[ManChild]
Left my comfort zone
Struck a match onto a blazing trail
Found myself alone
Can't win when there's a million ways to fail
Wound up on a worthless throne
Walk in rain along the rails
Locked in pain, my songs just nails
In the coffin
I'm wantin'
To stop and
It's shocking
But there's no way
I chase the train
Spend days in mental jail
But then I'll fail
And when I'm there
Again I fail
The days are rare
I stay on trail
On track
Bomb flat
Want that
To go on past
But no hope
I know, nope
I won't go
Oh no…
So I make my shot in the dark
Take my walk in the park
Delay the wants of my heart
To stay so far off, apart
From the pain, that stalks like a shark
Beneath the surface
I need a purpose
It seems so perfect
But I feel so worthless
My words that
Just happen
To rhyme when I'm rapping
Sometimes I just snap and
I haven't
Had this
Fact in
The back of
My head and I'm back on
The edge but I'll stop when
I'm dead...
But that could
Be faster
Then I predict
When we think
Of these things
And feel sick
From the kids
That don't know
That they hurt us
But the words just
Make us feel worthless
And that's what the world does
It hurts us
Here I am in desperate silence
Perpetually dying
Undetectably crying
Inevitably rhyming
Helplessly trying
Well, I am just whining
Why am
I inside combining
Iambs
Who can I rely on
Why am I even trying?
But really
What are the chances
That someone will hear me?
That I will gain fans? And
Clearly, I'm just daydreaming
That maybe things
Will go my way, but then
They screaming:
“Just break even”
There's nay reason
When everything's gray-seeming
At least black will change scenery
Shooting at nothing
Hitting something
Living one thing
At a time
Rap and rhyme
Attacks and primes
Stacks of Dimes
Gaps in mind
Perhaps, then I
Collapse, then Time
Elapse, and find
The facts of life
Crapshoot, right?
I have to fight
Despite
The night
Firing at shadow
Tiring at that, though
Lining up rap flows
Firing at Shadows
[Reprise]
So I make my shot in the dark
Take my walk in the park
Delay the wants of my heart
Make my shot in the dark
