Irritation Persists

Haste

Marks that they have set before me,

Stones lain to show the paths for me to take.

They have no foundation to hold me,

Hold me under falling,

I slip through these cracks,

Forget me, dance on me,

Bruises turn to wounds,

I tried, never good enough

With my eyes wide open,

To follow you down, follow you inside,

Watching you, watching you drag me down,

Hold me under my failure, I drown,

Who are you to tell me that I'm less?

I drown, open my eyes to see,

I see you are scared I'll make it on my own

It brings you down, that I find life

Everyone suffers for you,

You look inside,

Inside you are drowning yourself.

Inside the fear burns

Feeling is lost, grab anything

As the light fades away,

Hold me under my failure, I drown

Allow me to hold on or to reach

I've reached myself

You kick, I bleed,

You kick, I bleed for you
