Closeted aggression thrown into submission
Still a detonation is eminent
I have become my own apocalypse
And now
And now the script is flipped
But I'm the still the one dragging down this sinking ship
Am I the captain of this vessel
Am I the captain of this vessel
Or am I merely a steward of misery
Denying a peace of my identity
Defying the anger that seems to dwell inside of me
Trying to resolve the past I have made out of haste mistakes
Terrifying to sail the bitter seas of reality
My empty chasm reeks
Of atrocities every fathom deep
Yet beneath its embedded cruelty there
A subtlety of disbelief
That therein lies a shred of decency
And the further I distance myself from the hate and the guilt
I can spare a moment
To erase all the tension that's tethered
Through trialed endeavors the
Stakes of doubt solemnly sequestered
With a divided premonition
And the addition through compassion
Your hate subtracts via cataract
And multiplies all chance to thrive
Multiplies chances to thrive
We are not
Just surviving
We are not
Just surviving
We are
Thriving
We are not
Just surviving
We are not
Just surviving
We are not
Just surviving
