Death Rushes at Me

by Tripp   Aug 23, 2006


Hmmm...just comment this and let me know what you think

I'm tired of this, I've giving my life in
it's unfair, I don't know why I'm still livin'
Some odd chance, I'm still here breathing
but now, I'm right near leaving

It's ridiculous how much sh** I must give
just to continue, being here, to live
I don't see the point behind any of it all
when at the end of the day, I must crawl

This is a crushing burden upon my chest
but I can't go anymore, I've done my best
I used to think I'd never slip or stumble
but now my collarbones are gonna crumble

This insurmountable weight bows my back
the odds against me are stacked
it's like one thousand to one odds
I'm waging a war against the gods

Winning is an impossible objective
the beatings are supposedly corrective
but in the end, it's all false and fake
and now my back is soon gonna break

I'm taking one step forwards and two back
I'm the quarterback, about to be sacked
The linebackers coming at me, unblocked
and my legs and joints are dead-locked

Unable to budge as death rushes at me
And he just keeps coming, even more quickly
I'm stuck in the car's high beams
and none of these lines redeems

All my passed sins and actions
all my rule breaking, and infractions
in the end they all come back to me
and I'm stuck her, no longer free

I can't move as death comes at me
as he comes, I see all my memories
they flash before my eyes and I cry
hoping I'm not worthless, when I die
