I can only… illuminate the few who I choose to hate
Before I count the number of shots this reugar makes
If I cud cumulate my massive mistakes
Half empty or full .. How would I know if I see the glass is opaque
I know where I stand… im not gona have it break
By miscalculating food on my plate
I need to stay safe….. not by stayin in the same place
Or goin out in the world keeping a straight face
The light stays faint ….
And im stuck in a tomb I call my room just writing complaints
If they could only take a measurement of my development in a case
Theyd be able to take the united states in a day
….And u thought this was a game right?
For all my bets youd expect my cards to have been played right
U just stay tight
And watch a man act out the real life without havin any stage fright

::chorus::
cuz u see me hopin what I wana hope takin what I wana take
but I understand that I’m always gona make mistakes
lovin who I wana love keepin who I wana keep
but I gotta fight for the one I want down and deep
risin when I wanna rise cryin when I wana cry
but I’m always gona be a victim to my lies
I aint gona ever fall aint gona ever sleep
Till the day I see whole world to their feeet


anybody thinking the same thoughts as me
would agree that weve all just differed from our dreams
to what I would believe and what I would achieve
to how much I would work and how much Id recievee
Its not with ease and it still goes down the drain
The only thing left in my life issss pain
…..and the strain….the calm before the storm came
I still don’t have enough precipitation for the rain
And Bein from the brain and pumpin in veins
I still don’t see a change from the rest and me
The only difference is that I don’t like to live in this pain
So I have it all turned into energy
….And u thought this was a game right?
For all my bets youd expect my cards to have been played right
You just stay tight….
And watch a man brighten up the whole world and himself with the same light


::Chorus::





If I could take the number of lies … and simply divide
By the times in my mind im corrupted inside
I would find a society crashed up
A world full of people who see some things don’t add up
The phenes for mad drugs the screams of sad love
And not bein able to see under the rug
Yo its tough…I just gotta unpull the plug
and hope the mysteries in our minds remain shut
If my life was a trial and death be the defense
They’ll never win against a prosecution that will never rest
I am forever blessed
Cuz god didn’t deprive the energy that resides under my very flesh
….And u thought this was a game right?
For all my bets youd expect my cards to have been played right
You just stay tight….
And watch a man overcome himself and the whole world in the same night

::chorus::

::bridge::
When we figure em out
Well overcome, overcome the shadows of our doubts (x4)
