Roadkill

A few obstacles on my path tried to Leave me as roadkill Living a nightmare, Tragedies of my past replay, but I won't squeal Depression beating me, telling me I won't heal A few obstacles on my path tried to leave me as roadkill Traveling down the darkest roads, I can't see a thing a regular guy, who's on his way to being a king But first I need an angel to come down to fix and clean my wings Looking at my phone, Hoping I'm going to receive a ring My shield couldn't protect me from it all so I have wounds & scars attaching Struggling to walk as I see cars passing My legs are tired and my shoes are torn But I will find the blue sky and lose the storm I've survived the worst, so there isn't a thing I need protection from You need to be willing to learn before the lesson's gone I'm starving, but the hunger keeps me going To get a better future, you have to beat the moments I was close to giving up, but it's a no from me If you kicked me while I was down & refused to grow with me Then you admitted defeat, despite having a head start You won't beat me, because I have too much heart A few obstacles on my path tried to Leave me as roadkill Living a nightmare, Tragedies of my past replay, but I won't squeal Depression beating me, telling me I won't heal A few obstacles on my path tried to leave me as roadkill
