lyrics

I was just a solemn child, sitting where I had to be-/
I'm my mother's only son, single parent family-/
Didn't ever have to see the split that made my daddy leave/
Coz she was headed back and he just did the fade to black to me/
She raised me single handedly, showed me how it had to be so/
Nan and pops was home while she was going out to bat for me/
And all my life I've had to be alone so much I have to keep/
My mates around me constantly to hold me up and carry me/
You wanna hear the the truth I'll put my soul in what I'm practising/
I'll open cut my skull and show you all inside the cavity/
You wanna hear the truth I wish they told me what I am and if/
I'm gonna touch the shore or tip this boat on my insanity-/
-- And if I go will they imagine me/
-- And will the chauffeur play a track for me-/
-- And will my foes remain attacking me and/
Hold the hate or cancel the emotions they attached to me/
I hope to gain a chance to see the ghosts that chain and shackle me/
Dissolve in flame and ashes just to show they ain't a match for me/
I hope to shake the sad routine I know and gain the majesty/
To hold the weight I carry down and know it ain't the gravity/
I hope to gain the clarity to know when they are trapping me/
Uphold my basic values and opposing Satan's faculty/
Convincing us he never had control and making tragedy/
A thing we take for granted was I'm told his greatest strategy/
The monsters in my mental make emotions sway erratically/
The optimist descends into a hopeless state of agony/
The goblins in my temple play an open game of tag with me/
I'm either running from or trying to overtake them rapidly/
I know the game I have to beat, know the way I have to treat/
The ogres in my attic if I hope to make it back in peace/
I overstand the animals the actual ain't as dark to me/
I know I ain't a captive they encapsulate a part of me-//
