Pandemiclly Incorrect
It's my own fault
that I got higher than Jack did up the beanstalk
Hindsight is 20/20 even if you've been blind for years
it's easier to see far and away than it is to see near and right here
and I've had a few too many beers so to those I hold dear I say cheers
I've been consumed by the fear that consumes me and it's clear that I have consumed it
I've shedded blood tears and sweat and it ain't over yet bet
How much more can I take when enough is never enough and enough I never seem to get
Unpaid overdue dues the penalties don't offset
uninterested in the interest each day I go deeper and steeper in debt to depths that makes me fret
My match now I've met and I neglect to forget
how many times I tied to retract my step but me it wouldn't let
now all washed up and unwet for a spell I set
taking my time playing Russian roulette holding on for last second shot praying for nothing but net
with no regret Skinny is the line between your prime and that of a sharp decline
keep one thing in mind we can look back and we can look forward but we can't do both at the same time
Headaches and toothaches for Pete's sake backaches and heartaches I can't shake
heartbreaks so authentically unfake so cold my blood coagulates
Painfully made mistakes panicking as I attempt to manipulate my fate with my unclean filthy slate
Oh what a fukkin mess when more becomes a little too much
and much more becomes a lot like a little less
I can't digest it I can't digress
may as well be incest I guess
I detest how much I invest in the fukkin myself best
Now a bird's nest a10 lb fish hooked on 100 lb test
the hand is quicker than the eye but don't let the left know what the right hand is doing
for everything will be ruined round and round up then down it goes
when will it stop or where I don't know
I'm no stranger to the danger I've had the barrel in my mouth with one in the chamber
I want to leave me too so who could blame her
So pleasantly painful like the penetration of a piercing arrow to the heart
like razor blades on a dart like a kill shot in the dark
artistry of the doomed
doom is the artist's work of art
I would never hang and go out like Chester Bennington
I could never blow out my brain like Kurt Cobain did and use a Remington
it'll take something much more mean than covid-19 to kill this fiend
I said it once and I'll say this again someday life will have to kill me but until that day comes I'm killing it
or maybe one day instead I'll just get high breath a sigh and just die
because letting life kill me I'm unwilling it
When I think back to the beginning oh how I thought I was smart
I thought I would quit the sh*t before I would even start
but trying to quit the sh*t is like trying to depart from your broken heart
If you can put two and two together catch your second wind and get ready to get set on your mark
Then run for your life as hard as you can because there will be no restart
once you've tried it you're swimming with the sharks that want to taste your bleeding heart
Every day is like swimming in circles from dark to dark
with no escape until death from this do you part
