Common Courtesy
Thinking about my life past these four concrete walls
Make my way past through these dark and lonely halls
My mind is my own worst enemy
At least that's what my conscience tells me
Eye sight getting bad, can't even see straight
Don't know what my future holds, I just hope I end up great
My head is the one thing that is keeping me sane
Depression is a lock and only I can break the chain
I've been through way too much
But I don't what how much is
Everything I do
I do it for you
And it kills to know you ain't got a clue
Like, damn, what has my life come to?
I don't feel like we're worth forever
Especially with life under the weather
I just wanna be alone, so I unplug my telephone
Times like these I would love to have a clone
Don't let Kanye into his zone
I know you comin', I smell cologne
And you tell me it ain't like he an unknown
I guess your better on your own
My mind just got over blown
I feel like nothing I do will ever be enough
I pray to God that I'm a diamond in rough x17
CNTRL released Diamond In The Rough - Interlude on Thu Jan 30 2014.
