These walls are closing in, my chest is caving in. I’ve watched my brothers fall. My idols fade away. I’m devoid of all purpose and I cannot live with that. Struggling to find my way, dreary eyed and discontent. Struggling to find my pride, with no sense of self importance. The sting of arrogance, allied with pretentiousness. Understanding consequence, I will not stand for this. I will not stand for this. My heroes have failed me. My heroes have failed me. The one’s we once looked up to, now fighting for, what they fought against. As a child I lived and breathed in their footsteps, now torn between madness and intolerance. As a child I lived and breathed in their footsteps, now torn between madness and intolerance. Give me a reason, to carry on. Give me a reason to defy what is wrong. My brother, my brother, I want to walk the path of the straight and narrow; I want to follow my heart and push on through. Understand, understand, this is not what was meant for me and you, for me and you. Understand, understand, I’m giving this all I can. I want to be a better man.
