We all know what it feels like to be down and out, this is my dark place.
lyrics
Verse 1:
I'm going insane from this pain
How can i explain so much stress built up frame can't sustain
My brain is polluted who's to blame undisputed
So ashamed i refrain from the mirror afraid to use it
Detonate or diffuse it before i lose it
Trying to keep my shit together like them mother fucking glue sticks
Suicidal state bout to break without a cue tip
If i smile its too quick like balloons pricked
Mood switched, since my ex decided to leave me
Hated myself so much i didn't like to see me
Alone in the dark no torch no light
No love no hope. happiness and no life
I felt low like a i didn't exist
Job flicking my short fuse so i had to call it quits
Before i skits, flips lose my wits
Betrayed by the ones i loved and ain't been the same since
Verse 2:
Door locked looking at four walls
Didn't eat for a week or sleep ignoring calls
Couldn't speak so weak Scarface without his balls
Lost everything that ever mattered at all
I feel trapped scattered shattered on the floor
Thank god for my dads voice and that crack in the door
Bitter depressed and empty
Wickedness try to end me
Too much pride inside the mind is deadly
When he, shut everything down everyone out
Darkness in the heart just hollowed him out
A twisted shell this hell the things i seen
I hope you never ever go to the places i been
I lost my girl my friend my job my dream
Myself my wealth my health and self esteem
You wouldn't believe how deep the scars run
Now hes become numb heartbeat asleep done
