I’ve been stressing, dare you to start testing Not in the mood, talk to Smith and Wesson Can’t help a man who gets hurt but never learns his lesson Life is a question, multiple choice, guess who’s guessin? Running from myself is no longer an option Can’t blow my composure, everybody is watchin Always pay the price despite what it was costin’ I’ve been through hell and back, Would you agree with that? Stab through my chest, Crush my head with a bat People walk all over me, place mat Guess I gotta man up, and face facts Paranoia sinks in, you start doubting everyone Ketamine breaks skin, my trip has just begun Take me to a place I aint never been before New dimension, jumpin in, diving board I’m yours I look in my eyes and see a shell of myself But what I’d really love to do Is look through the eyes of everyone else Do I look hopeful and happy? Or sorrowful and melancholy? I got no love for myself, no love for another Growing up all alone, and hating all others I’ve got some friends, and I love em like brothers But this cloud of negativity follows me, a steady hover Push me to where I’m stretched to thin Now it’s far gone and I’m empty within It became easy living with sin Take baby steps forward on scissors and pins

Scissors and Pins
I’ve been stressing, dare you to start testing Not in the mood, talk to Smith and Wesson Can’t help a man who gets hurt but never learns his lesson Life is a question, multiple choice, guess who’s guessin? Running from myself is no longer an option Can’t blow my composure, everybody is watchin Always pay the price despite what it was costin’ I’ve been through hell and back, Would you agree with that? Stab through my chest, Crush my head with a bat People walk all over me, place mat Guess I gotta man up, and face facts Paranoia sinks in, you start doubting everyone Ketamine breaks skin, my trip has just begun Take me to a place I aint never been before New dimension, jumpin in, diving board I’m yours I look in my eyes and see a shell of myself But what I’d really love to do Is look through the eyes of everyone else Do I look hopeful and happy? Or sorrowful and melancholy? I got no love for myself, no love for another Growing up all alone, and hating all others I’ve got some friends, and I love em like brothers But this cloud of negativity follows me, a steady hover Push me to where I’m stretched to thin Now it’s far gone and I’m empty within It became easy living with sin Take baby steps forward on scissors and pins
