I cannot believe my eyes
This isn't real
Flashback to the dawn of my memory
Before my first steps, I knew you as an enemy
Red marks across my backside
I hid from the world, ’cuz they said it was a felony
Never squealed, kept my lips sealed
Act tough, never tell ’em how you feel
I can't tell the fake smiles from the real and
I’m covered in these scars that’ll never fully heal
My nerves are dead, I feel no more
It doesn't feel normal if my body isn’t sore
Strike of the left hand, sting to the face
“Don’t you ever fucking cry when you’re living in my place”
All I got were threats, all I ever felt
Were the bruises on my body from the buckle of the belt
All I ever wanted was escape from this hell
That you put me in, gloves off, ring the bell
Blood words dripping from your fangs
Venomous lies course my veins
Cursing your delusional cognitions
As they drain me of my ambitions
You ever feel what it’s like to show up at school
Black and blue, mad at you, what’s the excuse?
Teachers dig deep to try and find out who hit you
I said I fell, and never told them the truth
Held it in, deep down, bottled it up
This damn close to an eruption
So now you’re picking up the scattered pieces of me
Couldn't save myself from the corruption
You never know a snake 'til it's fangs are in your arteries
I’m thick-skinned, but it’s tearing out the heart in me
All my pain lead to elevated artistry
I’ve dealt with the devil but my soul is still bartering
Picture this, a moment of true clarity
Your shit parenting caused a family disparity
Somehow survived without the solidarity
I made it on my own, no god damn charity
My feet won't run
My body numb
Can't run from the thoughts inside my head
(Mentally divided I'm traveling time)
All I see
The air I breathe
It’s just a blink in my memory
(To pick the lock from the cell inside of my mind)
Blood words dripping from your fangs
Venomous lies course my veins
Cursing your delusional cognitions
As they drain me of my ambitions
Opening up my eyes to the lies you hide behind
Stealin’ from the clock, the crime of a lifetime
I finally found my mind; it disappeared with a poof
I finally found the root truth, root truth, root truth
Mentally divided I'm traveling time
To pick the lock from the cell inside of my mind
My feet won't run
My body numb
Can't run from the thoughts inside my head
(Mentally divided I'm traveling time)
All I see
The air I breathe
It’s just a blink in my memory
(To pick the lock from the cell inside of my mind)
Truth
Root truth
Mentally divided I’m traveling time
To pick the lock from the cell inside of my mind
Just a blink in my memory
Mentally divided I’m traveling time

Tap into my vein so I can’t feel the pain
Shut out this pain, I might blow out my brains
Tap into my vein so I can’t feel the pain
Shut out this pain, I might blow out my brains
Tap into my vein so I won’t feel this pain
Hope I refrain from blowing out my brains
Tap into my vein so I can’t feel the pain
Shut out this pain, I might blow out my brains right here right now
Falling
For the body of a vixen,
Thinking with my head but it's not my decision
Innocent
If there was a sign I must have missed it,
Thought I was blind turns out I'm masochistic
I see
Now more than before
That I had no idea what she had in store
Evil
Always tries to follow me, then it swallows me
It's in my head like neurobiology
I'm sick
Of going to work every day,
slavin away, minimum wage,
to watch you blow it away,
I'm tired
Of the same old routine
Same old fights, mundane bullshit
I can't
Take it any longer
I think I need to leave, with the red I see
Rage
Next time I disagree, somebody please intervene
Mentality rotten look what it's gotten me
All I know is this lie is bleeding me dry
Every time the last time, I hope I wake up alive
The way I live is just not right
Giving in, this is killing me inside
Day and night, I struggle to fight
Once again, I
Wake up, die, eat, sleep, die
Wake up
Feelin’ a fist in my chest
A sudden shortness of breath, counting the seconds I have left
Anxiety
Taking me by the brain
I relapse into the pain
Falling back into the same
Breakdown
Facing a shattered mirror, given into fear, cause self destruction has appeared
Suspected of living with depression, damage physically reflecting
Leaves a permanent impression
It's over; you have no options anymore
No more lies to hide behind; the truth is knocking at your door
Doom
Disengaged from the weight on me
Driven to insanity
draining my humanity
Die
To be honest I'm pissed, in fits
Of rage each page we turn I burn
I lit the flames, 'cuz
I'm calling it quits from the pain
I can't take it anymore
All I know is this lie is bleeding me dry
Every time the last time, I hope I wake up alive
The way I live is just not right
Giving in, this is killing me inside
Day and night, I struggle to fight
Once again, I
Wake up, die, eat, sleep, die
I've eaten my fair share of shit for this to fall to pieces
So quickly, so easy am I to return to the chase
This is the living definition of insanity
This feeling that is driving me
I just pray that by the grace of a might-be god
That I am able to somehow, hold onto the wheel and drive
(Wake up, Die, Eat, Die, Work, Die, Eat, Sleep, Die)
Tap into my vein so I can’t feel the pain
Shut out this pain, I might blow out my brains
Tap into my vein so I can’t feel the pain
Shut out this pain, I might blow out my brains right here right now
The way I live is just not right
Giving in, this is killing me inside
Day and night, I struggle to fight
Once again, I
Wake up, die, eat, sleep, die
