[Chorus: Seth Lorenzo]
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
[Verse 1: Distorted Thought]
Fuck man, I swear this shit is really eating me like
Orphans in a broken home, and both the parents beatin me
Depression & aggression in my heart that’s
What’s been feeding me. Deep within my dreams calligraphy’s of what I think of me. born up in the dope house no my soul ain’t got no hope I’ll take everybody’s dreams and hang that shit out on a rope And I’ll keep takin all the drugs until my spirit goes and floats My heart it couldn’t find a home So In the streets it goes an Roams Got this feelin in my chest I Used to dip from CPS Now All I dream bout is success But everyday my mental stress An all these assets I possess don’t fill the void up in my head Everyday I’m waking up, but I’m still wishin I was dead. Might cop a new whip, so I can blow my brains in it My Plug talk on Moises, they splittin cocaine widdit Take an aim it to my head, I’m goin insane listen When I finally go an die, graffiti my name in it
[Chorus: Seth Lorenzo]
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
[Verse 2: The Thought]
Withdrawals from the SSRI's
Can't recall the last time that someone looked in my eyes
And saw my pain for what it was, a dirty stain on every plus
My mindstate dangerous, crazy enough to pull the plug
I was on the rug in my dorm, my finger hovering the button
The sudden storm of stress that begets self-destruction
I really want to press it when I'm pressed but it doesn't
Come with promises, that's ominous to me, all the nothing
So I'm cutting myself off from my family and friends
They don't need to see me, they can see the cedar at the end
I don't even believe them when they leading with "how's school?"
Like a meter from leaping and I'm feeling their doubt's cruel
Rather easily injured by the mirror, they deal with me
Just a couple weeks since Richard died, I missed the funeral
Not unique when I'm weeping, triggered simply being lately
Barely eat, but the cigarettes I smoke innumerable
Haven't been to classes in more than a week
I'm using three feet of snow as an excuse for being weak
Not on speaking terms with anybody other than my roomie
And I'm squeaking by, hiding the truth: I feel so gloomy
Wasting all my time at Uni, losing to my fight or flight
Writing raps and watching movies 'til like 6AM at night
Every time I want to bawl, I just stall and go get high
If my cousin hadn't called, they'd found me dead before the daylight
[Chorus: Seth Lorenzo]
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
[Verse 3: Seth Lorenzo]
I’m having visions
Visions of a better place
Where the kids can play outside without a murder case
I’m trippin' but do not question my existence
No matter the situation I shatter the competition
Driving through my city, all is I see poverty, prosecution, prostitution, problematic our sovereignty
Doesn’t match the constitution
Why is he a Commodity?
We steady introducing A darker economy
Where the rich die good and the poor die slow
Ima work until my mother fuckin' brakes grind off, okay
Who go'n be the next, on your head, I see the "X"
Better watch you’re step, before you drown and lose a breath
Locked inside my ways, pistol cocked inside the brain
Issues me the slave cause I ain’t never had a day
Where I can go play, do whatever I say
Slay whoever in my way
The truth uncovered from the shade, okay
[Chorus: Seth Lorenzo]
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight
Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
