If I was rich, I'd die from these spliffs

I'd drown from these hits, for the hungry I shall give

We hog the root of sins, we can't survive without this

That's what I was told, that's how I had to live

That paper turn green, yet your heart turns blue

Yea your mind gets smaller, you become big news

I try to fly away from this skin

I snapped my wings 300 miles in

I would learn how to fly again but this empty sky all I see

It makes my eyes sink

I would learn to see again but this headache killing me, I can't think

I'm black but a light bird down to my feet

I've nested this burrow for years, I was raised by it

The egg I hatched from has been cracked open you see

This section of irregular kids, I ain't that special, I barely fit in

I've grown out of that but have I?

I just changed my ways but is it for the better?

I find that fun, I do this mainly for one lover, it just worsens my weather

But can I change again? How's my tether?

I can't have it break now

Stabbing me? Just a pencil

But I can't lie when I say that graphite hurt like lead

Just a regular day instead

I mistake the poison for this open wound

I ain't dying inside, my life leaking outside, my doom in June

When all is left and done, my mind still stays under

As I am now, a one man house that cannot stand

I seem divided, I can no longer tell from my cold hands

Rushing to figure everything out, I think I'm fine

I try to find my problems, I don't think they're there, the signs

I ain't imaginary, but I keep thinking like a myth

A myth buried amongst the stronger, I stay stiff

Like my heart, it can't fit

I grew fearful cause of trust

How much will it hurt if I get unlucky?

How much will I lose?

Severed hands still serve better than those idle

Injured on the devil's swingset pushed by idols

You won't admit that cause it just sounds sad

Hiding cause we ain't really like that or at all, its bad
