Voices

Numerous voices telling me
Ive made bad choices
Deep down im voiceless
I lost it from yelling and screaming
My hairline is receding
Cus the stress takes over like a dictator
Turning happiness into manual labor
These emotions tatted on my skin, maybe lazer
Surgery
Even though they never heard of me
My kids are let down
Cus my pain keeps me close to the ground
My dreams fade away like smoke in the air.
Just cus i cant kill my myself im in despair
Im desperate for a way out
All i see is dark clouds in the layout
There really isnt much to say now
Except that life is like an abandoned playground
With the laughter of children
Absent
Like alcoholic parents in remission
Can you really envision
Hold up repeat pause and listen
This is the story of someone different
Who never had a chance to reminisce in
My bad choices and good days
Remember when i used to stress about good grades
Now all i see is my future in the crossfades
Crosslaid
Cus im so strayed
Away
From the every day
Images in my brain
Of pain and drugs and all the things
That come with breakups and failures
Maybe if i knew love i would care more
