Downward Spiral
Everybody's walking in a downward spiral
Everybody's walking in a downward spiral
A lunatic encaged in his own brain
Makeshift thoughts taught me survival in this game
I might as well keep aim
Cause if I give up now I'll never change
Who am I to blame
I developed an interest like a prescription
So easy to O.D. its hard to feed my addiction
A victim to my own crimes so why the hell am I living
I share my trust with people who care but apparently too much
And caring is now back stabbing my gut
For all the fucks who decided to take the lies and the blame
I can't erase that shame
But I take each day like I'm living in hell as it swells in my veins
This is what I portray as I gain the respect in my name
So for this I take the frown off my face
Stand up to surround my anger and rage
To conquer this this game with all of my pain
Making a change for myself that no one can break
Everybody wants to step on me
Confused with life who am I supposed to be
Feeling suppressed by all the pests
And nobody sees what this shit has done to me
Who am I supposed to believe
Everybody's walking in a downward spiral
Everybody's walking in a downward spiral
Loneliness has set in as my sedative
Music drains the thoughts which stops the pain
Again I made the same mistake and put faith in my brain
Still I wrap myself in a straight jacket
Refusing harm from my insane habits
But again I break my mental state
Lose control of myself and fade away
Until my brain displays of an image of a gift I had in place
Finally my life makes sense
But it's too late to save
Everybody wants to step on me
Confused with life who am I supposed to be
Feeling suppressed by all the pests
And nobody sees what this shit has done to me
Who am I supposed to believe
Everybody's walking in a downward spiral
Everybody's walking in a downward spiral
He grew up in a broken home with loaded folk
Learned how to hold his own by choking throats
His only hope was to keep his dome afloat
And reap what begun to sew
He started to load his clothes into a garbage bag
Taking all he had and called his dad but through all this laughed
Made a smirk and called him fat
Then after he saw this man and the way he lived
He knew things would be a different state of bliss
And that began to change this kid
Alcohol cut his brain in fifths and shared depression with laziness
Moved on to engrave his wrists and after all of this he remained with him
Learned life was a crazy bitch and hated it
He needed maintenance on his life of shamelessness but no one gave a shit
Could you blame this kid
Always stepped on and no one had faith in him
So he scraped his wrists of all the wounds and made this fit
Everybody wants to step on me
Confused with life who am I supposed to be
Feeling suppressed by all the pests
And nobody sees what this shit has done to me
Who am I supposed to believe
Everybody's walking in a downward spiral
Everybody's walking in a downward spiral
Everybody's walking in a downward spiral
A lunatic encaged in his own brain
Makeshift thoughts taught me survival in this game
I might as well keep aim
Cause if I give up now I'll never change
Who am I to blame
I developed an interest like a prescription
