[Intro]
(Whisper, Rain Sounds) "Cage... the pain..."
[Long Instrumental Break - B**t Drop]
[Verse 1]
(Deep Male Rap, Lo-Fi B**t)
"I haven't been sleeping well lately."
I'm sitting here alone, not even tired
Wishing the reason why was bein' wired
Wondering why I haven't been fired
I've been hating my job since I got hired
It barely pays enough to put food on the plate
One good thing is that I've lost a lot of weight
But now my spine's begun to deteriorate
And it leaves me in a bad mental state
[Chorus]
(Distorted Male Vocals, Melodic)
"I don't like having thoughts like these."
Though my mind says it's time to resign
And the end seems like a clean design
I still believe that my story is mine
I won't let my own pain sever the line
[Verse 2]
(Heavy 808 Bass, Gritty Male Flow)
"Control is something I no longer have."
Hands tremble and lose their grip
I lose my balance and start to trip
My ankle always feels like it's about to rip
My memory has begun to slip
I know these are things related to age
It makes me want to yell out in rage
But I keep that locked up tight in a cage
Instead, I write these words on a blank page
[Chorus]
(Distorted Male Vocals, Melodic)
"I don't like having thoughts like these."
Though my mind says it's time to resign
And the end seems like a clean design
I still believe that my story is mine
I won't let my own pain sever the line
[Verse 3]
(Minimalist B**t, Desperate Male Voice)
"I can't handle this pain anymore."
I pray to a god I don't even know
Hoping mercy is something he'll show
But they're just empty prayers, I know
Gods are fictitious, created long ago
I don't want a bunch of daily medication
Pharmaceuticals have a reputation
Of slowly killing your liver in relation
Too many pills taken in over saturation
[Chorus]
(Distorted Male Vocals, Melodic)
"I don't like having thoughts like these."
Though my mind says it's time to resign
And the end seems like a clean design
I still believe that my story is mine
I won't let my own pain sever the line
[Verse 4]
(High Intensity, Aggressive Male Screaming)
"I don't want to die from a failed liver."
Nor do I want to always live in pain
As my health slowly goes down the drain
My mental prowess will slowly wane
My whole life will wash right down the drain
Disability's something I never did desire
I want to work until I can retire
These thoughts burn like wildfire
As the pain levels keep getting higher
[Outro]
(Fading Music, Sad Male Vocals)
"I don't like having thoughts like these."
Though my mind says it's time to resign
And the end seems like a clean design
I still believe that my story is mine
I won't let my own pain sever the line
Sever the line...
