Devolved

Trapped in my cage again
The door is open but I can't bring myself to escape
I've been busy wiping every emotion away
I'm finally the filth that I swore I'd erase
I'm doubtful, hateful, discouraged
I used to be the savior, I'd make my foes perish
I've lost my sense of kindness, my mercy, forgiveness
Regressed into a worthless excuse of a man

What's the point of giving back?
There ain't nothing I can send
What's the point of talking through things?
I'll just run my mouth again
What's the point of your affection?
Seems it's never sinking in
I don't deserve it at all (What?)
Nothing can save us we're all (Gone!)

Somewhere on this road I lost me
Everything that made me what I am was left behind
A shadow I can barely recognize

Sold my own soul to my demons
After all that I promised I said I would stay in my lane
Corrupted by my determination
To mend all my lesions with false validations

What's the point of giving back?
There ain't nothing I can send
What's the point of talking through things?
I'll just run my mouth again
What's the point of your affection?
Seems it's never sinking in
I don't deserve it at all (What?)
Nothing can save us we're all (Gone!)

Somewhere on this road I lost me
Everything that made me what I am was left behind
A shadow I can't recognize
Crossed beyond my lines I've failed me
Is there a redemption for my soul to be revived?

Robbed of every expectation I
Hoped my mind would settle down if I
Turned into the enemy
My decisions cut in incisions in my personality
Now that I've turned my back on all of my brethren
For my own betterment
I made a settlement breathing in vain
Lost every merit I've earned to my name
I have no excuse but I'll spit 'em while I make 'em
And I'll put on a show to get your sympathy (Oh!)
Looking away from the problems I can solve
So I can roll up a J and make new enemies (Oh!)
Always projected my dominance
Never felt I earned my prominence
Never found a solution to my reverse evolution
Descending down the depths to never rise again (Oh!)

Somewhere on this road I lost me
Everything that made me what I am was left behind
A shadow I can't recognize
Crossed beyond my lines I've failed me
Is there a redemption for my soul to be revived?
