Where do I start ?
How come my Life has completely fallen apart ?
Which emoji face should i pick from the chart ?
I feel mad, sad, and overwhelmed. Constantly switching faces ever since the start.
Who have I become?
Why do i feel so dumb?
I hear his shaking voice in my head, "I feel so comfortably numb".
Signs and symptoms of the mentally ill.
All this weight has pushed me to ****.
All for the thrill.
Clean up on isle six, we got a spill.
Melon chunks all over the floor.
I tried to knock but you wouldn't answer the door.
Now look at all the Caution tape wrapped around this store.
Money is the root of all evil and you are its *****.
Cleaning up brains is now an everyday chore.
Too many victims to keep track of the score.
Why am I writing this?
I've read this once before.
Deja vu smoking with pepe le pew. Please take me back to the good ol days that I once knew.
Happy days that feel so true. Memories lost out of the blue. Leaving its waste in a trail of lies.

Tear drops and cigarette ashes falling  from the sky.
My heart keeps reciting her last words when she said goodbye.
I loved you so much I let my own heart bleed out.
You brought me hope.
A substitute to replace this dope.
I am reaching for your hand like they say reach for the stars.
Will you help me escape this death or free me from these prison bars.
My strength is faint.
A million words used to paint this picture of my heart.
There is alot of dark Colors but its a beautiful art.
I know you'll like it too because We are connected at the heart.
We are forever together, and never apart.

The law feinds for meat like blood thirsty animals.
Shaking down the streets to find their fix.
Their game is to hunt and their name is predator.
Theyll clean your pockets like an empty cash register.
Three hots and a cott pays off the boys in blue.
Until its time for another victim.
It never ends and its truth is never known.
They hide behind a gold badge and a royal throne.
We are tricked into a forceful thought that we need laws and protection.
Their good will service is always given even if it means to ****.
They shout, "We are protectors of the bill".

Blurred visons smeared across the mdnight sky.
Dark shadows casted and witches on the fly.
Sickos and psychos move quietly through the unseen.
Screams echo beyond the twisted swamp grass.
Blades of gory terror, stained blood on the broken glass.
Tar papered shacks with wood stove chimney stacks.
My hometown roots lye down deep within the swampy hollows.
Where preachers preach but nobody follows.
This is the place where bodies stay cold.
Watch where you walk and do what your told.

The punctured holes from serpent bites sting like I'm dying.
Toxic street venom flowing through my veins that I'm buying.
I need an antidote to reverse this curse.
My head is poisoned and feels like its ready to burst.
I see Visions of a man nailed onto a cross.
Weeping for his people while his own blood is a loss.
Wrapped in barbed wire, and wearing no clothes.
Stripped naked and displayed for the pagan shows.
All for the love of the becoming.
He whispers hymns and the music he's humming.
He screams, "Fear no pain and fear no evil".
Now the cross sits on top of the steeple.
For he will return to save all of his people.
