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