[Verse]
You ever felt the pain I felt?
Dealt the shit I dealt?
No codeine or percocets
Ain't talkin' 'bout shit I sell
I'm tired of hearing people 'round me asking "Are you well?"
No, I'm not! but if you ain't gon' listen, I ain't got the energy to tell
So shut the fuck up! sit the fuck down! 'fore I derail
Even further on this crazy train
'Cuz you see, I was born
With a huge fuckin' thorn in my side
Feel like life itself has stabbed me from behind
What happened, huh?
What the fuck happened!? huh!?
You gon' tell me why you're bringin' me this tragic or what?
I've been waiting for a response, now give me what I want!
Or I'ma take it! it being my life
It's in your hands now, be careful, don't break it
Oh wait, it's too late
No chance of repairing it, the damage is too great
I miss the days when my biggest concern was what I ate
Now I've been eating the lies of my brain
Telling me I'm worthless to the point that it's ingrained
Within my consciousness, I'm feeling haunted, it's...
Like someone else is taking over, I can barely operate
I feel I need a doctor, someone call up Dre
They tell me there's a silver lining but the sky is looking gray!
There's no positive side to this monster of mine
Within the dark of my mind, you don't wanna know what I find
You don't wanna know I think
It's bringing me to the brink
...of sanity, my vanity
Is rapidly vanishing
How is this happening?
Bring me some clarity
Hear that I'm asking
I can't hear you answering
How long should I be masking it and act like I'm happy?
I don't need no therapy
You wasn't there for me
Music is here for me
Now I can finally see
I should just end it!
There's no one who cares for me!
[Outro]
I hope we'll meet again in the Asylum...
