Tempered; Not Tamed

Have you seen yourself?

Take a limit and push it for your health

If nothing more

What lives inside

Takes more to deny than just my pride

Nine times for four

I'm feeling certain that I have been denied

What's given good

It's not a question of half-baked traumatized

It's just a question of should

Did it ever occur?

Should I throw some light onto something slurred?

Uncovered and heard

Steal a moment's thought

Parasites are the worst afflicted

Second handed shot

I'm feeling certain that I have been denied

What's given good

It's not a question of half-baked traumatized

It's just a question of should

And my confusion is all a bit paranoid

And maybe that's a lie

Persistent reasoning all within a void

It's not that I don't try

I have nowhere to be seen right now

I have no expectations of my wheres and how

I cannot see your right hand, cannot see your face

It's like I'm running stationary from this place

I'm waiting for the option to come and take me down

I want to be corrected by the ones that are renowned

Terrified persuasion can't relieve me from this scene

I'm waiting for denial of where I think I've been

I'm feeling certain that I have been denied

What's given good

It's not a question of half-baked traumatized

It's just a question of should

And my confusion is all a bit paranoid

And maybe that's a lie

Persistent reasoning all within a void

It's not that I don't try
