about

This one came together in a flurry of emotion. At first I thought it was too dark to mess with but I added the hook and it became a favorite.

lyrics

Best of times caused the worst of times
Escape with rhymes to clear my mind
Don't worry yet
This ain't a threat
I paid my debts
I might win yet

Self hatred
Fear and loathing
And I'm over hear scolding
Myself for the choices
I made to keep it going
Throwing it all away
To kill the pain another day
It's all gone now, that's on me
What else to say?
It's what I always wanted
Not really, but I thought that
All the demons in my head
I fought that yet sought that
Couldn't go with just a little
Had to throw all the chips in
For a while I even thought
I could keep things hidden
What's dark sees the light
All of it eventually
Sometimes it spills at once
Maybe that's how it's meant to be
Someone sent to me a message once
Said they saw my pain
Did ignore it out of shame
Or was I hiding from whats plain
The signs were all around
And even I chose to ignore
My own words and so verbz
Walked right through the door

Chorus

On the other side seemed easy
Felt good, had all the fun
Whats done is done I said to myself
Never will I run
Back to where I was because
The door stays locked behind you
So you keep pushin on
So that nobody'll ever find you
Let me remind you
I fought against it All my life
Pushin back against desires
That called me from the night
Despite my best efforts
Dark clouds still surround me
And everything I thought I could hide from
Has now found me
Pushed me in the dirt
Damn it hurts
Slippin like X did
Calling people up for help
Too late I should have rested
My head a bit who said this shit
Was easy? They was lyin
Instead I spit to dead the shit
Cause really I was tryin
To keep it real
And make em feel
Not many could relate
But how could I expect them to
With so much on my plate
On a scale of one to ten
I'm at eleven
And medication
Don't do enough no more
So yo here's a dedication

Chorus

My kids deserve better
So does everyone I hurt
Helped a few along the way
I guess my heart is on my shirt
Sleeve I need to feed good deeds
But evil always eating
The greed I heed impedes the seeds
From growing and defeating
Impulses
I should have known because
I saw it all around
The sounds of silence
Drowns the noise
And pushes underground
I'm headed that way soon I think
No point in slowing down.
Too late these days
To work towards
A good I haven't found
The world is dark
I'm sorry yall
I tried I really did.
But the path of least resistance
Easier than if I skid
To a sudden halt
Before the cliff
Free fall feels so inviting
I'm dead weight anyway
And the particles colliding
Inside my brain
I can't maintain
Just let it happen quickly
Can't let myself be seen this way
I feel so goddamned sickly
Goodbye cruel world
Don't hurt my girls
Because I will return
To haunt, devour, terrify
Murder, slash, and burn


......
