waking every morning/knowing that my darkest days hold no weight/self-loathing is to weak a word/contend all you want/"there's no reason for this"/you can say that over and over again/and still I won't believe you/sunny days, all smiles/don't believe those lies/hard winds fan cold lights/embers burn in dead eyes/I walk streets paid for in blood/marble halls housing criminals and scum/cracks widen, engulfing me/canyons roam this land/and there are days/we are all afflicted with life/mine is no worse than yours/stop bitching/start living
