[Verse 1: X the Unknown Variable]
I was born into this world, grew up with great intentions, taught myself these
Morals, but it seems that they're no longer worth the mention
Being drastically changed and mentally deranged
I'm practically insane, the target in a shooting range
After being lined up perfectly, they took their shots
I was handicapped, outnumbered, then they left me there to rot
But it wasn't really me, those ingrates murdered my soul
My heart is still intact, but my mind took its toll
I am no longer a whole, but hardly half a man, my blueprints
Degraded to plans that even I don't understand
If you wish to hold my hand, prepare to hold your head
You'll be lying in your bed wondering if it was something that you said
That made my face turn into one of those who are dead
Remember: You're staring into eyes of the mislead
The misreading of my future, credited to those with age
I'll make it my duty to bring harmony as a sage...
[Verse 2: X the Unknown Variable]
I should've ripped up verse one when I was done
Now, I've got to tell my mother that I'm no longer her son
The dark semi-circles that lie beneath my eyes
Get one shade darker for every dream that dies
The curving of spine is one of many signs
Of the beast that I'm becoming that will lead to my decline
Not to mention the demise of everything I've worked for
All the things that cause me pain will just begin to hurt more
More and more is what they always ask of me
Which is why, for one Summer, my best friend was a flask
Climbing rocky hills after popping chalky pills
If this is what k**s then I'll gladly seek the thrill
The dirt under my fingernails gets more dense as I climb
I was disappointed because what I expected was brine
When my face meets the earth, I'll be ready with a kiss
This is definitely one shot that I know I will not miss...
