Insurrection

I'm in a fragile state I am off balance I've been knocked reeling by the news My internal debate Is overwhelming I am unsettled and confused I am lost inside this maze of mine I can't find my way out Seeking escape from this crazy mind But I can find no answers Wandering inside this maze of mine I can't escape the doubt My twisting thoughts are labyrinthine And I am left without an answer I'm in a tender place Lost in the silence Drowning in fears I can't vanquish Misery's sweet embrace Is holding me down And I sink into the anguish I am lost inside this maze of mine I can't find my way out Seeking escape from this crazy mind But I can find no answers Wandering inside this maze of mine I can't escape the doubt My twisting thoughts are labyrinthine And I am left without an answer

You're walking away from me You've turned your back; this time for good You're walking away from me Message heard and understood And so it's come to this The end is here and it's too late But at last I see What you wanted What you needed I never meant to cause you pain I hate to see hurt in your eyes But I lash out again And there's no compromise Am I destined to destroy everything that brings me joy And tear apart the soul of everyone I love? In the mirror all I see is a source of misery A torturer that you are better rid of I'm destined to destroy You're walking away from me You won't turn back; it's set in stone But now I agree You'll be better off alone If it can come to this Despite all that we intend We can't help ourselves We'll break it up - Break it up I never meant to cause you pain Hate to see that I drove you away Wonder if I'll ever change Or just repeat today Am I destined to destroy everything that brings me joy And tear apart the soul of everyone I love? In the mirror all I see is a source of misery A torturer that you are better rid of I'm destined to destroy I never meant to cause you pain I hate to see hurt in your eyes I see it now and I am shamed But I do what I despise Am I destined to destroy everything that brings me joy And tear apart the soul of everyone I love? In the mirror all I see is a source of misery A torturer that you are better rid of I'm destined to destroy

It's only me: the insecure imposter Barely keeping my head above the water Got to keep going, worried that I'll falter Desperately trying to impress Ever blind to my own success I can't see what you see I can't believe in me I know I don't deserve this Maybe I should just quit I can't trust in myself I'm feeling overwhelmed I can't stand on my own I can't shake this imposter syndrome It's only me, in need of validation Undeserving of your admiration I am lost in a sea of self-negation Can't you see the doubt in my eyes? Won't you ever expose my lies? I can't see what you see I can't believe in me I know I don't deserve this Maybe I should just quit I can't trust in myself I'm feeling overwhelmed I can't stand on my own I can't shake this imposter syndrome Is this fear of failure or a failure of fear? Was it just luck that got me here? Please excuse my peeling camouflage And disregard my self sabotage My complex inferiority just won't subside The weakness has taken root deep down inside I don't want your attention; I just want to hide I will give up the spotlight and step aside Climbing Dunning-Kruger Hill Losing confidence as I gain skill The more I win, the less I believe The less I expect, the more I achieve How did I get so far above my station? How can I build on a shaky foundation? How can I live up to the expectation? How can I survive the overestimation? I can't see what you see I can't believe in me I know I don't deserve this Maybe I should just quit I can't trust in myself I'm feeling overwhelmed I can't stand on my own I can't shake this imposter syndrome

The slime gets everywhere Turn over any rock and you'll find corruption So expose it to the open air Leave it facing its imminent destruction The decay is far advanced And the rot has been spreading unchecked It's past time the boil was lanced And the halls of power were disinfected The time is past for expedience It's time for a little disobedience Time to deliver a little correction Time to show our disaffection Time to drive out the infection Rise up in insurrection Our leaders are mired in sleaze Surrounded by bribes and cronies and kleptocracy They're rotten right through, it's like a disease Such is the rise of the mediocracy The time is past for acceptance Now it's time for resistance Time to deliver a little correction Time to show our disaffection Time to drive out the infection Rise up in insurrection We don't have to stand for their contempt They can't stand without our consent They must face up to outright rejection Their indifference sparked our insurrection The time is past for genuflection The time is here for insurrection We're not asking for perfection But more honesty and less deflection Lies won't offer much protection Against our insurrection Time to deliver a little correction Time to show our disaffection Time to drive out the infection Rise up in insurrection

There are people with nowhere to turn With no hope left in their hearts Desperately floundering and reaching out Seeking a light in the dark There are people lost in despair Searching for a guiding light Let us be a beacon of hope Shattering the night Let us burn Let us burn brighter! There are people calling out for help People who're lost and afraid Let us bring them brand new hope Let us bring them aid Let us burn Let us burn brighter! There are people lost in despair Reach out and show them you care There are people with nowhere to turn Be a beacon and brightly burn Give me your hand, let me lift you Let me be your light in the dark Let us burn Let us burn brighter!
