Strings

Strings 05:36
Slumped over in his own chair Debating thoughts of quitting One hit to keep him going One hit his chest is bumping It's all I've known these past 10 years They call this life? This bottle's always empty One more it's never-ending My sorrow’s never drowning I spend my mornings shaking It's all I've known these last 10 years They call this life this simple thing To take this knife and cut these strings Please cut me down Whole, I'm not in life and made nothing I've lost my pride, I'm plagued with strings Stay out of sight the darkest things Control my life destroying me It broke me it broke me down You told us that you were found your god had gave you wings It owns us it holds us down Don't bother to wear that frown I used up everything Why bother? I'm used to now You bought us and sold us down the river You knew we'd drown with no thought for where we'd lay There's just gold, gold on your mind Once we get through this hell that is this We will rise up and become human and full of life We should take back what's ours Our lives our everything Shed the shame of our stigma When we can love ourselves and cut these strings You cut and clipped our wings Destroyed us degrade us, yet we still cut these strings

This Hell 04:47
Going through the motions, try to find some strength Try to put on makeup, try to beat this day Heard these notes, she’s losing hope She keeps screaming softly “please God no” No one knows why, these things they happen But she’ll keep fighting, this HELL, this CANCER Know this, she will keep on trudging The strength that fills her, it’s in the air “You don’t own me, and I’m not scared” In time, she’ll go down and she sees that they’re all frowning And dreams it was all a dream, but we see that she’s already down for the count Young girl fought nails and teeth, never gave it up Understand that you’ll miss them when they are gone It took it’s hold Evil disruption when it comes too young You’re finally home No more pain at your heels, no more drugs that burn No more aches, sick and drained REST IN PEACE, YOUNG GIRL This is a life of a young girl

Bleeding Out 04:36
It’s something that we had borrowed, cut off and left for dead Tension turned into frustration, it never had a chance You can’t see what’s coming down, you can’t see me bleeding out It wasn’t like I had told her, it’s nothing like they said Consumption, disruption, my chalice is full No reason to pass this off These motions that fuel Unbridled and in consumption, I fear I am the fool Who lays in wait for the answers, the answers came too soon You can’t see what’s coming down, you can’t see me bleeding out It wasn’t like I disowned her, it wasn’t like she said Consumption, disruption, my chalice is full No reason to pass this off These motions that fuel My mind, my heart Mistakes that brand me now ‘cause I know in time will change No one, no one knows To say I’m sorry means null I never meant to hurt you As long as I’m still breathing I bleed this blood for you

Turning Ill 04:19
Sometimes, sometimes I swear it isn’t my mind It’s your mind that’s making up for lost time Lost time, you swore it was a good time But it wasn’t with me Keep trying, keep trying oh you’re trying to convince me Convince me it’s a memory But I know or at least I’ve got a feeling A feeling you’re the enemy 'cause once it stops, it never does No, no, no Feed my troubled thoughts that turn ill Believe your insults to my soul ‘cause once it stops it never does I’ll be okay you never will See your love once he’s gone You’re alone, all alone ‘cause once it stops it never does I’ll be okay you never will You fucking whore You wrecked our lives So say your prayers It’s time to die Pound my chest Bang my head Crack my skull Leave me dead See your love once he's gone You’re alone, all alone If I had known If I had tried just to know This hell I’ve known, I can’t survive I don’t know

Baltimore 05:51
To let it drone, to let it breathe To hold my own, to make it me Unstoppable incompetence The disrespect, unreal to me ‘cause nobody cares about these streets To give up on hope, give up on dreams That’s not this man, not my city When nobody cares about streets Guns. Dimes. Crime. Politics and loss of life I can’t take no more ‘cause no one will let us grow Under this hell we know No one to teach their young Function of plans unknown This place is run with crooked men Their greedy paws are in the dish While young men die and no one cares We will rise up and make a stand ‘cause nobody cares about these streets It’s time to shine, so here we go Let’s make it count, let’s let them know That things will change, be different now To make one man, into a crowd Guns. Dimes. Crime. Politics and loss of life I can’t take no more ‘cause no one will let us grow Under this hell we know No one to teach their young Function of plans unknown Statistics will show you the numbers of loss But that means nothing when it is one of your own And it plays out like horrors you see on the screen Of a movie or something you would not believe When you look at the screen all you do is just cry At the hit that you take when it’s deep in your pride Still you struggle to get up and get on your feet But you get up and go out, you get up and go No one will let us grow Unknown the class we own No one to teach their young No one will let us grow Under this hell we know No one will let us grow No one, no one I don’t have a whole lot here, but I can make it work You see, it has nothing to do with us and everything to do with them We try, we try so hard. Does anybody care about us? I didn’t think so
