Elemental Zazen
"Hanging By A Thread "

Got me feeling the daily damage
Walk down streets paved with anguish
Can't escape the easiest way to bandage
The universe expanded
abuse handed to brand another mind with signs
and the language
They know what pain is when it's planted
Wandering round enchanted
by everything they tell you is romantic
You start to panic cause you've taken it for granted
More than semantics you're opinions unfairly slanted
It's dangerous to risk
Use your religion as a trick accept that you exist
Seek a fix a trip or slit wrists to slip
Further away from the grip
you thought you had on the myth
The sadness is sick tragic to be addicted to
It's fits you like those memories
you constantly sift through
Biological fathers dissapear and forget you
With a pistol to the head
thinking noone would miss you

Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
holding tight to the light for dear life
Wondering if it's right to give up the fight instead
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
And sometimes the end feels better than this pretend
Happiness I defend that's hanging by a thread

All of the fear you're born into
alive within you
Makes you question the existential
So it's no wonder that your disease is mental
And the growth is exponential
Feeling in place is essential
But you've never felt safe
so you never learned the differential
The voices detrimental
The obsessions are instrumental
in killing all of your potential
That's why you hide when the rents due
Cause it's a war upon your mind and nothing ever defends you
only offends you
And in the darkness the comfort of the thoughts and words are what befriend you
They got you doing everything you don't intend to
Aiming directly at those who don't comprehend you
The same ones thinking that they can always mend you
They never cared anyway they just pretend to

You took the stairs to the top
Now you stare overlooking the drop
It's their loss If you jump
Prepare yourself to be caught
By something you could never understand until you've felt it's hands clutch the outcome
An animal you are not
You've thought it over and decided it's the best you can make of the situation
Another man that is lost
Standing so close to the inevitable end obsessed with desperation
Close your eyes and whisper a prayer
Filled with despair apologize for the lives you could never repair
Thank your parents and friends that were never there
Thank everyone that called you important but never cared
Take a step and begin to fall, weightless
Wind on your skin, one with your sins, flying away
No regrets at all
Before the curtains close dream of all the prose you composed on your final day
