Rise

I am selfish I bring misery to a wholesome heart When I speak As I create the sound of a thinking mind I see her ears contract as to reject the vibrating waves She responds but I can't distinguish I can't hear her over my own I bring misery to a wholesome heart and humble home I regret ungratefulness She was selfless She left me breathless I am helpless I can never love I know that my demons will kill me before I feel the relief The look in her eyes as they blur from the tears 'Cause she knows I'm alive but I feel dead inside He can never love as long as he has the will to breathe Breathe Breathe The mistakes I've made that have led me here The people I've hurt along the way The shortcomings that dictate how I live my life The pressure of society to be perfect I will never be perfect The inconsistencies that make us human Our personal struggles that we defeat by making it through another day This is only the beginning We rise when faced with adversity We rise Or do we fall Defeat ourselves once again Tearing her heart from her chest From her chest Tearing her heart from her chest
