Miles Edward - Dark Room

When did society corrupt the hearts of so many and make us emotionless towards each other and our own feelings
When did it become acceptable to lie to one another with a smile and say, "I'm doing good," day after day when deep down inside you really want to say, "Help me! Life has got me defeated"
When in fact, all you need is a simple hug and someone to just listen to you for a brief moment and show you they truly care
But, no! We are too conditioned and so we believe that we are not important enough to be heard. And that no one wants to hear us vent because it's considered bitching and complaining
Has society really made us so bitter towards one another that we can walk by an individual crying and not stop for a moment and ask them, "Hey, are you okay"
But moments later we'll write on their Facebook saying, "RIP," because they decided to commit suicide because they felt alone and trapped
When did it become okay for anyone to feel alone or become the victim of the life and the brutality that comes with it
It just shocks me how so many of us say we are children of the book - Christian, Catholics, Muslims, Jews - but yet cannot lend a helping hand to someone in need
And then, we'll go to service feeling good about ourselves
Society has corrupted the minds and hearts of so many
So much so that love no longer exists in human beings
Or does it
Yea
I'm afraid of myself
Cuz lately, it's like I made a fucking slave of myself
Forced to sit alone on the top shelf
Wrestle with my thoughts
Looking like I'm fin to forfeit my belt
I'm holding on by a thread
As I lean over the edge
Grabbing on the ledge
These words become my fucking pledge
If I die tomorrow
I wonder who gon' feel the sorrow
I wonder who gon' feel the sorrow
Check my phone, wonder who's up that I can call
Like, do I mean anything at all
Do I serve a purpose or am I as naive as they come
Does my mind need this beat down like a drum
Do I really need more liquor added to this rum
As my heart beats to the rhythm of this song
I sit and look back at everything I've done
Analyze my traits
May this be the realest shit I ever made to date
Cuz the future's so uncertain
The keeper of so many secrets
And to pull back the curtain
Gotta reach your outer limits
And hope you don't lose your mind
'Fore the buried treasure gets revealed
Life is too short to keep your thoughts sealed
Behind your lips, you grind your teeth
In anger and dismay knowing that your voice ain't heard
So there's nothing left to say
I just dream about the life I swear I'll have one day, yea
So I dream about the life I swear I'll have one day soon
Planting seeds, hoping that some beauty blooms
Wanna hit the ground running
But I'm only running off of fumes
Hate to paint a picture of certain doom
But what else am I gon' do
This is what I'm going through
I tried to kick it chill
But this shit flew out of control
As the wind blew
Envision my vision blurred
A tad bit skewed
Blindness on cue
Between me myself and I
There's a big feud
Over what I thought I knew
Analyze me closely like I'm set on zoom
And you'll find, that what's on my mind
There's nothing one could say or do
I just gotta get through
To the other side like I'm resting in a tomb
I know it gets better once I wish away the gloom
And as I wish away the gloom
I write another tune
To let a kid know that I'm going through it too
If he could bump it on his way to school
Maybe that'll do
He could show it to his crew
Maybe they might need it too
Inspire them to do
What they always wanted to
Allow them to realize that their dreams could come true
It doesn't even matter
How low your point of view
Everyone the same height
when they're kneeling at the pew
Still, I hate to stand by and watch this darkness ensue
As it looms over me sitting in this dark room
Just know
Whatever you going through right now
Whatever you might be thinking
About yourself, about the world
Whatever the case may be
Just know that this, this will pass
Just keep telling yourself that
This will pass
