Glaring Red from Martial Law by Gator King

There are many realizations that one must face in their life.
I dare anyone that I know to try and face mine.
Try as I might I can’t seem to do anything right
I strain and I strain until my pia mater is pulled tight.

When you’re at your wits end, I hope that I come to mind.
I know that you will be disturbed by what you will find.
The guilt attacks you like a knife wound searing the flesh.
Regret is the oxygen that turns your blood glaring red
And then you drown in a whirlpool of what you fear
Pulling you to the center of what you hate most

About yourself and mistakes you have made
And disappointments that follow you to the grave.

Had I known that I'd be such a disappointment
I would’ve strangled myself in the womb.
Umbilical cord wrapped around my neck,
I would have pulled it tight until my head would explode.
If I knew that I would let you down so hard
I would never have bothered
All my hopes die one by one
Like cattle lined up for slaughter.

Every promise was a lie.
