Hurting

I don’t know how many times I can break

I feel the weight with each and every mistake

When you’re a constant fuck up, saying “I’ll do better” seems.... fake

I can’t control it, been rolling with the punches and kicks

But you can get fed up real quick

I’ve had enough of this shit

But I know I can’t let it go

Maybe I can find my soul out in the rain and the snow

and bring it back home

Cursed with a strong will, I won’t just roll over and die

I will continue to try so I can look my kids in the eye

Believe me this is no lie

So take your hate out on me

I’ll carry the burden for free, the only one paying is me

I will reach the mountain peak

with the whole world on my shoulders

Climbing over the boulders as I continue to get older

And I won’t holster

I’ll push through the burden

I’m gonna see behind that curtain because i know for certain

That I’m needed here even though I am ......hurtin
