lyrics

Either Hit or missing the bulls eye screams got me hoarse in the mouth
Knowing I'm either dying with dignity or I'm living without

The long route on the lifeline ridden the wrong way
no one can move the path you've walked on for years after just one day

No one hits the ground running we stumble and fall
Assuming that you land alive or even hit the ground at all

The damn Worm in an apple everyone shudders to see
Nervous about a life long situation in which I never wanted to be

Errors got me lacking major components of life
With too much instability without all the sugar and spice

Nothing nice about me except for a subtle knack rhymes and rhythm
The only thing on the plus side is my positivity of my pessimism

An android lacking knowledge of his purpose
And up until it is uncovered it's only found that it's worthless

Don't dilly dally and waste time in darkened alleyways

Chorus:
It's the Sob story
Of the one who wrote and illustrated it
But tore up all the hard work cause there was a piece of me that hated it

Use the scraps of paper to dry regretful eyes
That are welling up with water so they can't stay on the prize
X2



Verse 2:
Take my tongue
make it numb
wrap it around my neck as a noose to tie

Tasting only gallows with a hint of vocal chords to dry
Hands buried in pockets with shoulders that hunch over
Never have good Smokes any four leave clover

With spoonfuls the medicine goes down Poppins pill after pill
Till One dose brakes the camels back and made it Terminally ill

Its time to lift a weight this heavy heart carries
And cut each fuckin' artery till my heart is deeply buried
Were Just canaries in our dark and cold mined freed to breath poison

So chirp till we die, no longer make any making noise n'
The others know how safe it is because our fate determines theirs
With no breath within the lungs so no time for Splitting hairs

Chorus X2

Verse 3:
In the end we all Go down with a ship not matter if the crew is alike
Because when the sunsets I just stand alone at an open mic

There is no hope in sight although the blotter's set in
so far I've seen road signs that lead to one dead end

I only heard stories but now I know that one is lonely
Just rotting away till my sad compositions boney

I'm not lookin' for death, but if seen i welcome with open arms
Teach it two things smoking dope and how emotions harm

All I play are Sour notes on vocal chords when I strum
Giant ego so Stoned they say he high "fo fum"
So dumb
Is the kid that I'm called
Head always in the clouds
When present I'm not involved

Since birth we get cursed just for living
See with eyes made of cameras and speak through lips of ink ribbons

So you hear clicking and a ding after every sentence spoken
And that sound will just go on till either there's no ink left or a key is broken

Waiting for maintenance for a problem so bizarre
It could change a life's course and leave a scar on the repertoire
I've never got to set the bar my mind was in Remission
But I've cooked up lines by writing rhymes so I'm comin out the kitchen
