Scared and scarred


The rhinos raging The crayons making My life or my dream Don't slip up on ur cream Cremated Danny was Will bed bugs be the death of the beetle buzz Beez' nees' u need to get to Mama mama mama got issues With temptations Decisions Virtue Breakthrough Don't murder your brother or your potential daughter Don't give light to the darkness surrounding Astounding Profounding How u think of me when u can't sleep And u can't sleep without me And you can't be up without me And money lately been slipping And my mind my life I've been missing And money ain't the only problem And God is the only doctor And my appointments been over My depression been sober My liquor did nothing We fought and got cussing I wouldn't trust me with lies I'm better with truth U could tell it by my blue eyes My brown one's I drown On account of you You'd kill for me Easily Time tells what spell we'd unveil Man secrets from outside sources never fold Never good U don't wanna U don't wanna U don't wanna U don't wanna Tell her Your folks got it misunderstood I'm good my heads good my heads straight We straight If you'd be straight  I'd take half My ears open There's disdain There's pain There's shame In us All three All five of us Danny would've been great Mom shoulda played Her role, but it's too soft, She too hard I accept scars These aren't love scars This is bad bars We're ingesting We're investing We're contesting We're not ready Time steady Hearts heavy My hearts hard My dreams scarred for life My life will never be the same And its because of me Because of us You don't wanna You don't.
