gave some rhymes to this girl, she told me she liked them
so i got a new reason to keep recitin
yea keep fighten my mind, stuck in distress
souls pressed on the glass, distracted from being depressed
try an transgress the pain, rid myself of these chains
i’m just sayin, make it through another day, made it through the mental fray
worlds gunna have to deal cause i’m here to stay

gave my rhymes to this angel, she told me they seemed painful
i wondered how long til the rain fell
how long must i sing this song
how long can things keep going wrong
how long til these feelings throng
and fill that space i swore was dead
wipe my face and bow my head
erase the fate hangin from a thread
they say once you make your bed, you’ve gotta lay in it
pull the sheets off an try to escape it,
i’ll meet defeat an i know where the blame sits

gave my rhymes to my memories, they told me i’d be trembeling
and then suddenly, i fell to my knees,
cause only god knows what the devil sees
cast from the sky to hell and still he weeps
but tonight they met as one, while bells rung in the streets
and i felt the beat of a drum deep in my chest
held it while i slept, my dreams are like promises that are seldom kept
and i can feel my soul as it shatters
like a pain of glass thrown to the hammers
an i’ve been torn apart, i’ll try an stammer
out a sentence, with the lord as my witness,
try an gather my self an carry on with my business
how long will i remain in this prison
how long til i regain my vision
how long til the restraint is missin
how long til my pain is risen
this fallen prince just wishin, hes not remembered
walks through this life so tender
hurts himself cause he cant defend her
a broken heart he can’t mend for her
a broken song he can’t end for her
