Pride

The ego in our heads
is the real burden we carry,
the weight of our persona
never able to be ourselves,
to be free of your opinion
seems so easy on the surface,
but deep down inside
I don’t want you to see me.... to see me
I’ve told so many lies
that they have become the truth
so long with this disguise
I’ve forgotten what my face looks like
I’ve told so many lies
they now follow me
all of this pride
will be my demise
I have put up these walls
called success, fame, and happiness
I have hidden my struggles
you can only see the best of the best
I can’t show you my fragile frame
because I know you’ll only topple me over
can’t show you any weakness
if I lose once, it’s all over.
(Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more than the next man. It is the comparison that makes you proud. The pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition is gone, the pride is gone.
A proud man is always looking down on things and people, and of course, as long as you’re looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.) - C.S. Lewis
You will be my demise
You will be my demise
I will be my demise
I will be my demise
Pride is pleasure
arising from a man
thinking too highly
of himself.

Wrath

Always feeling disrespected
the rage leaves me disconnected
the fury that drives me
I cant be alone with me
and my, thoughts
My feelings I cannot control
my anger turns to loneliness
and I am left, cold and alone
I cannot blame the others for this
and yet somehow I do
I feel so perpetually
disrespected by you
disrespected by you
Waking up
seeing red
that anxious feeling
wanting everybody dead.
It’s powerful
I cannot move
I cannot breath
I cannot choose.
Rejecting patience
that we should feel for others.
Rejecting love
That we should feel for others.
My wrath comes
Full circle

Gluttony
07:19
|

|
Genetics loads the gun
environment pulls the trigger
we’re all filled with desire
but for some, it’s something bigger
a coping mechanism
that has kept me safe
it’s provided security
through all of your distaste
I feel so empty
why can’t you fill me one more time
I feel so empty
one more bite, one more piece of mind
There is a hole in me
that is never filled
I feel so empty
the craving never killed
all you do is laugh
as this shame consumes me
but you don’t know what it’s like
controlled by gluttony
I feel so empty
you let me down one more time
I feel so empty
when I’m gone, you’ll have your piece of mind
Moderation is key
words used to patronize me
how can I moderate
this feeling of empty
moderation is key
words used on me guilt free
how can I stop killing myself
you won’t let me be

Time is equal opportunity
there is no more for sale
when you look back on your life
regret is worse then fail
every failure is a lesson learned
others opinions will only drag you down.
Get up and fight, with all your might
don’t let it bring you down
Procrastination
You may delay but time will not
and you just wither away
every day is a gift
don’t ever waste it all away
all I know is that
fear is what is getting in your way
don’t sit around, smash your goals
don’t put it off another day
Concentrate all your thoughts
on the task at hand
doing nothing is worse then doing
the best that you can
don’t allow your disappointments
and doubts to slow you down.
Get up and fight, with all your might
don’t let it bring you down
Procrastination
is the thief of time
Analysis paralysis
will make a slave out of you!
Take the time to deliberate,
plan carefully
it’s your destiny, it’s your destiny
It’s your destiny
Analysis paralysis
will make a slave out of you!

Greed
07:15
|

My soul,
ruined by avarice
my nature,
doesn’t know what to do with this
My soul, greed is driving me.
There is no calamity
greater then lavish desire
no greater guilt then discontent
I want more, take me higher
I am a rich man
buried in a paupers grave
a lack of confidence
or a material slave
Greed is the driving spirit
of our civilization
the only thing I had growing up
was humiliation
I promised myself
wealth for generations
I will overcome
despite my frustrations
A fortune at the cost of conscience
is failure to those around me
I pursue pleasure with such haste,
the finish line I cannot see.
Wealth is like sea water
the more I drink, the thirstier I become.
The thirstier I become
All of my selfish desires
wealth and the power it brings.
Wealth and the power it brings
Embrace simplicity
Greed is a bottomless pit
which exhausts a man in endless effort

Envy
07:11
|

|
I tie happiness
to the things that I possess
if you have more then I do
that must mean my life is such a mess
how can I ever feel complete
consumed by jealousy
I work until my fingers bleed
and nothing is ever given to me
All of my desires can be achieved
when will be my time to receive
I must have faith, I must believe
I wear this envy on my sleeve
Jealousy is so ugly
You have everything I’ve ever wanted
I feel uncomfortable in my own skin
I feel surpassed and I don’t know why
I always thought we were akin.
As a child I was your equal
there was love between you and I
but as we grow, and we drift apart
you have everything, and I should die
I wear my envy on my sleeve. (3x)
That same sleeve is bloody
from trying to cut you out of me.
Jealousy is so ugly
All of this envy
has consumed me
I’m have trouble breathing
all I feel is jealousy
