Burdened with expectations
We embellish it with thousand walls
Hate admitting we are broken down
Ignoring when we fall
Captains of a sinking ships or kings of a fallen throne
Never seem to face the fact
All choices gone but one
Embrace the fall, when we sink or when we crawl
The time has come to strive
Failing sometimes feels more alive
Find some strength that's left inside
And surface with a fight
Face up with the beatings
Bury your fists in stone
Meet the truth with smile and greetings
Admit and overcome
Embrace the fall
"This was written in a rough period of my life when I lost perspective on everything and I was trying to force certain situations and I didn't realize that I have reached the bottom along the process. I refused to admit I’ve lost the battle and I was just holding on to the scattered pieces that my life has become. Only by admitting defeat we can start over. Only by admitting that we’ve lost the battle we can continue the war."
