Lyrics

Yo

Here's to you

I'm on my last problem

The problem is the only time we solve them the solution don't solve it

So I'm writing this to call out all of the bollocks and issues

As I tilt my head back and swallow all these bottled prescriptions

There's an itch and I scratch it

There's no volumes or chapters

In this vacuum that sucks my soul out of my body

Imagine being lifeless

Like these pictures on the wall I'm attacking

I'm just stacking all the memories on this pile of ashes

It keeps growing towards Heaven and therefore I should be happy?

The sun hits the horizon and I'm what's left in the scraps?

See, this fire isn't burning all of this shit down

And what's left of my life is rotting on the fucking ground

I'm tired of seeing your face when I look in the mirror

And these pictures refill the hatred that I built for your image

I wish the characters within me were as real as these feelings

'cause if I see my reflection I can't help but want to kill 'em

And this is Why I Write

I get tired of seeing pictures of this low life

Take his last breath every night

Yeah, this is Why I Write

I can't wait to take control of this dull knife

Let it go and say I'm all right

Yeah, this is Why I Write

The last time I point a bullet to my head

Will be when I want these motherfuckers dead

Yeah, this is Why I Write

To burn all these pictures off my wall

And nail the broken frames to its grave site

Yeah, this is Why I Write

Take a look at my weapons and this message will make sense

Living life with these stressors, all this pressure, impatience

Clouded mind leaves me blind with divine hatred

Leaves me trapped with The IX I comply then aim

Every single motherfucking nail at the picture

Drop the hammer feel the hot shells hit my temporal

And waste it away

I terrify the lonely eyes and mix their screams with delay

I justify it with these lies on display

And this is Why I Write

I get tired of seeing pictures of this low life

Take his last breath every night

Yeah, this is Why I Write

I can't wait to take control of this dull knife

Let it go and say I'm all right

Yeah, this is Why I Write

The last time I point a bullet to my head

Will be when I want these motherfuckers dead

Yeah, this is Why I Write

To burn all these pictures off my wall

And nail the broken frames to its grave site

Yeah, this is Why I Write

I get tired of seeing pictures of this low life

Take his last breath every night

Yeah, this is Why I Write

I can't wait to take control of this dull knife

Let it go and say I'm all right

Yeah, this is Why I Write

The last time I point a bullet to my head

Will be when I want these motherfuckers dead

Yeah, this is Why I Write

To burn all these pictures off my wall

And nail the broken frames to its grave site

Yeah, this is Why I Write

'cause it keeps me alive

It keeps me alive

Yeah, it keeps me alive

It keeps my alive

Yeah it keeps me alive

And this is Why I Write

'cause it keeps me alive

Yeah, it keeps me alive

Yeah, it keeps me alive

Yeah, this Why I Write

This is Why I Write

'cause it keeps me alive

It keeps me alive
