GOOD vs EVIL


Here we go...now STOP! The words we hear suddenly drop Is it in my head or is it real? Fuck it, it's all the same Listen and learn is what I yearn Sometimes the thought's don't want any part Take it over and don't ever let it stop Obsessing over every fine detail It's hard to control, but I need it to be there People say it's a gift, what gift is this? I wanna ball my eyes out but that won't happen Instead I get mad and shit turns to bad They say use that anger and turn it to good All I can say is, "I wish I could" Never underestimate the power of our brain It's like a machine running haywire It's a brain that's insane Lobotomies are barbaric Shocks fry the brain So what is one to do with a head full of pain? Meds, they can work Does it matter what they do? Twenty years down the road, does our mind still work? Happiness is simple At least that's what they say Just take it day by day And if you can just pray If life was that simple I wouldn't be depraved Good or Evil I battle everyday My mind never rests, especially today! 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes WHAT!? That's how long it takes to get the cravings out You tell a person NO! And what does it do? Makes them want it more And this I know for sure Angel on my right shoulder Devil on the left Which one will win the war? I guess we'll find out next...
