American Dream - Adaliah

Separate from everything that I hold dear

I’m walking into everything that I fear

There’s only so much that I can bare

You know what they say, life is always unfair

I feel the woe as it grows, being torn from within

Anger truly exposed

Forget all I’ve ever been taught

I’m not wasting time, it’s just a feeling I’ve got

I’m not wasting my time

I’m not wasting my life

You’re supposed to guide me but you’re leaving me behind

I have put everything into this just to have you turn your back and leave me

blinded like the rest

You forced me to believe that life is preconceived

I will not abide by this normality

Break free from expectation

Maybe then you’ll find a life worth saving

Your doubt piles onto me

I won’t live your American dream

My head being torn in different directions

Your grip limits me through suffocation

I wake addicted to affliction

The frustration always wins

I feel it constantly

I feel it in my skull

Hiding underneath

I feel it in my chest

Always choking my breath

Always there to intervene

Nothing I’ve ever felt really compares to abjection

I will release myself from your fucking suffocation
