The Nullification

A rap-rock song I wrote about dealing with insecurities and helping others overcome those fears.

[Verse 1]

Tension's building up inside,

Your throat keeps getting dry,

You feel like backing out,

But you won't know until you try.

Insecurities collide,

Tracks of hope you cannot find,

Tomorrow brings respite,

But in today lies your bind.

[Chorus]

Get out, get out, get out,

You wanna get out of this shell.

Get out, get out, get out,

It's time to run from your hell.

Push the mind aside,

Swallow broken pride,

Don't let your future hold a doubt,

Now's the moment of getting out.

[Verse 2]

Pieces slowly form a whole,

Words carved into the stone,

Unleashing it all out

Means skinning to the bone.

Anxiety left behind,

Reduced to grains of dust,

Truth lighting darkest roads,

And burning all mistrust.

[Chorus]

Get out, get out, get out,

You wanna get out of this shell.

Get out, get out, get out,

It's time to run from your hell.

Push the mind aside,

Swallow broken pride,

Don't let your future hold a doubt,

Now's the moment of getting out.

[Bridge/Rap]

Get out, it's the conclusion of that story,

Keep your head up even if you didn't win the glory,

I'm sorry, I know the battle has been gory,

But this time around there's no ending as the quarry.

You are the winner, despite what world may think,

Pull the sleeve of those who grieve and do not let them sink,

It's the brink, destruction, the Earth near its end,

But only for those whose look shows entering the realm of pretend.

Get out!

[Chorus]

Get out, get out, get out,

You wanna get out of this shell.

Get out, get out, get out,

It's time to run from your hell.

Push the mind aside,

Swallow broken pride,

Don't let your future hold a doubt,

Now's the moment of getting out.

Author's Note

I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Those lines just came to me, so I spent the last hour or so putting it all together, and the result is this! :D
Anyways, people usually ask you to be nice when reviewing some of their stuff they particularly like, but I won't do that - I want you to be fully honest with me and tell me if you think it sucks or something. No hard feelings.
Thank you!
P.S. I think this should be in the "lyrics" genre, since this is a song, but I still put it into "poetry" xD
