Maladapted
Like a cactus I adapted to the desert sands
I learned to live the fiery heat and water forsaken lands
I learned to stand the frozen nights the blister of my hands
But never have I ever learned to live a land so damp.
Never did I learn to live such cloudy rainy nights
Never did I learn to live a day without my knives
Never have I faced a battle that I could not fight
And never have I ever felt the lightnings evil bite.
This evil storm, this darkening cloud, consumes my very soul
It brings me rain and brings me pain, unfills the once filled holes
It brings me sadness, brings me fear, my hearts a burning coal
Yes, my heart that’s full of dark, the very heart you stole.
The rolling thunder comes around and tells me my mistakes
It screams, “you’ll never be alive, you’ll never see the day!”
It tempts me through this rainy season in my hands a stake
A stake to tear the pain away there is no other way.
I ripped and tore until I bore a thousand open wounds
So when they scar they will remind me why my heart is bruised
To constant shatter of my heart, I know my heart is doomed
They say somewhere there is a light I hope to find it soon.
