No Peace
Stop searching for peace where peace does not exist
From people who expect, take, and insist
In the arms of those stealing your yes’s
With all these yes’s your life is full of messes
You give and give, and what do you take?
Is there anything left on the dinner plate?
There’s nothing left to give you gave yourself away
“You’re so kind and generous” That’s what you want them to say
They’re thieves in the night looking for scraps
But you gave them more, your life's a wrap
You destroyed your home building theirs
When will you realize they don’t care?
You resent them when they don’t reciprocate
When you carry the group and the heavyweight
What do you have left at the end of the day?
No Thank You cards, no appreciation, you got played
What scares you so much?
Does your little brain have a hunch?
That they won’t like what they see?
That they won’t approve of who you might be?
Stop hiding in the bushes and be who you are
Who cares what they think, don’t lower the bar
Say yes to yourself and forget the rest
Stop playing this game, you’re failing the test
