Undress Rehearsal

I fucking gave everything,
put myself in a place I shouldn't be.
Took a chance trying to acquire
something I cannot see.
Stranded myself at a point I can't escape.
Bring me back now to the surface so I can feel at ease.

Exhausted from all my attempts
of being more and always seen as less.
Write me off this list of disasters.
I am over being mortified.
Let me reach the summit
to look down at my wasted life.
All I desire is a hint of serenity
after all the passion you have taken from me.

You think you can take
all that I've made?
Remember it's another part of me.
I will save
another day
to follow the dreams that will set me free.

You never looked back at my sacrifice.
You never felt everything I lost.
I fucking gave everything,
emptied out all of myself.
Threw away the heart I had.
My failures filling up my lungs,
I'm drowning on my way down.

Denial in giving up on all
I had after losing your trust.
I had faith when this started.
You destroyed all of my hope.
Through these trials
I rise and I'll take back what is mine.

You think you can take
all that I've made?
Remember it's another part of me.
I will save
another day
to follow the dreams that will set me free.
