Bring back bloodletting

Why mind the cut if I find something upsetting?

It can rupture ever gently from under the epidermis

And then let up and an eruption that's enough to flood a levee

Yo this ruffians a cut above the rest

I tally mark my fuck ups to keep track by carving them in my chest

It's relentless. The kid inside me getting so restless

I haven't had rest since I returned to my senses

This little tea pot will get rowdy if it's heated

With the highest grossest bounty this side of the Mississippi

You feeling brave? Well come over here and tip me

And if scolded get your lips and throat you know now not to sip me

I am old enough to know I am young

But afraid when the day will come when I can't say that I am

No complaints here. I embrace fear when it comes

While rappers emulate their idols, I get Shakespeare on them

Let's think different. Blink twice when I am to quit it

I'm sad most of the day but it's a higher percentage than most

I don't know why I'm so engrossed by those statistics

I guess its good to know I'm not alone with those afflictions

Like tinker bell with pixies dust, I use tears my to lift me up

No idioms were used because my truths are quite serious

Despite delirium, I'm out here to get it

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm a long way from heaven

Albeit my contention with dogma is often mentioned

Never said that I would reach it or even be granted entrance

But it's a game I like to play with myself

The thought of the promised paradise that saves me from hell

But how can I be saved from it if I'm in it now?
