carve my name into headstones to remind the world I died years ago

You are haunted by the son you never wanted
I was born dead

Home the overlapping cracks in the road
Sown to the flowers and stones
I cannot stand these colors or tones
So lead me where I don't need to roam

You may have gave me life though you took it away
The day you strayed and left me consumed grey
You may have gave me life though you took it away
The day you strayed and left me
I was nothing

Please father, put your needle down
Stay with me, help raise me off the ground
Please mother, don't be angry now
All I've ever done was try to make you proud
