Push

I see you trying to slowly turn your back to them

The shadows of who you were back when you felt condemned

I see you, still denying that you're worth the cost

A friendship's a one-way street that you refuse to cross

Push them all away and start your silence

The black light of despair's your only guidance

Fading, awaiting a message or some kind of change

Abating the shaking fear that you might need them

And that you're sick and deranged

But paranoia will turn truthful with just one step not taken

The terror that burned in your youth that you'd end up at this crossroads

And walk the path forsaken

Push them all away, I fucking dare you

Hush them, and see how deep this pit's prepared for you

Hateful though you think you've been

That straw man you burned is just an effigy

The rage you'll show will make that wretch seem heavenly

He's nothing next to the man who you are yet to be
