lyrics

I sit back and analyze my situation
life is a struggle I hate the position that I am placed in
everyday another confrontation
but I’m headstrong y’all motherfuckers can’t break my concentration
heavy contemplation and mixed emotions
life is a gamble but in this game of life my chips have been stolen
my wounds have long healed and recently been ripped open
I can’t digest reality I feel as if I’m choking
drowning in an ocean surrounded by hate
my arms to weak to carry all the food on my plate
I’ll never relate and I fear I’ll never agree
with the forces who feel that they know what is best for me
I will never see eye to eye with those who criticize
you fucking hypocrites your all living a life of lies
I don’t know much about my future or my destiny
but I’m gonna keep on doing what I’m doing cause I feel that’s best for me

I’m gonna keep doing what I feel is best for me
I don’t much about my future or my destiny
time is the only thing that can set me free
I’m blind now but I know with time that I will see

It’s impossible to be happy when everyday I feel pain
in knowing things with never change it’s hard to maintain
life is a game, I fear I’ll never win
I face defeat from the mental battle waging within
I need guidance cause I’m amongst the blind
peace and security are not apart of my mind
comfort and closure is something I will never find
Some days I wake up and feel as if I’m wasting my time
life is a tragic comedy as we slowly decline
and in these dying times I can assure that I’m losing my mind
sinking to the bottom where all these emotions are felt
I’m folding in this game of life due to cards been dealt
nobody’s here to help I’m in this battlefield alone
my enemies surround me everywhere I roams a danger zone
After I’m gone the words I’ve spoken will soon be forgotten
I’m seeing red until the day I’m fucking dead and rotten

There’s no sleep for the wicked
from rest and relaxation I am restricted
I stalk in the night the streets what I dwell when I feel conflicted
this life is like a bad movie
someone took the script and flipped it
grab the microphone and express making my emotions vivid
the only thing I ask for and I hope is that you listen
if you feel what I’m saying turn me up and pay attention
this is what I feel and this is how you can hear it
my lyrics pierce your heart and penetrate into your spirit
Nothing in life is promised that’s the way that I see it
we are hungry for change but we will never fucking be it
because the bigger picture as a whole we’ll never see it
self destruction is in our nature as human beings
I don’t like what I’m seeing sometimes it’s hard to cope
life is cruel as it tightens it’s grip around your throat
but I will never choke and I’ll never give in
born to lose in the game of life but I’m here to win
