Adrift - Stand Your Ground

Not one single breath could lead me astray

Turn your green eyes to me and tell me i’m safe

Because for too long

I’ve lived for the day

That you’ll play noble martyr out of my way

This is new ground.

this ends right now

This ends with me peeling your eyes back so you can see

What good is left in this race that we claim?

Who then do we turn to with lives untamed?

We are the bastard child of morality

We pray and we pray to reclaim our sanity

Three cheers for the absence of purity

Let’s see if our footprints match our tattered feet

If this is your life, leave me be

Cynical as you are, set me free

I won’t be your whipping boy

I won’t be your shelter

Dear whoever reads this letter, just know the selfish part of me caused this
