Catharsis - Trash Boat, T, RAS

It’s summer, so they say

I sit and watch the sunlight turn from red to grey

One look backward, the image is fractured

I never thought I’d get this far when every step treads in the shards

A journey incomplete, I pull the glass out of my feet

And put back the pieces like broken bones healing

So what does it matter

So what does it matter when pieces I gather

Are torn up and scattered

I crack, snap, and shatter my bones

Feel my skin turn to stone again

Affliction’s left its mark on me

My temper vapid and heartless

Submission force feeds my apathy

But every breath is catharsis

Cautious & optimistic

Life fucks me up sometimes but I don’t want to miss it

I’m still wading through this bull shit

And I meant it when I said it

Life will eat you if you let it

So what does it matter

So what does it matter when pieces I gather

Are torn up and scattered

I crack, snap, and shatter my bones

Feel my skin turn to stone again

Affliction’s left its mark on me

My temper vapid and heartless

Submission force feeds my apathy

But every breath is catharsis

All cut and sewn, so overgrown

I am the rocks on the shore

Your waves always break over me

Unmoved by heartache and stone to the core

I gave up trying to run away

It’s with me every step I take

Rise to my feet

This earth will never know my knees

(All cut and sewn)

My temper vapid and heartless

(So overgrown)

But every breath is catharsis

I am the rocks on the shore, (All cut and sewn)

Your waves always break over me

Unmoved by heartache and stone to the core

I gave up trying to run away (So overgrown)

It’s with me every step I take

Rise to my feet (But every step is catharsis)

This earth will never know my knees
