Cheek
Grabbin at straws
And looking to fall
Into the dark
Not getting the call
To move myself forward
And i'm starting to lack behind
I'm getting lost in myself
And i'm not pushing my mind
I'm not opening up
I'm just ending abrupt
To the future that i have
The potential i hold up
And only settling for what I have now
And i'm not looking forward
And i'm going to give up now
I'm just gonna sit back and roll with the punches
Instead of pursuing my dreams
For wealth in abundance
And i'm going to crash on the couch of my parents house
And live with them everyday until I get passed 48
I'm not going far and i'm not moving quick
I'm only staying back
And let my parents do all the shit
With me i'm just layin low
And i'm not gonna move
But only move with the flow
I'm not makin money
I have a steady job
Where i go in everyday
And get cussed by angry moms
And i go and fall asleep
In the bed that i cry
And i lift my head from my pillow
And i think about.my life
And i wonder how I got to this place that i'm at
Where i only eat potato chips
And i sit on the couch being fat
Being someone no one really wants
That's why my mom told me to move out in a month
At 40 years old i'm homeless on the street
And struggling to get water or a bite to eat
I'm layin in the overpass
And i'm chillin on the street
And laying on the concrete
I could kill for some sheets
And now i'm down in the dumps
And i dead in me
So i go late at night
And i stand in the street
But then i wait on the side
And i wait for a car
I could see the lights ahead
They aren't very far
So i wait till they get closer
And when they come up the hill
I do what i have to
I do complete my will
Im jump in front of the car
And it doesn't stop for me
I hit the front and i fall
And i'm glad it did speed
So now I can just die
In the middle of the street
And i'm lyin on the ground
Blood drippin from my cheek
And a smile on my face
And light is in my eyes
And the stretcher is getting close
And the body lifted by guys
And the rushin they are doing
And the dyin i am doing
And the smile slowly fades
When they saved my life in days
And now i'm layin in a bed
And the doctor comes in
And the doctor tells me some things
And the tears start to flood then
The doctor hands me a paper
And whatcha know it's a bill
And the doctor walks out
And i knew he just killed
Every little bit of me
That i had left
So i got up
Walked out
And on the street i left
I went farther and farther
And i kept on walkin
And nobody even tried
So i walked not talkin
I kept on walking until i was no more
That's why when it rains where i left
It pours
I left and never came back
Nobody could catch a trace
Nobody could find the body
Nobody could see my face
Because now i'm gone
And i'm in everybody
And i suck off of you
And i leave myself there
And i end up killin u
So now here's my mark
Deep in the dark
And harnessing everything
That i left in that park
And left on that swing
Was my final legacy
And now i'm gone
Just like autumn wind
Icy
Cold to the touch
And never did much
I'm like a lifeless corpse
And i lay there crushed under all the pressure
From others to succeed
I wish they only knew
How much I bleed from my cheek
