lyrics

(Verse)
So many nights and days alone, just sittin' on my bed, writin' lyrics and makin' poems, hookin' up beats and creatin' songs with a sober look on my face, I have a face of stone like the Sphinx, I wanna get away and zone, but I'm pissed, 'cause I got no place to go, on the brink, of goin' insane, I don't wanna live all my life in the same place, ya know, I guess I'm just one of the lost youth, life is too short to try to do what I want to, but I feel like I've got to, and I walk through these places, chasin' what I thought I knew, but I guess it's just not true, that's why I had to leave it there, and keep it real, and try to make all of these wrongs good, killin' me softly, I'll put it in my song, and expire like a fire with its oxygen gone, shut my eyes and open them to paradise, hopin' that it can suffice, and grow into somethin' I might, hold onto for longer than my childhood, smile good and become stronger, than I thought I could, it'll never be the same, but I'm gettin' redundant, huh, and it stinks like it's pungent, overwhelmed at the helm in this hell that I've felt, and it feels like I just got kicked in the stomach, and the feeling keeps burnin', beneath my sternum, the heart's pumpin' but I'm numb and I feel nothin' like a virgin, untouched, with only love for myself, tissues bunched up from tears, wadded up on a shelf, a mission for ambition, but I'm in denial, like Egyptian swimmin', so I sit on it a while, 'cause it's never too late, as the old saying goes, I suppose, always hangin' onto hopes
