Unhealthy
I’m not healthy
Living amongst you
So stealthily
You don’t know me
Been through some shit
Lost the key
Locked out of my own mind
But I’m fine
Still showing you I’m kind
So totally fine
Not lying
Fuck it
Little white lie
Skittle size lie
Little bit, she cried
Tongue still tied
Writing these rhymes
Reading those lines
Unable to speak most times
I feel kinda unwell
Already, the king
he fell
Every day, lifting that dumbbell
Crawling outta my shell
What’s the difference between me and you
Can’t tell
Telling me you can’t relate
To the state
Of my mind
Got half a brain
Tryna find
Myself
But that’s hard
Blinding light
Can’t see right
Cannibals take a bite
Every night
Great now I gotta fight
Uh oh where’s my guard
Uh oh put it down
Uh oh taking hits from a clown
Uh oh wait
Is that a frown?
So dehydrated
His tears, they’re brown
Barely sliding down
His cheeks
Every night
He shrieks
He tries to get rid of the freaks
in his head
He’s gonna fill it with fucking lead
He’s nearly fucking dead
Still filled with dread
Please lay him down in his bed
No?
How about instead…
No?
But what if…
No?
I’m so tired
Could we maybe just…
Oh…
