The Fallen from Iron Kong by Eyedos

(VERSE)
every person who gets close, I'm pushing them away
when I try to leave them first cause I don't feel they'll stay
I don't want to get attached if they don't feel the same
trying to make every day count while you counting down your days
feel so ashamed of mistakes that I've made
letting the past dictate my current state
should've been more successful, it's hurting my pride
if it gets too stressful, their are worse things in life
everyone's an excellent judge of character
don't let your past define you
drive you mad and embarrass ya
stuck at a fork in the road where the line divides
switching lanes, caught between wrong and right
with every song I write, it's never a breeze
when the winds of change bend bows or break with ease
cause even a tree knows how to leave
and let go, so please ain't no praising me

(CHORUS)
You don't know where I'm from, where I'm from
You treat me like I'm dumb, but I've won

(VERSE)
You can't heal unless you cut off the cancer
You can't deal unless you've got all the answers
I see a blindfold, nother bandana
covering your eyes, closed, and you can't man up
stand up for what you stand for, they demand them
If you feel it then throw your damn hands up
only have your rights, can't let them reprimand them
If you feel it then throw your damn hands up
It's times like these I wish I was blind
so the world I see in a different light
Its hard to have a positive outlook on life
in the dark when the future ain't looking so bright
If you cut them down first, bound to come back twice
as sharp, nother train on a one track mind
in silence, two ships that pass in the night
Just a voice, bon voyage, a wave goodbye
If you take a bold stroke, then you'll have to see
how any good painting can become a masterpiece
Set sail, don't forget to breathe
Keep your head above water cause they'll pray you sink
then you float, an empty hole won't contain the sea
So when it pours, I let it rain on me
cause even the stream knows where to lead
And let go, so please no detaining me

(CHORUS)
You don't know where I'm from, where I'm from
You treat me like I'm dumb, but I've won

(OUTRO)
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
I want my plateful n all of the fixings
When I feel hateful, all is contingent
when I feel thankful, it's all too forgiving
seeing smoke when you burn all of your bridges
their's hope when the fallen has risen
end of your rope and you're balling your fist
better hold tight cause tomorrow is different
