A Place For Me
I observe the tapestry of life
Consumed by all of this strife
I tried to raise the wall
Only to watch it fall
They told me it's over
As I battled to stay sober
But why am I so lost
And what is the cost
I'm in the Hell of my own mind
Like a stranger I've yet to find
But if I were to truly fail
Would my haters hail
So I get up again and smile
Knowing it all goes to hell after awhile
But I just want to be fine again
No longer burdened by sin
I threaded through thoughts
I saw the discord it brought
So I took scissors and cut my ties
Unraveling a bevy of my own lies
I may have never had a plan
But I wanted to be more of a man
So as my life goes on replay
I wonder if I'll again be okay
From the best came the worst
And I feel my heart begin to burst
But see it's all in my head
And it wants to leave me dead
So I observe the tapestry of life
Consumed by all this strife
I genuinely just want to be free
And finally find a place for me
