Looking forward to failure The only hope anyone has to offer, an uphill battle filled with spite Counting allies on one hand, saving the other for punching walls Two steps forward stabbed in the back Start with a laundry list of demands Shattered faith breeds violent hands A shallow hold to start with Gasping for the sweetest breath of life
But once it's inhaled, it's exhaled Drowned in infinite sorrow The little things taste better every day An appetite that can't be satisfied A trial through patience becomes a low expectation Progress and motivation are hinged on perception Circumstance becomes a victim of effort
