Dead Reckoning

There's a strain on my heart, I've been walking miles Staring at this map, plotting through all the tiles I'm losing track of all these paths I haven't traced So how the f*ck did I end up so out of place I'm finding my own way forward now, over desert mountains formed from dust Through heartbreak and a loss of trust I'm finding my own way forward now, there's no turning back, no ghosts to please Taking breaths to keep my lungs at ease I'm gunning towards where I think is right I don't know where I am, but I know where I stand So f*ck being nice, and f*ck this faux paradise Keep the fire till my end; a route of my own and choice I'll contend Now my heart is pounding, I've been dripping sweat Below the summer sun, I promise I'm not under duress I chose to be here, look in the mirror, you can't complain Dismiss that path in your heart, the consequence is pain Don't say you miss me just because I'm not the same Flowing with the entropy and marching without weight on me Don't say you hate me because I don't blame the rain I'm firing all the weaponry to clear the road in front of me I'm gunning towards where I think is right, I don't know where I am, but I know where I stand So f*ck being nice, and f*ck this faux paradise Keep the fire till my end; a route of my own and choice I'll contend
