Rolled Up Dollar Bills

Do you have the strength to go on

Their backs have turned on you and gone away

This shoulder has grown cold

I'm all alone

This battle might be over but the war has just begun

I wear these scars like armour it's adorning me

Can't shut them out demons haunting sleep

Compelled to run still there when I wake up

Triggered by an ever present sound

Need my feet on solid ground

Why can't we fight the impulse

I'm reaching out grasp at arms that won't catch me

Disappearing friendships cast amongst the debris

Irises glazed and my face kisses cold concrete

The daily grind serves to cast you out

Sedation no moderation

Shoulders whispering secrets to my ears

Held hostage to the voice I hear egging me along

These agreements I've bound to myself can be undone

No longer searching for validation in anyone

Now I feel alive connect with myself and walking with pride

Today I leave, I leave it all behind

Feed the hungry wolves

Have the strength to go on

Or come what may

When you can't dispel

Roll the bill

Roll the bill

Roll the bill

Roll the bill

Have the strength to go or come what may

When you can't dispel the need to roll the bill
