Ripped... Ripped in half

**** I'm split, split down the middle cause of my past

Up a creek without a paddle, rocks ahead, about to crash

Wild horse, no saddle, how long is this rough ride gonna last?

 

Quit, quit! Your lying, aint no use trying

The fuse is lit and I can't afford the time Ive been buying

My pillow is wet from sweat not crying

It's a huge dent not a tiny ding, now I know the trouble the future brings

 

Ok, ok... Maybe I can handle it

Got a short fuse, but I can last like a lantern wick

But all the abuse has got me melting like candle stick

 

The fire's so hot, the fireplace mantle caught

Two hot wires put together to create a shock

Electricity is what I sought, but a small spark was all I got

 

So now... Now I eliminate, differentiate

Strategically place

The positives, I made from the double negatives left on my plate

Get what I'm sayin' , are my words starting to resonate?
