Tumor
There’s a tumor growing deep down in my soul
Pleading with me for full control
There’s a fire burning beyond within
Suffocating me in all my sin
There’s a revolution brewing beneath and between
All I have ever known and seen.
At times my life feels like a dream,
At times my life is not what it seems.
There’s a rabbit hole I’m falling through
Transforming all I’ve ever knew
There’s an emptiness that fades to black
I’m not sure how I will ever get back.
At times my life feels like a dream,
At times my life is not what it seems.
Pressure squeezes the essence of me
Its dark inside…I cannot see
Banging my head against all I find
Waiting for a definitive sign
There’s a rebellion draped in uncertainty
Constantly opposing and oppressing me
There’s a heart that once pounded on purpose
Now I live inside this circus
But I’m the only clown in here
I’m the one I have to fear.
At times my life feels like a dream
At times my life is not what it seems
Self is worse than any enemy
It’s what quietly tries to deceive me
I must break away from who I am
And get back up and try again
I must hold true to what is real
Allow myself to heal and feel
I must arrest the attacker in my head
Forgive all the things I did and said
I must raise the banner in an attempt to make peace
I must once and for all kill this beast.
At times my life feels like a dream
At times my life is not what it seems.
