This is Life

Broken heart, crushed dreams
All your hopes, ripped at the seems

Another pill, another toke
Another drink, and its all a joke

One mistake made, one child burned
One tear cried, one lesson learned

A fist made, a mother falls
Somewhere in the dark, her child calls

A loved one dies, black all around
Say the last prayer, fall to the ground

I have been through this life, I have cried all my tears
It's time to move on, to have no more fears

I'll own my scars, they do not own me
I'll no longer follow, I'll take the lead
