Beneath Your Feet (Song)
From the first of my birth
Until my dying days
I lived life expecting the worse in every case
Night times I couldn’t sleep
Seemed stress had me over whelmed
To strong to weep
A fatal crush no individual would care to keep
An unforgiving face no man was prepared to meet
Through the mud and water
Brutal thuds, a careless mans order
I smiled only to allow my spectators to live worry free
In my deepest thoughts
I only visualized those who would stand and burry me
Ashes to ashes, mysterious flashes
Unto my final lay
My surroundings seem to hurry me
What else is one suppose to do
A failing adolescent whom rose to truth
Dreamt upon soothing times
To remove me from these shackles in my mind
A prison, a convict’s yard
I couldn’t escape, seems the sun picks the bar’d
A broken ornament, a gift from the scar’d
The emotional down pours that reveal who we are
Who’s to say I’d never change
Only to grow to be the same tainted man
Reality dawns upon my blister painted hands
From alternators and scrap metal parts
Only to submit them to junk yards
For a true earned strained heart
That’s no lie; I learned my true hand to poverty
Casualties missing me, meant to be slobbery
Imprints of a father chasing after me
Now that the world prays me gone
I reside beneath my own shadow
Dwell against this concrete walk way all alone
No regret spots for me, suffering is my only home
Shall it be a merciful dawn, once it’s all shown?
Questions for which I can not answer on my own
Teary nights, not enough said in past conversations
Deep within your regrets I could feel you mourn
A painful constipation
Subordinate clauses, fallen from the wrong information
Now above the stars
I’m sheltered in my own constellation
So go on, bury me
To my enemies, this is the last of me
Please bury me
No interest in your sympathy
Bury me
