Byron Henderson - Peace Of Mind (M.A.N.J.) lyrics

[Verse: Byron] They say that God won't ever give you more than you can handle So what are we calling this? Arguments, losses, traumatic experiences causing a switch in your personality Battling demons, almost never concerned with your own well being You're seen as heartless, but wait Let's dive into dude living within these syllables Unafraid to be ridiculed as long as he can live for you girls Girls that give him reasons to fight when he's miserable Girls that when he dies, he'll be living through, living proof No explaining his numbness But it's a must to know he swallowed a compa**, only way to follow his gut They're like a shield around him, won't allow him to self-destruct There's something weird about him, rock bottom is where he's stuck And his mental state is chaotic, memories aren't clear Replays of the violence, almost like it's watching him now He's been broken, hurt, and to make it worse Only three out of four are walking this Earth And he's been dwelling, saying that he'll be okay Telling people that it hurts, but he just can't display the pain His family on the other hand, they see another side of him Who knows how they'd react if they knew everything he's hiding from Trapped in his mind, like a prisoner in a cage A microphone will never save him from him when he's face to face I just hope to never see the day either of you are hopeless Or the aftermath, and the way these people just enter, scope, and bang [Hook: Byron] They say you come into the world alone, and you die the same But as long we have each other, it was not vain I've come so far, no we've come so far from absolutely nothing So I have to say, I'm not ashamed, at all More love, more peace here More love, more peace here More love, more peace When my time comes, please I just hope I leave with peace of mind [Verse: Byron] One day they love you, a second later they love to hate you Different personalities play a role, that's human nature You know the feeling of hearing somebody died And though you never knew them, a part of you dies with them? You fantasize about maybe spending some time with them, just get to know them? Or dream of taking a ride with your closest loved one Just hoping you both survive another year You've been through enough, cried a lot of tears and it leaves you feeling empty Making that year or two that went by feel like a day as the people you went to school with die Your equilibrium's off and its showing It's growing harder to know anybody else, when you barely know who you are anymore Resort to a bottle as empty as your soul As empty as the promises and threats we like to throw When you're the only person left to show some type of rationality Reality, it'll do away with you slow Everyone ain't for you, vice versa But it's a shame how everyone tries to be different, that only makes you the same Stressed out like, why stress it? The pain is only temporary See these girls next to me, these are God's blessings And if I'm to die tonight, I just need a hug from every one of them To let them I know that I love every one of them I'm smart enough to know that I'm the only person stopping me Though I'm better than most, I'm a reflection of what not to be [Hook: Byron] [Outro: Byron] I know a lot of y'all are thinking about it But in this world, you never know what you can be Part of the reason why you shouldn't give up on you Also, because I haven't given up on me Honest…
