Ignorance

The harder I fight the harder I fall
Should I just give up and do nothing at all

I wanna quit 
Right about now 
Give up my arms 
Put my guns down

There is now use
When i'm fighting myself
I feel so abused 
For this pain that I felt 

There’s no point to play victim
When I’m who I should blame
Why get mad at others 
When I can’t get over shame 

I have seen my worst fear 
I’ve witnessed myself make so many disappear
I don’t know why but I can’t shed a tear 
Or i can when I’m alone 
when it's just me and despair

At this point I think I’m someone different 
Want to watch the world burn
When I used to want to make a difference
When I thought they all noticed me 
Was when i was the least significant 
Guess how that makes me feel. 

Well just like I’m blessed with ignorance.
