Thorns of a rose.
I, I fucking hate me
You can’t relate to me
There’s no sense of even trying to
But I think I know you
I know your heart isn’t true
That’s why you’re trying to be close to us
You’re someone we can’t trust
Someone we just lump
Into a group of people that will never understand
What it means to truly hate your fucking self
I know you want to be just like me
But you can’t ride this dick for free
It comes with baggage, been here since the womb
Only way out is in a tomb
It takes dedication, no realization
That you just have to listen to yourself
Instead just take every problem you have
And tuck it deep inside
The more it builds up, the less you give a fuck
The wall fortifies itself
Everyone’s suspect, so I have to protect
Myself from everyone around me
You can’t get close to me, don’t even try
Thorns of a rose.

Leaves

No one that I know seems to stick around
I turn my head for one minute, they leave me out
I know that I seem to bounce around to many cliques
But that’s because I never feel like I ever fit
Everyone that I love seems to leave
So pack your bags and join the team
Leave me in the past
You never really cared about my sorry ass
Leave me in the past
You never really cared about me
I try to show those around me appreciation
But I just come off pathetic
I don’t want your pity, you’re playing games
I need to learn when to cut off fake friends
Everyone that I love seems to leave
So pack your bags and join the team
Everyone that I love seems to leave
So pack your fucking bag
Leave me in the past
You never really cared about my sorry ass
Leave me in the past
You never really cared about me

The seeds that stick around me
Should flee, should flee
Leave while you have the chance
I spread hate everywhere I glance
To everyone, everywhere
No one is safe
I have no happy place
Save the next generation so they don’t turn out like me
Filled with hate
But at least I can say
I tried
But I can’t keep a happy thought in my mind
I tried
But everyone that I love
Hangs me out to dry
I’d rather die
Than teach the future how to live my life
I’d rather die
Than turn their fruits into poison
Just like mine
Leave while you have the chance
I spread hate everywhere I glance, to everyone, everywhere
No one is safe
I have no happy place
Save the next generation
So they don’t turn out like me
Filled with hate
But at least I can say I'm fine
I only panic when I’m home alone
Because I’m polite
I’m fine
The world outside scares the shit out of me
But I keep that deep inside
I can’t save the next generation
I can’t even save myself
I never ask, "what about the kids?"
I never talk about my health
If anything you look at me to say
‘That’s the opposite of what a man should be.’
I can barely keep myself standing
Look elsewhere to see what a man could be
Leave while you have the chance
I spread hate everywhere I glance
To everyone, everywhere
No one is safe
I have no happy place
Save the next generation
So they don’t turn out like me
Filled with hate
But at least I can say
I try.

Roots

I wish that I could blame my past
But my future looks just as bad
When will I learn from these mistakes?
When these roots stop ripping up the pavement
These roots consume me
At least they’re trying to
My world isn’t revolving
They follow me still
Leave me to rot in peace
I can’t keep running, they’re picking up the pace
I can’t run forever, but nor can I hide
But everytime I turn around, I lose my stride
I hate this chase sometimes I want to end it all
And then I trip, but I do not want to fall
It’s better when I face my demons
But to them, I won’t give allegiance
This world is cruel, but nothing compared to my mind
My biggest battle is inside my pitiful excuse for a mind
Where outside I have to pretend that I’m fine
There’s no one around me that knows my true pain
I hide it well
I’ve lived with it my entire life
Until I’m dead I will have it still
I see the world around me not as others seem to believe
I know I’m cruel, but nothing compared to my mind
My biggest battle is inside my pitiful excuse for a mind
Where outside I have to pretend that I’m fine
These roots consume me
At least they’re trying to
My world is not revolving
They follow me still.

I don’t care how you see me, this world is mine
When I show my true colors, I fucking shine
Others bow down at the sight of me
One good glance and they want to keep the peace
But some of these bastards, they want to try their luck
I get uprooted from my element, taken advantage of
They use and abuse me, again and a-fucking-gain
They use and abuse me, again and again
I don’t care how you see me, this world is mine
Don’t bother trying me, I’m no stranger to crime
I might seem fragile, but that’s your ignorance
No one comes near me if they have common sense
Keep your hands to yourself from a distance
Don’t try to approach me in any instance
I’m better without you, you’re not the boss of me
If you know what’s good for you, you’ll stay the fuck away from me
They use and abuse me, again and a-fucking-gain
They use and abuse me, again and again.

Is it better to stand up on my own two feet
Instead of taking a backseat?
This world has never been so open to me
Don’t make me plead
I’ve been waiting, I’ve been begging
I’ve got to get off my knees
Even if it’s not meant for me
I’ve got to seize this opportunity
I’ve spent my whole life waiting for someone to give me a fucking spine
It’s hard to take what’s mine because i’m abandoned on the inside
The lights are on, but nobody’s home
Still standing, but overgrown
The lights are on, only skin and bones
Barely standing, overgrown
I’ve spent my whole life running
But now it feels like I’m running in circles
I’ve got to stop and plant my feet
Maybe then I can learn how to grow thorns like a rose
Stay back
Move
Keep your distance
Keep your hands to yourself
Leave me alone
I will rot on my own
Thorns of a rose.
