Catharsis

It's summer, so they say
 I sit and watch the sunlight turn from red to grey
 One look backward, the image is fractured
 I never thought I'd get this far when every step treads in the shards
 A journey incomplete, I pull the glass out of my feet
 And put back the pieces like broken bones healing
 So what does it matter
 So what does it matter when pieces I gather
 Are torn up and scattered
 I crack, snap, and shatter my bones
 Feel my skin turn to stone again
 Affliction's left its mark on me
 My temper vapid and heartless
 Submission force-feeds my apathy
 But every breath is catharsis
 Cautious and optimistic
 Life fucks me up sometimes, but I don't want to miss it
 And I'm wading through this bull shit
 And I meant it when I said it
 Life will eat you if you let it
 So what does it matter when pieces I gather
 Are torn up and scattered
 I crack, snap, and shatter my bones
 Feel my skin turn to stone again
 Affliction's left its mark on me
 My temper vapid and heartless
 Submission force-feeds my apathy
 But every breath is catharsis
 All cut and sewn, so overgrown
 I am the rocks on the shore
 Your waves always break over me
 Unmoved by heartache and stone to the core
 I gave up trying to run away
 It's with me every step I take
 Rise to my feet
 This earth will never know my knees
 (All cut and sewn)
 My temper vapid and heartless
 (So overgrown)
 But every breath is catharsis
 I am the rocks on the shore (all cut and sewn)
 Your waves always break over me
 Unmoved by heartache and stone to the core
 I gave up trying to run away (so overgrown)
 It's with me every step I take
 Rise to my feet (but every step is catharsis)
 This earth will never know my knees
