I Once Knew a Man...

I once new a man
World mapped out in his hands
All planned with the fam
Daughter coming in 10
Til one night that man took couple of Xans
Godamn that plan all abandoned again
And that's cold
Oldest story ever been told
Father had it perfect leaving kid to grow old
By himself
No help
Not a bit of the wealth
Stay strong keep the tears only falling in stealth

And all alone inside of his mind
He tends to find
The darkest parts of life in his heart start to combine
And maybe he'll feel better by taking another line
Then he's reminded by the father who parted ways with his life

Instead he takes a Vicodin
Passed out by 5 again
Isn't really better, the devil taking the life from him
Next day doubled it, tripled it, til the light end
Pain don't stop, just passed around the circle

Oh I know I don't know
Affection
I see my reflection
I question my best friend
Oh I know I don't know
Direction
Spent life in detention
I question my best friend

All he know is she know
Smile stay placebo
Key note speaker kilos
He thinking its nothing real though

He just tryna cope, but the coke and dope hide the hope
The rope of gold no wonder the woman see you full of smoke
Think it's a solution your mind instead is abusing
Never feeling human you find misread in ruins
Stop it getting cynical
Pinnacle of a criminal
Only killing a single soul
Reflection bloody in hell

You can't say that its all the same
Need change go and get it
Life full of pain
Head up, heart numb, don't feel a thing
Carry on, stay strong, it's part of the game

All night long we toss and we turning
We keep fire in our mind burning
Life stay hard but all of us learning
Fuck they hate, we great and that's certain

Oh I know I don't know
Affection
I see my reflection
I question my best friend
Oh I know I don't know
Direction
Spent life in detention
I question my best friend

You can't say that its all the same
Need change go and get it
Life full of pain
Head up, heart numb, don't feel a thing
Carry on, stay strong, it's part of the game
