Peep this see this rootless tree seedless Stressed out at best, pressure on his chest Life crumblin' at his feet trying to find a way Defeat after defeat stumbling day to day To get out his home never really his say Where he stays not the same as yesterday Now pray, the steeple only help some people But losin' your faith's easy when you ain't peaceful This time's not yours to waste All is evil, deceitful embrace the illegal Paint the town red the blacktop's an easel Suicidal tendencies because he ain't equal Never saved relied on a body bag retrieval This time's not yours to waste We've got no time, gotta save today No more heroes, they're all on display We got no choice, we can't run away We gotta stand our ground, 'cuz we're here to stay The clock ticks and ticks, the calendar is a hit list No witness, passing with the quickness Past the age gap, it gets hard to not quit You might not fit, so it's stop or get hit We can't sit on the fact that Every day we last is a pass to the next one A dash to the outcome, monotnous, it's not fun Knowing that in a flash you could be done This time's not yours to waste All is evil, deceitful embrace the illegal Paint the town red the blacktop's an easel Suicidal tendencies because he ain't equal Never saved relied on a body bag retrieval This time's not yours to waste We've got no time, gotta save today No more heroes, they're all on display We got no choice, we can't run away We gotta stand our ground, 'cuz we're here to stay He could tell more lies to get more money Or be somebody's bitch, a ventriloquist's dummy You laugh about it now, but it's less and less funny Every day he's slowly decaying to nothing but a mummy If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything Yearning for death's kiss while the caged bird sings This is for the children This is for the victims This is for the fucked up world that we live in We've got no time, gotta save today No more heroes, they're all on display We got no choice, we can't run away We gotta stand our ground, 'cuz we're here to stay

Lost my mind, lost the fight Same argument on a different night I bet you think that you won Broken frames, broken bones To think that we used to call this place a home You used to call me the one Empty space, we'd embrace Lucid dreams now it's losing pace We hadn't known what we'd done Fixing up the life we saw in our minds Forgetting the shattered past we left behind Looking past the high We turned both eyes blind Break me down and leave me wrecked Lay me down and see what happens next Break me in, I willingly submit Can't play your game, so I forfeit Can't debunk your assumptions I wanna know what your malfunction is Act like I don't already know Tired of this sitcom rerun marathon What's going on we were going strong Have our ratings sunk so low? This hate takes the cake You had me hooked, I took the bait You know I see right through you I wanna go, then again I don't I love the way you light my candle before you blow I think I just made my wish Break me down and leave me wrecked Lay me down and see what happens next Break me in, I willingly submit Can't play your game, so I forfeit Go away, leave me alone I refuse to be seduced by your succubus tricks Let alone be subdued when this can't be fixed I'm done letting you win I refuse to be a player in your stupid head games It's all about to change Cry all you want Crocodile tears confirming the worst fears Now watch closely as I disappear I hate you! Why won't you die? I would've gladly watched and even assisted as you attempted suicide Yet I keep coming back I can't explain why This pain I feel pry inside of my pride It preys on my shame and yet I keep trying To play this game in the role of the bad guy You say I don't make time well that makes two Don't want an excuse for me to see through Cause from my view this love is lost I should have paid attention now I paid the cost

My memories collapse A synaptic symphony Attached to the sound It burrows into me Attracted to the facts, They mask my own action That's the problem with reacting with passion Self targeted hypocrite Always felt out of it Until I fell out of it That's what I get Erratic actions caused static friction Take from real life cause it's stranger than fiction My head and heart heavy, to my astonishment My accomplishments beget admonishment Throw my throat out tryna get y'all to listen Blow my soul out yet I still fail the mission Yet to my admission I forget to omit All the shit I let through my brain feels split A man, manic, panicked shaken to the core Cracked and fragile snapping, still wanting more Mental floorboards store my brain's evidence While it's evident hell bent on heaven-sent Yet, a question messin' with my mind Despite progression, why have I fallen behind? I'm losing control I won't let them break me I won't let them take me down Now I live in my self-made hell Face the fear that swallows me and spits me out I can't run away or hide from myself Every time I think, or blink, or sink a second into wishin' My ambition dies to inhibition Aimless soul stuck without a mission Lack of intuition my only opposition A war of attrition defines my position Feels like I'm running out of ammunition Sadly my trail to success isn't paved yet Banked stress like the cash stacked to pay debt Hard pressed to break the out of this monotony Dug deep now the pressure has got me On my own and I'm trying not to care less Maybe a rope around my neck just seems best Save death for last, living in solitary Need reasons to live that aren't monetary Each day passed I'm closer to the cemetery This journey of life is anything but voluntary I'm losing control I won't let them break me I won't let them take me down Now I live in my self-made hell Face the fear that swallows me and spits me out I can't run away or hide from myself I'm no animal tied down Can't space out Just face it Life is too often wasted I'm losing control I won't let them break me I won't let them take me down Now I live in my self-made hell Face the fear that swallows me and spits me out I can't run away or hide from myself Can't space out Just face it Life is too often wasted
