Lyrics

My body's in quicksand, yet my mind precipitates
Still behind the wheel, yet I'm always running late
You know I'm still here, sometimes it doesn't seem clear
My vision keeps blurring, but I'm still able to steer
I want to stop the ride, might stick around just to fly
I'm always a joker, even through the dark nights, Chris Nolan
Got insomnia like it's my one memento
Following the prestige of my idols who left the ghetto
I've got too many problems, and not enough solutions
The shit gets so confusing, now I'm seeking retribution
All the shit I've been through, spend a day in my shoes
You'd probably blow you brains out
'Fore you made it through high school
These past few days I've been feeling unwell
My mind's a gift but it's my own personal hell
Spent time away, now I just wanna go home
Nobody can convince me that I ain't alone
The ants are crawling all over me
I scratch too many times, I make it bleed
Beauty on the outside, beast inside of me
Screaming at the sky, "Man, fuck this disease!"
The ants are crawling all over me
I scratch too many times, I make it bleed
Beauty on the outside, beast inside of me
Screaming at the sky, "Man, fuck this disease!"
If I were to die, would it keep you up at night?
No more broken promises, no more asking for advice
I try to take some time to recollect my mind
But my memory's erasing, and I forget the design
Some days I'm so talkative, other days, I'm so reserved
It's almost like I was re-birthed into a kid that's never heard
Used to fly high like a bird, now I walk with broken wings
And I no longer am concerned with everything that's killing me
And I don't know where I'm going, but I still haven't lost hope
In this boat I'm rowing, I'm stuck inside my own scope
I keep climbing towards the top, but I get knocked back down
I keep fighting, I'll never stop until I hear the bell sound
And some days it gets ugly, sometimes I wanna hang myself
Tie my belt around my neck and jump off the nearest shelf
All they wanna do is drug me
'Cause they can't handle the unplugged me
And they think they're so above me, yet they swear that they love me
The ants are crawling all over me
I scratch too many times, I make it bleed
Beauty on the outside, beast inside of me
Screaming at the sky, "Man, fuck this disease!"
The ants are crawling all over me
I scratch too many times, I make it bleed
Beauty on the outside, beast inside of me
Screaming at the sky, "Man, fuck this disease!"
And every time I swallow one of these fucking pills
I feel my emotions dissipate into something that isn't real
I still anticipate all those dreams I had as a kid
But all I have protecting me is a broken, open shield
You can't really die at all if you've never lived
Used to feel so fucking small, I just never fit in
Tried to draw a picture for my shrink
Asked him, "Sir, what do you think?"
He looked me in the eyes
And said, "If I was you, I wouldn't drink"
Tied to my past like the noose around my neck
You can hide, it won't last, it's just way too complex
Can't decide?
Let me guess, I'll be you'll say you're depressed
All the lies, you've regressed
You were making such progress
Jumping off the stool, everything starts to tighten
I can feel the fade to black, and I am no longer frightened
It doesn't feel off track, no, I'm right where I belong
And now you want me back, I'll bet you'll say we got along
