1. MR. STRUGGLE

Breathing at a heightened rate the air is cold and yet I swelter
There is no hiding from the dark
I have to try and concentrate when not alone and sheltered
So as not to lose it

Don't punish me for what I've done
My heart and mind are not at one
It's gonna break me
A compound destined to combust
A two way street with one way trust
Has turned the ground once solid to dust

Diving sinking deeper
Listen now listen oh
Some things take time though it's a shame
I'm not equipped to play your game
I can't convince you that this isn't black and white

This is my fault to some extent
You spoke the truth I understand
I may be Mr. Struggle
But I needed you to stay and weather all the trouble

For what I've done
My heart and mind are not at one
It's gonna break me
A compound destined to combust
A two way street with one way trust
Has turned the ground once solid to dust

My life constricts around my throat
My senses come adrift
And if I stay without direction
With everything as is
How can I look at my reflection
A man who looks like this

Don't punish me for what I've done
My punishment's what I've become
I can't escape me
I need somebody I can trust
An eye to look beyond my past
The ground once solid turns into dust

This day I stay you leave
The only constant that I know is me
The only constant that I know is me
Me
