[Verse 1: Android]

I was 14 when my mother kicked my father out

This is when I took my first peek at Satan's slaughterhouse

He told me, your mother ain't letting me back

You the man of the house now, you gotta pick up the slack

I sighed a sigh of relief, this motherfucker is gone

Then I got hit with grief, it's like I lost me a bond

I was still a freshman, still had a couple of friends

But those friendships broke, I thought I was getting closer to the end

The end of nothing, cuz really I never did shit

I started writing to beats, like who thought this kid could spit

I was just fucking around, just jotting to be funny

Cooped up in the house, not outside when it's sunny

A call of duty geek, thought I could make some vids on YouTube

But the shit that rules my life just caught up with me too soon

The shit I like to call father, a voice inside my head

These thoughts of constant judgment, I wanna crack em until I see red

A thousand eyes always on me, I wished em all dead

Man I was living like a zombie, and then father said

"Listen, these people ain't like you

You had this anxiety shit, like since you were 2

You just didn't realize, this is who you are

You see that noose hanging, man that's not that far"

But fuck that, I got way too much to live for

I wanna see my kids thirteenth, like Millard Fillmore

I wanna blow up, and show the world who I am

And forget about this red bitch with two horns like a ram

But this shit never stopped, it only got worse

And now I never step outside, I think that I'm cursed

I can't speak in front of people cuz I get red and get the shakes

Going outside results in the worst stomach aches

But these words, i know they something special

Cuz writing's my only outlet from those thoughts that I wrestle

I live in the dark, I feel no comfort when I can see

A hollow man loves when he forgets what he will be

The light shows me truth, but in the ugliest form

I find that traveling down the coldest roads is when I feel most warm
