Chorus:
Silence,
Listen, listen to the words I sing
Eyes glazed, from the rain, from the pain
From the day that I realized that I changed, I stray
Left, but want to head right
Walk straight into the dark but I’m caught in head lights
I don’t move, why don’t you?
Car beeping, I’m bleeping to the cop “fuck you!”
I’m through with this, God you did this
To me, I’m giving you three, no, two minutes. Fix this
‘Fore you witness a human being leap
Head first into a river two feet deep
And people screaming “Jesus, call TUPD!”
And mother crying, says that ain’t how he used to be,
But now I am, lost in this forest, all I got is rhyming
To try to spark up a fire but it’s not lighting
So I fall to the ground, people bawling “why dan?”
In my eardrum, I don’t hear them, I want…
Chorus
I wake, sweaty and cold,
Drenched in my bed, trembling, because I fell through the depths of my soul
Clammy hands clenched on my neck because I felt something strangle my throat
Someone yells “Danny what’s wrong!?”
I don’t know, sometimes it just feels like I don’t belong
People racing along, I don’t even realize that I know them
And voices, they just noises, adding clout to the storm
So I put on this song, and start just writing some bars
And vibing, feeling my pulse rise like the sun climbs the horizon
Writing all day until the sky disguises to violet
And as I sit, I float with both of eyes closed
And flow like my whole life had been all of what I hoped
But no, my rhymes quit on me, letting go of my grip
And I’m begging them, “No, hold on, this is for all that I live!”
But they don’t listen, slowly start slipping off of the cliff
And as the wind whips, all I’m wishing ‘fore I hit bottom is this…
Chorus
