More Than Nameless

I will survive. I had it all figured out

A career, a future, I had no doubts

I was never a stranger to substance

I never thought it would end up like this

Watching the best of your life slip through your hands and pass you by

Constantly reminded that you've clipped your wings and can no longer fly

Time wasted on hearts of stone and stares that cut my flesh

Please tell me there is more to this

Lift me up so I can see

Past the darkness inside of me

Show me who I'm meant to be

I know that I'm worth saving

Lift me up, 'cause I'm worth saving

Show me hope and lift me up

This is my cry

This is my cry, let me feel cared for

This is my cry. Let them see who I really am

The world needs to know that I'm more than just failed aspirations

I am more than nameless

I've been spit on, I've been cast away

I am more than decay

You'll never hold me down

Rise up

I'm not nameless

I was once a great man with so much to gain

But now you call me scum, with nowhere to turn

I don't care what you say

I will pick myself up and survive today
