Life is the struggle of trying to survive.
Money makes a difference, like having 1 eye in a world of the blind.
When your broke its hard just trying to survive.
almost as hard as it is to not loose my mind.
1 of the reasons i like to get high.
I am forced to fight every day and every night.
but i dont know where i can lay my head tomorrow night.
so alright? i dont know, maybe, i might
of i am lucky ill see next week.
all i know is that right now i got to boost this shit or i am not gonna get to eat.
i just want to take a seat.
i have been walking in circles for 3 days with nowhere to go and im dead on my feet.
Walking with a good woman who doesnt want to be here with me.
she talks so much shit i wish she would leave.
but shits dead so i am not gonna waste my breathe trying to speak.
and i know your gonna leave.
So on top of being in these streets i feel like im bout to wake from a bad dream
alone in the dark my soul lost to the infinity
of all the wasted opportunities.
panic sets in and its hard to breathe
even if she is a nightmare i pray she doesnt leave.
I might not always want but i always need
her voice to drown out the sound of the demons that have been hounding me.
looking back i cant even begin to tell you how it got so fucked up.
when i think about all that i lost i cant help but to feel disgust
hell i dont even know what to say
without sounding ashamed or worse like im placing blame
nothing will ever be the same
and I'll never hide the scars or be able to disguise the pain.
i fell victim to the game
or at least the taxes you gotta pay
im trying to prolong the moment hoping she will stay
knowing that when my sack runs out she is gonna bounce that same day
hard to wrap my head around it
cant even say shit about it
nothing changed it the same as i found it
thats just how it sounded
but i dont want to fight so just forget about it.
walking down a long cold winding road
barren and empty because i am all alone
empty because the crystal devoured my soul
left a hole i could not ever fill so i will never again be whole
ill be honest im grateful for the cold...
lets me pretend im not alone
the ache of it is the closest thing to a friend i have ever known
lost because i have never had a home
mad because i am smart enough to see how many real chances i have blown
almost as many chances as the number of empty dreams i have sold.
or bridges i have burned thinking it a necessity of life that long ago grew old.
forced to play a hand i should have long since thrown in as a fold
but sometimes life rewards the bold
and i have a mouth piece made of gold
until to late that i was walking down a dead end street.
i couldnt see ahead because i am ashamed so i was staring at my feet
i know what i want but im trapped by what i need
so caught in the struggle of endless futility
that peace is a fiction in which i cant believe
what does it matter if she loves you if you just cant see
yourself being worthy of love because of all your insecurities.
the confidence i portray is just part of the webs of deciet
weaving webs of nothing just like where they all lead
i need to fix this life i have kids that look up to me
but i am so broken inside i end up not doing a thing
so one by one the people i love, leave.
leaving would be better for you even if it is worse for me
but i cant blame you who wants to spend every moment of life arguing
stretching the miserable moments on into eternity.
quickly i learned that when dealing with the devil there is no bargaining.
caught in addiction this life is all part of me
so deeply entwined i know ill never get to leave.
