The place just beyond my eyes, where my spirit flies.

You think you’re so smart don't you?
Sitting there with the scar tissue under you eyes
Bled crimson tears turning your shirt into medical waste
Are you willing to bleed to surpass the presidents?
Be King of all and rule over injustice?
Do you even know why you’re bleeding?
What cause in which you believe?
No, you're just there to bask in the glow
Of someone who once cared
You practice but are you ready to die?
Didn't think so, you aren't ready to be true to yourself
To practice what you preach
And die for your beliefs
Just like Goldilocks you filched from the 3 bears
And just like that you've stolen from me
You took by leading one way and living another
Wake up! Look at your reflection, it's calling you
Looking at the mirror it aint so pretty is it?
This is what you've become
Rotting flesh and crass exhilaration
You cry blood now, not because you truly believe
But because it's too late and your already dying.

VERY well written, I just didn't like the term "medical waste".
