Nothing Left To Do Now



Marked up pages with illegible writing

You try to cover the mistakes of your life with confusion

You can’t erase the ink that has dried on that page

Your life is in progress and a pen tells the story

Fingerprinted guns, smashed cans, crushed glass, stained hands

You broken what you had to break, made what you had to make happen

You can only do so much to be like this world

This world that swallows everything they hear with a hint of blood, a gulp of sex and a feeling of drunkenness and use it to their best of ways

You try to cut everything off in your life with just one slice of a knife

Throw it in the river with the stains that it still has on it

It’s good to be cleansed just for one night

But not with the regret you feel later in your heart that will bleed by the pain of such extreme measures

No one ever did anything to deserve such a killing with your anger

Whose fault is it now? Who can change your ways of thinking blood?

But it still isn’t good enough for the world is it?

You feel the pressures of mountains falling on your shoulders now

You say the heavy words of others smash you into the ground

They say you’re another wanted sign on the telephone pole

There is no hope of it being torn down

You have nothing left, nothing left

So you go to last resort and let the ink sink into the paper

And you say you’ll worry about it later

What about now? Who said your life will be fixed after waiting for that ink to dry up

You will dry up in the ways of the world

Don’t even think about burning this paper of your life

Take the consequences of your actions to the ruler of this world

It’s your fault and people waited for this moment for you

You’ve waited too long
