Strain

How much can you take
Now I come to see the inevitable break
Only cracks to some makes other’s mountains shake
But the sum of the constant drone and drum results in the quake of breathless lungs and the snap of a mind too tightly strung
How much can you take
Soul of the muse that this harsh world abuse and you the betrayed just left confused and afraid to make a mistake
Like your whole life a fuse and this pain you didn’t choose just waiting to blow up in your face
How much can you take
Not if, but when approaching the bend fly off once again rise from the dirt begin to mend you’re just counting the days
Until the end good thing you got friends to spend the time and navigate the maze
And your own strength the only truth the only true tool to use to shield a brutally murdered youth that we cry out to reclaim
How much can you take
As much as it takes
Until it’s done
