Cast Out

Life has got me feeling stressed out
Left out of all of the things that I crave
I've got no skin in the game
Another cast out
So I'm sorry if I lash out
You might not like me
But you'll remember my name

You poisoned the well
Contorted and twisted
A dream that you thought you could sell
Constrict my right to leave
But with a chance to breathe
You can't take this away from me

Leave me at peace
Power isn't everything

Searching
Waiting for something
Yet living for nothing
A hostage of my own device
Screaming
Begging for something
Dying for nothing
A creature of selfish demise

So leave me
Leave me out in the cold
Watch our failures fill the air

Life has got me feeling cashed out
Self doubt
Keeps flowing coarse through my veins
It's like sand in my brain
I'm fucking burnt out
So I'm sorry if I lash out
You might not like me
But you'll remember my name

Breaking down
I succumb to a tormented son
Slowly drowned
Beneath the weight of impermanence
It's fucking meaningless

So leave me
Leave me out in the cold
Watch our failures fill the air
Believe me
You'll see what I'll become
Or will you drag us down instead

Clutching your wretched fucking crown

Poured from the tears you've wrought
Torn from pain you've caused
You keep taking the same things
And then you're gone
Our blood sweat and tears were yours to savor
Thought we were close
And then we lost your favor

So leave me
Believe in me

So leave me
Leave me out in the cold
Watch our failures fill the air
Believe me
You'll see what I'll become
Or will you drag us down instead
