Eric Dutton - Exit Strategy

Disappointed, but my pen explodes
With the ink and glow when I sit and throw this
Stuff at a wall, thinking it can grow into all of my dreams
But then I wish for more
And I figure that my time is expired
No more rhymes lift me higher
The fire inside extinguished, this the ride of my life
Every page given meaning when I try to be kind
To others and to myself, I fail on the latter
Going off the edge like the rails didn't matter
Every step I take, every breath I make
Every mistake I end up not forgiving myself for
Another wedge lodged in between my loved ones and I
Lightning in the clouds brings the thunder alive
A little child inside, because I run and I hide
But this my anthem, listen for the hundredth time, like
That thunderstorm is in my soul
Same schemes, same brain, same weed, same pain
Pray trees, make faith, take me, freight train
Wait, see, same breeze, shake leaves, hang me
From the top of the totem, the podium sitting angry
Cause I'm cold with the polls, frozen and waiting to vote
Like the Republican majority will dangle the rope
And the Democrats will smile, we remain in the scope
Forever this two party, it's a dangerous road
But I diverge from it, and now my words plummet
'Cause now I spurn summits, 'cause then I'd sure tunnel
My vision to the bottom of the every rocky descent
I mean I ain't pulling my punches, I got Rocky intent
Frozen flows so cold it's like the Rockies ascent
But I ain't buying what they selling, I'm a cop to my sins
I hope it wipes my slate clean
I need that to gleam
Is this the way
Is this the way
Is this the way to get this weight off my shoulders
Is this the way
I've been lost inside my mind
I've been giving it all this time
Still can't see where my light shine
I guess my faith is that it's hitting at the right time
I don't think I wanna fade out
Heart stolen, a bandit how we made out
In the middle snuff the flame out
I was sinking then but now I'm feeling weighed down
