"Lets see if your blood is as colorful as your attitude!"
-Travis Grantham


It sucks to take the blame when no other will share it
But I’ll take it anyway it’s not mine but I’ll bear it
If you swear it that I’ll be the source of your pain
So no other being has to be the one who gets blamed

I’m untamed,
According to you I haven’t changed
But if I changed how could I be your blooming pain
That you hate
Discriminate against me more
‘Till I get sore, and no more hate can pour from your core.
When its gone,
You’ll get sick, and maybe so will I
But I won’t cry because no matter how much hurt’s inside
I’ll make it hide so peace is as close as it gets
I’ll take it all, give it all, make me your only regret

I might, maybe not, be doing what’s best
But I’m acting as great as I can under stress
If I don’t respond for long see my songs
When my mind goes gone my voice will live on.

I’m on my way to the top
I’m heading non-stop, can’t stop
Drop the beat, lay a few rhymes at your feet
I’m not mean, just showing uncommon courtesy
By saying what you mean to me,
I feel a little more free
And I can be
A little more of who I really am
I needed to make a stand
And I made the stand now here I am
For the world to see,
Now your looking at me
I made some choices, did some things
Just so I could fly free
I’m flying free as can be, with no more laden wings
‘Till a storm blows by and shows its face at me
And knocks me out of the sky
And I’m left wondering why
How could you do this to me?
I was finally free…

Shot down again, tragedy’s my best friend
We go hand-in-hand, and like every other friend
We make blows and take blows and only God from Heaven knows
Why I’m alone, my heart is stone,
Just crush and let it go.
Let me join the wind so I can fly again
Just found out what life is like outside the cage I’m in
No bars or crushing thoughts that like to weigh me down
And nobody but angels soaring around and ‘round.
Yet I’m cast down?
Well grounded you could say, so far to the ground
I can’t see the light of day
Make it through anyway
I won’t be your scapegoat
You put the blame on me though
So I’ll let the pain go

I might, maybe not, be doing what’s best
But I’m acting as great as I can under stress
If I don’t respond for long see my songs
When my mind goes gone my voice will live on.

So am I selfish for wanting to get away
To peel away from the pain
That I feel everyday?
I guess I’m the one to blame
‘Cause I want to have fame
Because I don’t want to deal with it no more
Its all the same.
We all hate,
It’s a weak emotion filled with stronger notions
If you hated me I would show devotion
‘Cause love is the strength I find
It’s a miracle worker
And it will overcome all in time,
Your pain and mine.

This was written shortly after "Never Were" because I was under a great deal of stress and was losing it...
