this young lad, walking down the street like he's no man
his head sunk to the floor, his life is a slow jam
a shuffle in his feet, muffled in his speech
a kid in his own world struggling for peace
he seeks rebellion staring down conformity
normally he wears makeup and acts accordingly
to the artists he feels so deeply
to these street kids he seems a bit freaky
so often the victim of adjectives
as a passifist hes tries hard to get past this shit
with the banter comes another chapter
groups of kids laughter pushing at his character
its hard to keep on walking as words resonate
he hesitates but decides to keep a steady pace
hes already faced adversity and strife
he'd be worsening his life by turning to his vice
but sometimes the guys attack
and he succombs to the fists and feet
laying on the floor admits defeat.
now he's hit hes weak, he will drift all week
hiding in the shadows from the pricks that beat
self loathing into his system
to beat him down and try break his shell open
hes now lost hope, he's worse than should be
he's got less confidence than anyone could see

HOOK:
as lives coincide, the flow of minds
is disrupted by those who are showing signs
of influence from another surrounding life
so whys the world crumble all around this guy
