THE BARRIERS WE PUT UP THROUGH OUR DAILY LIVES TO MASK OUR INSECURITIES
NEVER SHOWING EMOTIONS AND TRYING TO SHOW WE ARE ALL WORTHY
PUTTING UP FRONTS TO BE PART OF SOCIETY
STANDING IN THE CROWDS OF DRUNKS HIDING YOUR SOBRIETY
YOU MASK THE FEARS OF YOUR FEARS
BUT THE MASK IS FILLED WITH TEARS
FINALLY BREAKING DOWN AFTER EPIPHANIES OF THE LAST YEARS
SHOWING ALL OF WHAT YOU ARE'NT AND HIDING ALL OF WHAT YOU ARE
LIKE PISSED OFF BEES WITH NO AIR HOLES STUCK INSIDE A JAR
BUILDING UP SKYSCRAPERS TO FORTRESS THE TRUE YOU
LEAVING THE LIGHT
BUT ENCLOSING IN THE BLUE
ENTRAPPED IN YOUR OWN BRAIN AND LOSING WHAT YOU KNOW
ONLY TO FIND SWEET INSANITY IN AGLOW
YOUVE LOST YOUR EMOTIONS AND THE ABILITY TO SPEAK
YOU GAVE IT UP, WHEN YOU THREW UP, YOURSELF TO BE UNIQUE
YOUVE PUT UP BARRIERS BETWEEN FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND FOE
NOW DEAD INSIDE , APPEARANCE ALIVE.
TO KEEP UP WITH MODERN FLOW
YOUVE LOST THE PERSON WHOS NOW ENCLOSED
AND CAN NEVER COME OUT BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS
THIS PERSON THEY NOW KNOW
COATING THE OUTSIDE WITH LIES OF WHO YOU WISH YOU'D LIKE TO BE
LIKE A MOVIE STAR WITH FORTUNE AND FAME IT COMES WITH ITS OWN FEE
THE BARRIERS HOWEVER ARE TEMPORARY AND EVENTUALLY CAME CRASHING DOWN
TO REVAL THE TRUE PERSON WHO WAS DILIGENTLY WORKING TRYING NOT TO DROWN,,,
DROWN FROM THE FLOODS OF TEARS, ANGER ,DEPRESSION, AND ANGST
WHICH NOW COMES FULL SPEED AHEAD SHOWING YOUR MISTAKES
THE BARRIERS WERE ONLY SO BIG AND DURABLE TO LAST FOR MINOR TIMES
BUT NOW ONE MUST RECALL TO A TIME OF WHEN THEY DIDNT HAVE BARRIERS, BACK TO THE PRIME
