Bless My Cold World

Part 1

[Intro: Bless]
One time for my girl tonight x3
Hey

[Verse 1: Bless]
Yeah
Back from the dead with a mask
You said I’m a lead accident
Ask them to pray that this massacre isn’t made national
Hazardous with it
While I’m watching you, learning you
Plotting not just to murder you
Mass murderer heading backwards to show you the verdict
Reverse it and leave you dead afterwards
Do some division and then subtraction of friends happen
For eleven years I’ve been having the perfect plan crafted
I’m just a spirit, how can a mirror or chair match it?
Accident killer, remember the burning and stabbing
My actions are willing to speak
Death is definitely the fraternal twin of my sleep
And in my heart of hearts I know they’re on the lookout for me, but I can’t have it
So with broken glass, I slash one last time to see if it even burns
You gasp, and ask why
I laugh, surrounded by broken mirrors and crash
My only critic is God, but I’m living for Vale
Nah, I’ll never cut again, but why won’t I look at myself?
Now, I’m an animal in a cage unsure of myself
Climbing this mountain to fight depression will kill in front of an audience
Audible please, nah you started this

[Hook 1: Bless]
Seven years of bad luck
Glass shatters on the ground
Man, I feel I’ve had enough
Another scar that has to heal
Pop a clip in, let it bust
Broken mirrors; metaphor for how I’m feeling
There’s a bullet with your name on it x2

[Verse 2: Bless]
Feeling so unapproachable now
Close to my breaking point; baby, fall to your death
Back’s to the wall, but I’m stacking up all them odds you could use
The crash you recall was me falling
The aftermath of my past was never an option
I’m back, but it haunts me
Hacking and coughing up blood
Tell me who is more ignorant, you’re ignoring the world
But you’re in for it, nothing’s more important
Ensuring your death is certain according to me
I’m luring and boarding you on a train to your downfall
No D r e a m v i l l e
See, I’m just Max Payne; I deal with the max pain
Diving, trying to dodge every verbal shot sprayed
My new condition is just you wishing I would die
When I ride through here, listen I’ve got to figure out a way
But with my mood, I’ll snap at any second
Man, I’m out of ammunition, dying a musician, nah
I’ve got to bring demented to another level
I wish I would dare fall short
There’s no way I will, even I tear us all apart

[Hook 1: Bless]

[Hook 2: Bless]
No more burned bridges
Look down from the ceiling, see yourself in the mirror
Eyes wide; don’t you run away
Eyes wide; don’t you run away x2

[Hook 1: Bless]

Part 2

[Verse 3: Bless]
Place me in front of mirror
Show my reflection and imperfections
Reckless at times, but cautious
I never claimed to be flawless
But often, I get this feeling often
That there’s a spirit inside of me screaming kill them all
When I just have too much on the line
F school; out of sight and out of mind
I’m just quiet, but not a mime
Shhh, quiet; I think I’m running out of time
All this thunder has me wondering
How will things be fine with so much darkness still around
Even when I talk, I sound alone
Forget it, I’m walking
Stalked by my conscience that’s constantly trying to off me
Or am I just hearing voices and belong in the same padded room as Hannibal
Grab him by the face-mask and tear it off
Someone threw a flag, it cost me
My first friend at five, Michael
I am diabolic; the wick is lit can’t extinguish it
Or distinguish me from my conscience
Unless you have tried to speak with him
Man, I have so much on my mind with no one to speak it to
But as evil as he is, he listens
When I’m about to blow my lid
He pressed stop and told me vent, not to close my feelings in
Let’s not start this again
As much as I dislike people, and think of killing them, I wouldn’t
If I can’t be a prisoner in my own mind, how could I last in a cell?
I put the blade down in 2011 because someone special asked me to do so
I meant a lot to them, but that died down, so who knows?
Sometimes, I just want it all to be over
There’s a chip on my shoulder the size of a giant boulder

[Verse 4: Bless]
But how long can you hold it?
It’s only a matter of time before you start losing your mind
You’re only growing older
I’m the main reason you have no social life
Approach the knife
Let me show you how to grow closer to closure
Knees buckling, back’s giving in
He’s struggling; overheat till you bleed for me
Release nothing but negative energy to kill everyone’s vibe
Whether drinking or weed puffing
The scene wasn’t intended to be as tough as it is
I’m just playing the cards I was dealt
You’re embarrassing
Still carrying baggage that’s over ten years old if you bother to add it up
Sooner rather than later, you will have to get over it
Say goodbye to Aaliyah, Valeria, and Jalisa
Hali, Chelsea, Marina, Ms. Berry and Stefanie
Cause, I’m your destruction, I’m you
If you don’t trust that it’s true, then either stand up for yourself and Aaliyah too
Or crash

Part 3

[Verse 5: Bless]
I’m the angels in your life that Jesus has sent
The reason you’re about start to ripping yourself apart
When you’re just trying to repent
Time to look yourself in the mirror, so don’t pretend
Only a broken spirit, your heart has frozen again
You never needed ish
Come to think about it, the life that you live is a caged one
So we’re starting over again
You and I both know that it’s hopeless, but was there ever any hope for you to begin?
I’m on hiatus for now, without a mirror to stare in
I feel the monster inside of me, I’ve diminished the caring
Finished preparing demons for all the misery carried now by my peers
So imperfections will never be buried
Looking back on my life, I never lost what I really loved
But you made up for it with this lack of confidence from above
All accomplishments of my past
From surviving attacks, jumpings and stabbings are nothing more than ten memories laughed at
I’m the one who can’t even stand to be friends with another person
Or to admire my girlfriend
This lack of a conscience hurts and I know it
But still I lurk in the shadows beneath the surface just waiting for you to slip
As if your gift is a curse, you did
No better time than the present; a new Rolex for a gift
Between Byron and Bless, no longer a difference
I’m guessing low self-esteem plays a major part in my life every second
But I love five of the eight that I mentioned
I was never ashamed of what I became
But look at what I’m becoming, forget the running tonight
Just know that I’m gunning for every son or daughter that doesn’t have any confidence
Coming from any corner of the Earth
I get a daily reminder of my healing scars
Feelings are out of the window, I can’t imagine the damage I’ve caused
Tragic; with that, it’ll have more of an effect on y’all
The static and drama caused by my karma calls to the dark
And I’m answering all
So, before I’m gone I had to bring it back to what started it all
New Orleans and Morris Jeff
But the hardest pill that I had to swallow was caused by my own family
All them days that y’all would talk down and push
I’d wallow in my own sorrow
Until Hali and Vale taught me there’s more to life
Aaliyah is like a sister to me in another right
No more scars, but still a part of me is dying tonight...

Part 4

[Verse 6 + Outro: Bless]
Shine like blood diamonds
Led your way to this sedated state of mind
I’m living proof that Angels die
In my thoughts, no matter how high you get, you’ll come up short
What a cold world, vision’s blurred
Living on the edge couldn’t hurt; this is you under a bridge that is burned
Link us to the pain, show some maturation
Emulate infatuations people had
Reaching for a shard of glass, get to stabbing
It’s the jagged edged words in the shape of a dagger
You’re mistake, I’m just crashing again
No relapsing, intend on getting back to when things wouldn’t just happen
And wings just weren’t flapping
Goodnight
