And Rome Will Go On
I'm reaching out but no one graces my hands
I'm rapping the presence and no one appreciates my gift
So I keep hope that you'll hear
When I know it's a myth
Mirrors reflect what we already know
Pictures of us are memories that glow
In your silverware I see a portion of me
As I feed myself this illusion we're free
and Rome went on without Caesar himself
I'm doing so much but it's never enough
I say i don't know how to lose
Yet i never really win
And if it's the sunset i chose
Why must i live amongst these men
I'm doing the best that i can bring myself to do
I'm doing what i feel in heart is right
But there is no heaven or peace anywhere in sight
Would i be so wrong to ask for closure within my cries
For those of you who know, i'm lost as a selfish man, low
I hope you understand, i'm just requesting to go
I walked with you through the trials we endure
I lifted you up from the trenches unpure with no strength to cure
the irony is
Some people will suck, the life out of you
But only when you choose to live happily and free
It only makes this music mean, so much more to me
and Rome went on without Caesar himself
I'm doing so much but it's never enough
I say i don't know how to lose
Yet i never really win
And if it's the sunset i chose
Why must i live amongst these men
