sick of living gotta wake up every morning and i’m tired all i’m doing here is yawning maybe there’s another reason that i’m in here but i’m feeling like i did it all last year past here is the point that i came in cycle back to the last time i made it need a reason that i’m seeing all this sunshine is it worth it? search it on the back nine stay stuck on the past it’s gone try to dedicate my life to moving on back again it repeats and repeats chasing myself and i’m caught up in a dead heat hi beams shed some light on the subject tell myself i’m alive i ain’t dead yet time ticking on the clock needs to reset sole survivor oh shit i made it but then the years start coming they don’t ever stop how much time will pass before the past will stop? i mean these years they leave a stick in my side all that i can do is go along for the ride and here i go again i’m racing pacing and chasing light beams and i seem complacent through the motions i’m still surviving think back to the time i was thriving wasted daylight evasive all night by starlight erasing all the cases where i lost myself gave up and denied myself the chance to be something i always dreamed of still asking “do i deserve love?” and the answer sits out of reach outside my grasp alone in the street and a car drives by to smash it to pieces years pass and still i’m defeated they cheated hacked through the system don’t just stand there, somebody listen

not wrong i think we need a lesson all we see are undead stars in the heavens just a glimpse of what it could be maybe just what has been only see the past on the horizon know we never could believe this we too busy finding out reasons for grieving for the remains of our probably nots and our oh wells takin up stock of the rocks in our own hell still rollin that boulder ask sisyphus if he ever feels older and when the pain isn’t manageable who can you turn to? why you gotta fuel that fire till it burns you? hey man the way we going off always keep believing the shots are played off we be going dead, put the world to bed cuz it already is in your head stay with me hold it down they say love will save us now stay with me don’t let go we don’t fear what we don’t know stay with me this will end all we need is time to mend stay with me one more day you will see this fade away i came in a bath of stone what you wanted was a lasting home i’m the same man i came back as a lame ass right on top of giving back yo believe that i waited a lot to wake up i was getting by but the brain not up golgotha a man is on his knees like a baby know that he’s mad now and needy maybe we can take off combine the honesty and wrath full stop time to get the pieces and finally be happy and laughing come find me going to keep behind me crazy but come on, don't be lazy bound to earth all day to shame me don’t believe what they say on the rock because they can’t replace the places we got stay with me hold it down they say love will save us now stay with me don’t let go we don’t fear what we don’t know stay with me this will end all we need is time to mend stay with me one more day you will see this fade away

what are they saying? i don’t know is there some meaning in this picture show? are there feelings? or are they all long gone? i just came here to waste some time but it feels like they’ve all wasted mine i keep reading yes, for way too long and there’s people that are looking for answers that they just won’t find cuz the ones who only showed up to argue have all lost their minds doesn’t matter what the subject is everyone’s a critic or a little kid they’ve been waiting to vomit out some words i can tell you what the future holds faceless opinions from the very bold and some hatred mixed with racial slurs i’m glad i finally know what was better to some random guy i don’t know why i read this far down, but i want to cry every article and video there’s always someone who will let you know why you’re stupid and you should probably die thanks obama for these things you’ve done tea party terrorists are just no fun and these libtards they want to tax the sky i probably should throw my pc away into a fiery tomb or try to walk up into mordor, jump into mount doom

so deep cut the walls close up can’t feel the sources of love and all the free madness that you can handle no candle to light things up and when the chain snap and it pull ya back and the pathways set are now shut can you stay sane comin up the same way or were ya planning to give on up when the pain hits your body dies you run a long ass time until you finally cry when ya start slipping and you finally find a door has opened up inside your mind come step into the warm light you can be healed but you still down inside no shield but your level’s up you can fight the harder stuff there’s no escape but now it ain’t so tough just don’t stop if you don’t give up you can reach what you need for us in this cave you can still be saved grab your sword you can still be brave now you slaying a monster same one that held you back but now you living in a world of fact and the simple things are just that and you react the way you wanted to when you collapsed and enemies are trying to bring back the lies they wanna put a flame behind these eyes don’t ever let em burn away those thoughts keep looking for a way to light that spark and one day you gonna find the path and slay that dragon let go of all that extra baggage step forth into a world of light and finally hold your head up to the sky you might remember how the pain felt but now it only helps because you finally can know yourself and now you’re stronger than your demon you see him leaving now still breathing while the light shine down just don’t stop if you don’t give up you can reach what you need for us in this cave you can still be saved grab your sword you can still be brave

The reliability of these findings has been verified.

Benjamin Bear has arrived.
