I've done all I can to make pain disappear

You wanna know about struggle? Then close your mouth & listen here

Put in the cage so I can't turn the page

Can't anyone concede me for my ways & rage

Now death I don't fear 'cause I dropped every tear

Most the time I can't bare what I see in the mirror

Lost it all now I fall no more calls

& I just can't win this infinite brawl

Take me to the shadows, take me to the clouds

But I can't have purity while I'm here I'm not allowеd

As I burn I continue to learn becausе this is just how my world turns

I don't know when, I don't know how

When it's gonna end held down, unbound

Hate overthrows me no one to hold me love none shown me pain still folds me

Waiting & fighting so much in this hole

I just want it to end I just want it to go

Until then I'll try my hardest to numb the pain

Keep the pen flowin' keep the mic goin till that day

Now I live in the end without the best friend

As my feelings of hope & care painfully rend

You don't know this pain but some can relate

By the time you try to pull me away it'll be too late

Alone for years I'm collecting dust

Let me wither & rot & suffer & rust

You know what I learned? There's just greed on this earth

Even when I'm generous I get hurt what's it worth?

Why try & be the nice guy? It don't work

& the last thing I need around me is a heart teasing flirt

I feel I'm stuck forever won't a damn thing change?

But I keep my guard strong, even if it's a waste, hey

I don't know when, I don't know how

When it's gonna end held down, unbound

Hate overthrows me no one to hold me love none shown me pain still folds me

Waiting & fighting so much in this hole

I just want it to end I just want it to go

Until then I'll try my hardest to numb the pain

Keep the pen flowin' keep the mic goin till that day

You would only see it well in my ramshackled brain

Tryna keep my mind off this inner pain

Tryna find the best solutions dealing with the trueness

My life never gets a way out of this pollution

Scars covering my soul I can't take more of this fate

For bliss to find me I patiently wait

Rotted for years is my end far or near?

I'm learning daily how many are scum watched by the 1-1-1

To be free & vanish agony I'd luv to know how

Every time I look to the upside it goes back down

How many times I tried to succeed but I'm spellbound

If I'm doomed in the afterlife I don't care 'cause I'm in hell now

I don't know when, I don't know how

When it's gonna end held down, unbound

Hate overthrows me no one to hold me love none shown me pain still folds me

Waiting & fighting so much in this hole

I just want it to end I just want it to go

Until then I'll try my hardest to numb the pain

Keep the pen flowin' keep the mic goin till that day
