Past Obsessed
This obsession
With the
Past
Constantly
Reviewing
My
Memory
Rolodex
Like my
Fishing Line
Not knowing
How to
Cast
My hook
Ends up
Stuck
Deep as
Fuck
In your
Head
Pain..
With no
Warning
It rips
So fast
Can this
Uncertain
Love
We have
Outlast....
And help
Me
Stay outta
My past
Everything
Changed
In a
Flash
I feel so
Empty &
Lost
When I
Try to
Think back
I've gone
Through so
Many circles
Of
Frontin,
Fake Friends,
Just there
Chasin my
Sack
Or
Plottin
On my
Lifestyle
To
Steal
What they
Lack...
I'm stuck
On
Relive it
Mode
Attracted to
My
Sordid
Darkened
Soiled
Past
Did I
Mention
I became
An
Outcast
No clue
Of what's
Been
Stashed
I gotta
Clear m
My
Mental
Cashe
But I'm
Afraid
The links
To my
Past
Will be
Forever
Crashed
Unretrievable
Erasure
Trashed
I've got to
Dash
Won't be
Put on
Blast
