mikelwj - rise above lyrics

michael:
i really don’t know jacquie, i’ve been asking myself those same things for a little while now

[verse one: mikelwj]
i think it’s time to express all of the thoughts i repress
since i can only get past it once it’s off of my chest
i’m bitter, hollow, depressed, a shallow, intricate mess
while other people make me feel like a perpetual pest
i gave them every single inch of what i saw as my best
only to come to understand i was miles behind the rest
i saw a door begin to open that i thought would be safe
but when i walked in the room, the door just slammed in my face
godd-mn i’m sick of this place, just like the whole human race
i was way too weak to run, but still got thrown in the chase
now i’ve been working hard as h-ll, while seeing little prosperity
and everyone that i love is showing such little sincerity
i’ve been hurting myself, but not to cry out for help
since every time that i cried, these people questioned my health
i only opened my soul, but pressure took on its toll
and now i’m paying for the sins of the withered and old

[chorus: mikelwj]
i don’t want you seeing my face, i don’t feel that good these days
i don’t want you saying my name, nothing ever feels the same
i don’t want you hearing my voice, though i know i have no choice
i don’t want you bringing me down, every time you’re not around

[verse two: mikelwj]
this life of mine is lonely, there’s no one to come and hold me
there’s no love from all the people who i once considered holy
there’s no words upon a paper that can tell you what i think
but the thought’s inside my head are always causing me to sink
i’m always gasping for another breath, hoping maybe one is left
i don’t want to die, but i’m really not afraid of death
i tried to give the whole world the benefit of the doubt
since they may have never known that i was feeling left out
i’m a little melodramatic, half of the time i’m manic
but i keep it in my head since most people are pr-ne to panic
i don’t want to be obscene, and i’m not trying to make a scene
so i put it all on paper, tell the whole world that it’s me
i tried to reason it out, simply through word of the mouth
but i didn’t gain much except my mood going south
and a case of insomnia, don’t know what that’s about
but it also leaves a bittersweet taste in my mouth

[verse three]
they’re telling me i gotta try and rise above all this sh-t
–
then they say rising above doesn’t mean calling it quits
–
so i just need another chance to show the world what i got
to bathe in basic reflections of all the things that i thought
i’m only being a pest so that they’ll start working harder
to try and salvage the friendships that i’m willing to martyr
if it’ll teach them a lesson, well then it’s worth the aggression
because i never once wanted to consider secession
all of these feelings are bad, put pen and pencil to pad
to preserve all of the feelings that i always have had
i’m drenched in meaningless sorrow, hoping i’ll see you tomorrow
but if i don’t, do you have some happy that i can borrow
i’m having trouble believing, laughing turned into grieving
all of my friends here are leaving, without a mention of meaning
so let me hear your excuse, for why it’s my turn to lose
but promise that you won’t be angry for the choices i choose
we can go our own ways, we’ll never be quite the same
and i promise that you won’t forget the sound of my name

jacquie:
well. i think it’s time for me to go now. i’ll just leave you alone

michael:
really? after you were so interested in hearing about my thoughts?

jacquie:
yes. i said i would go after you told me, so now it is time for me to go. i’ll see you later. have a good rest of the night

michael:
yeah, i’ll try and do that
