Twisted mind like a tainted vine; truth confined in a sea of lies. If only I realized these lies as I lay down betrayed. They treat me like an intrusive loser, get to jobbing then fade away into obscurity like bastion ******. I once tried to search for myself but got lost along the way. I once tried to look at my reflection but it turned away. Shattered perception, scattered pieces of memories replaced by delusion. Forgot myself in all the confusion, all for fame or acceptance so I became this hollow substitution. Invisible to myself and others, and I can’t even sleep at night because I realized I’m really the monster under the covers. Tried praying to the holy father, but I ain’t got no call back so why did I even bother? I’m lost and afraid, so I write another verse hoping all these feelings will fade. Just a snap of the fingers like I’m thanos, because I can’t handle of these ******* ignorant gringos. Tried going to a logos program, but gosh **** they even more of a problem. Eating lunches with my shadow, and it feels like I’m stuck in the middle of ocean with no rowing boat or paddle!
Hook: Seems like I’ve almost had enough, but you be stupid if you think I’m giving up! I’m almost up that hill now, I’m almost free now, I’m almost able to see that real me now. Yeah!
Trying to find a reason to continue to rhyme or find a rhyme that will bring out my reason. The reason to keep going, the reason to keep reaching and dreaming. So I write verse after verse till it rehearsed. Cant tell if this is a gift or a curse? So I continue to going different directions like embers from a fire, and it is for that reason that I’ll never retire! I will never know unless I try, and I will never be a good father if I don’t let my past hurt die. I need to cross that edge and take a leap of faith, for staying stagnant is a waste of my breath. I know it won’t be easy, but life’s not supposed to be easy! Got to face my Goliath will only a few pebbles and a sling shot and give it all I got. I only have my self to blame or praise for overcoming these burdens, For life is a long play and I’m not ready to let down the curtains.
