When We Are Forced To Stand Our Ground

When we are forced to stand our ground Because someone is out of bounds When you find yourself wanting to rebound feeling like you have to stand your ground Realizing your personal space Has turned into a battleground Taking the conversation southbound Just hoping the situation doesn't compound Before I know it's full-on aggression One of life's hardest lessons When you get bitten by the Devils venom Looking to God in heaven Hoping my engine will stop revin Uncontrollable waves of word lashing Surpassing my ability to stop us from crashing When your character is attacked by an assassin Making it impossible to ignore this full-on bashing Feeling your temperature rise As the blood fills your eyes Believing that you're way to wise Looking for a compromise Knowing that taking it any further will jeopardize Our friendship if we both don't empathize Our hostile situation That has my heart full on racing With all this back and forth pacing Making sure you're facing this threat Trying not to do anything you will regret Looking them directly in their eyes Barking out how this leads to our friendship demise Apparently, we are unable to stop the decay When I feel it all slipping away So sad I was unable to convey How out of hand this runaway day Found its own pathway That left me feeling betrayed So all that is left is to pray For God to make it all go away To help us fix it like it was yesterday
