Ones Like Me

from Elegy For Youth by FiveSidedDice

/

lyrics

I snap out from the sleep
That I’m livin in,
Crushing weight grinds my soul
Into Gelatin.
Get back, step back,
Tryna take my life back.
All this and that
Shit drives me off track.

I gotta keep it together
Up in my head and I
Just gotta learn to love the weather
And the grey skies
Because it aint gonna get no better,
No one can get it,
Ah just fuck it,
Forget it.

Upon the altar where I lost myself before,
I found a better place.
Inside the shelter of this heaven that I saw,
There was no human race.

You see,
I breathe out disease,
Spit ice that’ll freeze.

I think it’s time
I get to know myself a little more
Inside and out,
I’ll spill myself out on the floor
So I can see what makes up me
And what makes me tick
And what makes me scream,

it seems That I can never get things right,
You’re either out of reach
or I’m out of sight
and I’m sorry I converse
in metaphors and rhymes,
but if It makes it any better,
I try spit them on time

And you’re lucky,
Laid back with your apathy and bliss
While you bask in your gluttony
and don’t give a shit
But there’s kids like us
That are cursed with a gift,
enigmatic passion,
Lay back, take a hit,
Close your eyes.

Upon the altar where I lost myself before,
I found a better place.
Inside the shelter of this heaven that I saw,
There was no human race.
I went looking for something new to believe
And found the ones like me.
I cut the stitches forcing my spirits eyes closed
Allowing me to see.

Many try but can’t open their eyes,
Their brains work but their souls are blind.
It must be tough when you’re cold inside;
No passion or fire, they don’t live but survive.
And I was once just like them,
No thought of the stanzas end,
Only focusing on my shit.
All I learnt was that it’s not worth it.
You see,

Upon the altar where I lost myself before,
I found a better place.
Inside the shelter of this heaven that I saw,
There was no human race.
I went looking for something new to believe
And found the ones like me.
I cut the stitches forcing my spirits eyes closed
Allowing me to see.
