Life really hurts but I'm not sure because other people say it hurts too
And I don't think it does
At least not in the same way that it hurts me
And I know that sounds arrogant
But believe me I didn't ask for this pain its stuck in my brain 
It's here to stay I'd like it to go away
But I don't have a choice
So I use my voice to cancel out the noise inside of my head 
So I don't feel dead
So I don't have dread so my thoughts are not mislead
Depressions in my mind but I hide it from mankind
Cause they don't understand that I'm designed 
To be something more than a blind confined declined
Piece of flesh that stands in line
And I'm deeply intertwined with some big ideas and I'm inclined
To share them with the world
But first I have to find something divine to guide my mind

And if you know my name, you should know that I'm in pain
Don't wanna ask for much, cause I'll die either way
I want to have a place where I can feel like me
Oh have I said too much, oh please forgive me

Have you ever felt depressed? 
Or alone or controlled or told what to do by something in your brain
That isn't even you, then maybe you can relate to
Now times that by 19 and you'll be shown how mean the world is 
When you know its a machine
And insomnias your queen saying you can't sleep 
Until its all complete except the only thing to do is sleep
So you roll around in your sheets waiting for the morning to put you on leave
Now times that by 10 you wake up 
And there's blood in your bed you had nightmares again
And you're drenched in sweat you should see a vet 
Cause you're an animal you're a radical cannibal
Who eats himself and you're not understandable 
Because everything you see is diagonal
And you're not compatible with anyone 
So you might as well just see that you're the only one
Now times that by 15 and you'll see that this, this is me

And if you know my name, you should know that I'm in pain
Don't wanna ask for much, cause I'll die either way
I want to have a place where I can feel like me
Oh have I said too much, oh please forgive me

They say that I'm alive but I don't see the light
I must have been born with a defect in my eye
I'll probably be dead soon I hope I'm not alone 
Cause I don't wanna be cold when they bury my bones
I wish God was my friend he probably hates my soul 
Cause when I turn around I, I am all alone
I wish I was a kid running through the trees 
Cause then I wouldn't know what my futures meant to be
Now why do I have life if I am meant to die, If only I knew whyyyy

Now back to the rap, cause maybe
Then you can hear my voice crack as I hold the tears back
And I'm viciously attacked by something in my brain 
But mankinds to blame cause they forgot
To teach me how to play this game called life 
They just handed me a knife and told me to survive
And now I'm in the jungle and I start to fumble 
And I trip and I slip and my whole world does a flip
And now I drift as an unfit, split, misfit 
And I really must admit I've lost control of my ship, this is it
And my soul is read to quit...
