Storm Gates - A Lullaby for the Lost Kids

I'm so sick of feeling like a fucking slave to my woes
I try to keep 'em at bay but most nights I fold
Feel like I'm losing control of all the pain that I hold
I know sooner or later I've gotta bare my soul
It's the middle of the summer but I feel so cold
Cause nowhere in this city really feels like home
I'm surrounded by these friends and yet I feel so alone
Baby, I need you by my side, it's not the same through my phone
You're the girl of my dreams, you and me, we're a team
And you know how much I hate it when you're not here next to me
You been providing the shade and now I'mm feeling the heat
And I been feeling ashamed, I know I can't compete
With the person that everybody expects me to me
Can't you see I'm filled with stress from my head to my feet
I don't know what happens next, I'm on the edge of my seat
But my heart bleeds for you every time that it beats
And listen little homie, I been thinking of you
I can't say I know exactly what it is you're going through
Feeling like nobody get's you but I promise I do
All that pain that you're feeling, know that I'm feeling it too
It's like you're crying out for help but they can't hear a sound
Tears streaming down your face as you cover your mouth
People don't know what they have 'til it's laying in the ground
Just enjoy being a kid, keep your head in the clouds
And mama, I'm sorry 'bout my temper
Remember that I cherish you but sometimes I can't take the pressure
That's why I took like time to write you all this open letter
So I can let the people know that I'm trying to be better
And I'm sorry ****
I love you but you treat me like a fuck up
When you get up in my face and try to tell me that it's tough love
Well, tough luck, the ball's in your court now 'cause I'm done
Spent forever trying to chase you, all that's left to do is run
Cause I'm sick of just stewing
Like "what the fuck am I doing?"
They see me looking so clueless
I can't do this, I been through it
So I keep myself secluded
Buried my soul in the music
It's happiness I'm pursuing
Just give me time and I'll prove it
And for everybody hearing this a listening in
To the ones who're trying to crawl up out the hole that they're in
I promise all this shit gets better, try to find it within
You've shed way too many tears just to let these fuckers win
