Fuel For The Forgotten

I was running low on fuel
Slowly falling behind
Life has been very cruel
Fate nearly made me blind

Everybody sped fast past me
The whole world raring to go
No one stopped to ask me
They just assumed I'd already know

That life was gonna be hard
Life was gonna leave me crying
And that I would end up scarred
And getting sick of trying to be dying

Asking is there anyway out
Screaming with every last breath
Confused, angry full of doubt
Does every teen crave and ache for death?

Or was it just me? That's lonely
I'm tired now, need to re fill
All those eyes thinking they own me
Trying to make a kill

Running is tiring, running is dumb
Cos you're gonna stop some when
I stopped and looked, saw there was no one
And was too tired to run again

Just when I thought that the fuel was gone
I got re filled and re ignited with an angel flame
I don't quite know how, life rolled along
And suddenly fuel came

Now I'm riding steady, in control
Connected, energized and willing
Putting back together my broken soul
Nothing's gonna take me to make a killing.
