The Meaning Behind These Words

Grow up and be who you want
be the person thats not so distraught.
You fear to become who you are not
and yet, you see the person, you can not be caught.

Can you tell him how you feel?
The pain that you see?
Things started to fall apart.
Everything, at bay, but can you calm your sea?

Your life was a beginning,
this far you have come.
You claim that I am like a sloth,
for you have not seen the danger that I have become.

I unravel the pain with my fears,
and show the peace with my tears.
But you have become blind in the thick mist on the ocean
that you have not bothered to see my devotion. 

You're broken down like a weak tree in a blizzard,
but don't think that I'll help you through the things i have not considered.
You beat me and you try to smite me from where i stand,
only because your selfishness has weakened you by the tip of your hand.

The cigarette is finally getting the best of you,
is it harsh of me to say i want it too?

The tip of your hand is where it lies,
your excuse, 
your cover,
your lie.

But you see, i still have time.
To run away from you, i will do till i die. 

So don't think ill be your slave for eternity,
because we all know well enough that you wont survive immortality.
