I'm not someone who really wants a lot The only thing I really want in this world is happiness I just want to find a place where I feel safe and at peace I've looked everywhere but I can't find one Never took a break 'cause I'll break if I don't run I've lost all my hope, as if I've ever had some It's like the Devil's taken my life for ransom I feel so numb, I feel so dumb For thinking a safe space could be won If I kept my faith through the hunt, Though it's been years since I've seen the Sun Cut to black, I've awakened Inside a cage, feeling jaded With nihilism on my tongue Thriving inside this prison It's no change from what I've known Except I can call this my own Fascinated with the dark and cold I could call this home I know tomorrow's lost like yesterday And nothing will change though I pray everyday I'll never escape any of this pain I can feel my sullied soul slowly decay I have nothing to believe in Painting the same strokes until the day's end Don't want to sit, leave, or breathe It hurts for me to simply be Lucy duped me and put me in a haze I believed my creed was just an artful waste And I'd paint landscapes with the eyes of Dupré I despise these eyes, black irises turn gray I'm so sick of wasting my time Taking long looks back at my unfulfilled life Wondering why nothing had ever gone right G-funk boy, boy, you sure love to whine I'm like a mime who's exhausted And locked in a box that I made up, held hostage By thoughts that are toxic Block off the bleeding, let's get back to dreaming Ran out the door, toward the stream of well-being Suddenly...crack! I feel something trying to hold me back Hand on my shoulder with a crippling grasp Without warning, darkness flooded my path Memories flash back reminding me of my painful past As long as I'm alive, my pain won't pass I'll always be alone, I'm the outcast All of a sudden, air dissipates Causing my lungs to deflate and ache I cannot speak, think, or breath This is the price of wanting to be free The pain brought me to my knees And I feel myself begin to sink Look above to see Lucy over me Prepared to force me beyond the brink, ay God gave me hope as promise It's proving to be but a garnish Now my faith is tarnished I'm witnessing nothing but carnage Nothing but dark crimson and scarlet Now I'm brokenhearted See through his verbage like varnish I see that I'm the Moon's target The sky's black and starless I'm fully emerged in darkness It grips onto me like a harness, yeah I'm caught in a catch-22 I'm caught in a, oh I'm caught in a catch-22 I'm caught in a, oh I'm caught in a catch-22 I'm caught in a-a-a-a I'm caught in a catch-22 I'm caught in a-a-a-a I'm caught in a catch-22 I'm caught in a-a-a-a Hold it, hold it, hold it, what the heck is my tongue quoting? I wake up soaking in an ocean of nihilistic devotion Shoot my eyes open, now I'm scoping chains on my hands, feet, and throat and I look down to see the weight holding me below is Lucy Why did you have to choose me? I'm nothing special, can't you see? Do you have some sort of crush on me? God, just stay the hell away from me Keep holding the chain, Lu, 'cause I'm coming down How's it feel knowing I'm not running now? Look me in my eyes, they're darker than yours This ain't an attack, no, this is a war Use these chains around my hands and wrapped them around his throat Wrap the ones trapping my feet around his waist and firm the hold As the air leaves his lungs, the sea level starts to fall Until there's not a drop left and my little lungs are full I look down to see that his body is gone Along with my chains and along with my thought Though I know he's not dead and I know he'll be back Next time I'll be prepared for Lucy's next attack And I don't care a bit, I am not scared him I'm in my element, Lucy is hella bent To make me reverent, calling the reverend And I'll be sending him to fight him off with the power of God Never thought that I would broaden all my options I've been plotting Fires in gardens? I can squash them T's I'm crossing, I's I'm dotting Wait, I hear a whisper calling Who is that on the horizon? Standing, with a glare of iron Oh my god, is he back again?
