BULLETS
Devon Cassells
I used to know a man that could
Now I barely know the boy who’s standing in the place he should
I grew up with sheltered dreams inside a cauldysac
I wish someone had told me that
Your dreams are meant for sleeping in
And no one wants your living them
I used to be a man that would
Before I let myself get tired
Before my confidence had died
I used to be a skinny kid at the front of the bus
Always had a face only a mother could love
Until you told me I was something
And then I went and switch up, gave up, blew it all for nothing
How much longer will hurt
I can't think of nothing worse
Saw my future clear as day
Now it's grey
Now there's blood stains dripping on my new suit
Think I'm getting tired of taking bullets for you
Feels like all these sharp blades are giving me back pains
You don't even notice what your putting me through
I let you down
You haunt me now
You built the bridge
I broke it down
I never know, I'll never know why
Now I'm a ghost that used to be
I wanted more then lost a piece
I'll never know, I'll never know why
