Incident

Lightning strikes, thunder claps
Tree branch on the window taps
I'm back on my emo rap
Random lines to fill the gaps
Acted tough, delayed attack
Saw a bluff so I talked back
Thought he was just going to bark
But he bit now it's all dark
Blurry, scary
Distraught? Very
But somehow I can see clearly
No surprise I'm feeling weary
'Bout to go but I'm not ready
It's too late, there goes the whistle
Goodbye Earth, I swear I'll miss you
My last breath, then dead's the issue
Not so fast, it's not that easy
It just occurred to me that I'd done something very stupid
Stupid's even an understatement, it was very foolish
I should've just assumed from the start that the gun was loaded
The gun was loaded, but it's too late to do what you wish
I'd barely make it out alive
It'd be a miracle if I survive
What is the time? It's way past five
Don't push or try, no use, don't thrive
I saw the flood and took a dive
One with the flow, I feel alive
Ironically, I'm 'bout to die
Why did I even try to lie?
He had a gun, I had a knife
I'm pretty sure he has a wife
Somehow I saw it in his eyes
He needed help and some advice
Too bad I couldn't give it to him
The one I could give to him
I refused to give to him
Now I'm sitting down here bleeding
It's seven in the evening
Two hours, nobody's seen me
Nobody's tried to reach me
Not surprised nobody's grieving
Why would they?
"It's Steven
He's crazy and has demons
He's always in his feelings
Immature"
That's what they believe
I'm not sorry for being myself
Bullet holes all o'er my body, there's a cellphone on the shelf
Got my smartphone right beside me, tried to use it to get some help
Had no network and besides, if it did, who'd come to help?
Who'd come to help a guy like me?
My "friends" don't take me seriously
I'm pissed, they're not, I'm not, they're pissed
I say everything literally
People don't like being told the truth
Too bad, that's what I'm all about
I think I might've lost a tooth
Oh God, I'm bleeding from my mouth
Lightning strikes and thunder claps
It's getting late, it's time to wrap
This story up, the guys in blue
Soon showed up and in time due
They
Found me half-dead on the floor
Bleeding bad and with my right arm stretched out towards the door
Got me on a stretcher and then in the back of the van
Somewhere in my subconscious, I could hear "Damn! What a man"
Opened my eyes
I was somewhere in the clinic with a whole lotta lights
I looked around for a moment, took a deep breath and sighed
Thought to myself "I'm alive, I'm so glad I didn't die"
