Alcatraz (Acceptance Stage)

from Shakespeare by Ambush Vin

/

about

There is a light at the end of this tunnel.

Acceptance doesn’t mean that you’ve moved on yet. But, it does mean that you’ve come to terms with the loss, and what it means to your future. You may still be grieving your loss at this stage, but that’s not unusual. Don’t slip back into depression because you think that you’re not wired right!

You will begin to look at things differently than you did in the previous four stages. Remember, life is all about growth, and growth is a process. You should be proud of yourself! You escaped Alcatraz, and now you’re like, “Hello, world! You threw everything you had at me, but I’m still here!”

Now, there will be more good days than bad. But, you have a reason to be excited! You have your entire life ahead of you. Move forward with your head up and claim your happiness.

lyrics

I feel so trapped these memories won't fade
I keep thinking where did it go wrong
But I gotta face all my demons I can't get away
Forgive Yourself for accepting it and move on

The universe's way of being cruel is when you still got love for the one who made you look like a damn fool
No matter what they do you forgive and keep movin and all the time they could only see you as a tool
When you seen who they really was behind that image they project to hide they insecurity
And you disappointed more than hurt cause you support the jerk and they dreams priority over your own needs
Hearts bleed cause you seeing what you want instead of reality you see the opposite
Hypnotized by potential that you can see but this version that you got is a ruff composite
Of an unfinished self-portrait that you not painting accept that the artist may never finish
You dedicated to a shell of memories and it's hard to see when you blind don't reminiscence
Take the red pill and see the real world for the first time all the time that you spent wasn't wasted
It's a lesson learned and I don't feel burned earned the right to be loved shouldn't never have to chase it
I could taste revenge that I wanna get but don't get satisfaction from her hurting
It feels worse cause I thought I healed in between steps 4 and 5 but old feelings still lurking
Take a step back re-assess then decide that I need to leave but my loyalty
Is a weakness even though hers wasn't there and I know it cause it's rare that I felt like royalty
Hope ya story be good in the end and your friends motivate you to reach for the stars
Avoid distractions push you up past where they are I no longer live behind bars

I feel so trapped these memories won't fade
I keep thinking where did it go wrong
But I gotta face all my demons I can't get away
Forgive Yourself for accepting it and move on

I feel so trapped these memories won't fade
I keep thinking where did it go wrong
But I gotta face all my demons I can't get away
Forgive Yourself for accepting it and move on

It's hard to escape when you been here a long time you not innocent but didn't do the crime
At first fingers-point but then you realize you your own judge and you giving yourself time
Chain gotta crack but it ain't broke yet you got false hope but you ain't smoked yet
When you deep in your thoughts you going see the logic let it go and do not resurrect
Compromised who I was for a long time lived in darkness but all the time I'm still learning
But I had to choose to see the lesson for myself even when I got help still felt myself burning
Wondering what could I do different at first I accepted all the blame I allowed
Myself to accept bad behavior I realized it took two to get where we at now
Feel like I released all my stored semen time ta forgive myself for this self treason
See the reason why you projecting self-inspection is the first step to beat your demons
But you gotta wanna make the first move as long as you don't you the only one lose
I accept your apology but I held the door open for years you just had to walk through
I don't hate you hope you find peace and release all that anger just let it go
We both did the best that we could with the tools available so I'd rather walk down the high road
I'm thankful for the time we had together but we gotta move on time to leave
Hopefully you accept that cherish the memories both walk away with maturity

I feel so trapped these memories won't fade
I keep thinking where did it go wrong
But I gotta face all my demons I can't get away
Forgive Yourself for accepting it and move on

I feel so trapped these memories won't fade
I keep thinking where did it go wrong
But I gotta face all my demons I can't get away
Forgive Yourself for accepting it and move on
