Mockery

Mockery

afraid to kick and scream
afraid to rule the world
it has you in its clutches
and you keep holding back

hiding in the shadows
they beckon you to show your face
but you keep a silent facade
hovering over the door that leads out
you turn around and retreat to safety
too many things have come between
you've taken your beatings
you've let them tell their lies

afraid to kick and scream
afraid to rule the world
it has you in its clutches
and you keep holding back

facing your own reality
fear races through your veins
mockery fills the room
as echoing voices crush your skull
it was never good enough
you never measured up
always coming up short
only to be kicked to the side

afraid to kick and scream
afraid to rule the world
it has you in its clutches
and you keep holding back

another day has gone
you dont even notice it was there
living in and out of reality
you seek to find what it is you want

afraid to kick and scream
afraid to rule the world
it has you in its clutches
and you keep holding back
