Iron Expectations

This heart will escape the iron expectations

This heart beating inside this chest.

In

and

out.

 

In

and

out.

 

Thin

and

hollow.

 

So many mistakes that can't be talked about,

so many reasons that can't be figured out.

 

Give it just a little bit of love,

it'll take it just like a drug.

Swallowed inside an addiction

because it's comfortable.

 

Paint away the past

with the hope of a future.

Maybe write another impossible story.

 

Maybe climb just a little higher

so the impact is just that much harder

from jumping off the edge.

 

Pages flying by,

cutting into the veins,

spilling out the truth,

until the problem is drained dry.

Finally found a place where insanity

makes sense.

 

Rather be broken and defeated

instead of taking a risk.

Chance has abandoned the heart before,

just don't want to hurt anymore.

So the heart won't even try to breathe

again.

 

The heart will escape the iron expectations.

No more failure, no more frustration.

Gripping --- the way this goes about...the sincere aspirations here...jump out for you to consume...with each intake and outtake as you --- start off in the beginning...the sheer depth of this goes a long way from ordinary...
