[verse 1]
pain, misery
got me in this jacket restrained, physically
huggin' myself, one man embrace, visibly
in love with myself but i'm deranged, mentally
me and my foes hold the same, enemies
brain, injuries, it, hurt to think and so i
drink tho it's killin me, the, worst of days
is when the sun shine, prefer the rain
lights off, close the curtains, shades and blinds
see i'm blind to the shades of gray, besides
it's all or nothin, and my tank contains... right
you guessed it, so i share a new message
for the inmates with whom i share cells, take lesson
life's just a jouney, tainted by progression
cuz cradle to the gurney, the exact same position
no possessions, no control for yourself, all alone,
no exceptions, with your mind goes the soul
and it starts when the heart turns cold
[hook]
when the heart turns cold
and you don't really care how the cards unfold
you'd rather disappear, that's a long dark road
too late for anybody to save ya
when the heart turns cold
and you don't really care how the cards unfold
you'd rather disappear, that's a long dark road
too late for anybody to save ya
[verse 2 - Rah Scrilla]
... i live another ghetto story homie
the streets is lonely, nobody ever warned me
i was raised right but fell into the dark side
my heart died, so i live reckless til my soul fly
so you should take it as a warning, you're an outsider
that's like gasoline here tryina douse fire
this is hell that we call home, where the demons roam
make the warmest person turn cold
you know, death's around the corner
girls turn to prostitution, smokin' marijuana
decent people turn to thieves, drugs crush faith and belief
i guess it's just the way that we cope
dope, crack, booze, smoke, the way that we live
you know, babies killin' babies, kids havin' kids
desensitized really, and really you should fear that
and you should know that it all starts

[verse 3]
tension's on the climb cuz i'm cornered by my rage
imprisoned by a frown cuz i'm focused on my pain
vengeance on my mind, blood boilin in my veins
gaze caught up in a daze, days slowly float away
age, only gonna raise, so it's limitin my time
and i'm in a frame of mind where it's in my fate to die
why eliminate the lies, they hurt less, let's hide behind
this disguise of mine called bliss, stitched wit smiles and pride
tried and tried but i'm stuck, in these chain and cuffs
by the pain of trust that's betrayed by lust
so i became a lush, another drink i flush
out my brain and guts, until i don't wake up
sleep's the cousin of the only thing certain
is it worth wakin up to another day hurtin'
no goals, no purpose, so i sold my soul to a merchant
who purchase froze the flame burnin
