I held my tongue until it bursts
I bolted for the door, head first
Spiteful sorrows escaped my lips
I'm a sail-less vessel avoiding my hardships
Self exile into my shallow shell
I'm the shadow of all my broken dreams
Miles from home, I ran until I fell
But I could not outrun myself
I've never met my reflections eyes
I've never kept up my own lies
I know I've grown into all that I despise
Underneath my muted gray skies
A desolate deficit of identity
Painting my face on a mural of enemies
Pruning my limbs and rotting my fruit
Estranging myself away from the truth
I'll break my walls down
I'll knock upon your door
I'll let you climb up on these shattered shoulders
And let you throw me to the floor
