Stuck in Forward by Melodie Yvonne

Sometimes things break
Sometimes I break
I’m just as fragile as people

Sometimes I fall
And can’t get back up
Trampled by all of the sheeple

Sometimes I just drink
And can’t find myself
Gettin’ lost in all of the “equals”

Sometimes I just cry
And I don’t know why
My toxicity toeing on lethal

Sometimes I stop thinkin’
Ignore all the truths
And get stuck in an unending free fall

I think I need help
I think I need a savior
But Jesus is hid by his people

So sometimes I hide
I just wanna die
But I’d probably wind up a shit beetle

So I’ll just keep goin’
Blind full speed ahead
Like Snowman bound and down in his diesel

Then one day with a blink
Again I start to sink
And I’m right back in my nightmare’s sequel

Sometimes things break
Sometimes I break
Once again I’m as fragile as people

And then I fall
And can’t get back up
Stuck in forward, tires spinnin’ in evil

So then I just drink
And then I lose myself
And get lost in all of my “equals”
