It's never been easy to break free of everything lost Through horrible circumstances and the ways we cope Was it really my fault Or was it something in between that and reality I'm hard on myself, but maybe I don't know Let's backtrack, how did you react How would you react now Could progress be measured by anything else Blanket statements on the inside Breaking my own heart The only way I know how to fall apart I feel something entering The void inside my hope But these defense mechanisms will never help me cope But I see the future in the faces of the people that still let me in Despite the darkness that engulfs us all Through a world that doesn't care Everything that it destroys All the systems we enforce that destroy And even though I've been destroyed, I am still worthy of love
