I fought who I am inside
|
|
Until I wanted, I wanted to die
|
|
Instead of finding balance I found hatred
|
|
Consumed by failures and ignoring my own strengths
|
|
Pushed out to sea without learning to swim
|
|
Or stranded in the desert with no lungs to breathe
|
|
|
|
With no lungs to breathe
|
|
I had almost lost everything
|
|
|
|
How can I be expected to readily be content
|
|
With a view of life that has rejected
|
|
The basis of what has helped me to survive?
|
|
And replaced them with precepts
|
|
Rather than instruction
|
|
Full rule is an illusion (illusion)
|
|
All I can do is contain selfishness
|
|
And unveil what little power we may have
|
|
|
|
With no lungs to breathe
|
|
I had almost lost everything (everything)
|
|
|
|
Tearing away my flesh before taking
|
|
The time to understand it
|
|
A miracle may not be the answer
|
|
(tearing away my flesh)
|
|
When anchoring first on what I have
|
|
(before taking the time to understand it)
|
|
The ability to change
|
|
|
|
Like being stranded in the desert
|
|
With no lungs to breathe
|
|
|
|
With no lungs to breathe
|
|
I had almost lost everything (everthing)
|
|
|
