A Walk Through Ruins
How can I define to you in a rhyme
My pain, melodically, nurtured by time
How can I make anyone feel what I feel
When all I know are lies, how can I make this real
Let me bring you down with me
As we walk through the fires, tell me what you see
Give me 18 years to destroy your worth
I’ll be in your brain til you regret your birth
Let me throw you to the lions blindfolded
Stand your ground, see how long you can hold it
Let me sully all that surrounds you
You’ll thank God for the worst you've been through
Only when your life hinges on hiding like I hid
Will you be capable of knowing pain like I did
