I'm waitin' for the day I gotta say goodbye to my homies
Whether they die or decide to ride without me
I just hope they never doubted me
On this thin ice I stand
Held together with these strands
Of string
You strung
Woven
Was it in love?
Or hate?
Despise and create
A picture from the mind of an artist
I can relate
But I gotta ask..
Was it really worth it?

Was it really worth it?..

Think about a picture so perfect in the works
It was conceived from the seed
Of so many people that live on the same on the same earth as we
And we all feel the same hurt
And the same love
Or was it hate?
But there's no time to debate now
Just let these thoughts race now
What am I trying to prevent when I vent
Into these papers and pages
Just lettin' my mind get lost in the matrix
Do I gotta fake it another day.
Like where do I let the line lay?
Before I go insane
I just may merge the world
And converge on a twirl
A whim
A musicians in's and outs
Skills and doubts
Passion and dissatisfaction
Narcissism and reverse narcissists
Choose your switch
But don't lose your shit
And by shit I mean self
A reflection hails
From kings and heirs
Take one more breath of air
Before you plunge into the depths of multimillionaires
Broken dreams and cracked mirrors
Can you still see your path clear?
Or did you lose it
In the grains of sand placed meticulously
Maliciously steering you making you veer, swerve and deviate
Pick your poison, defibrillate
Afebrile but feelin' restless
You're a mess but you understand the message
And the lesson
That you were trying to relay
From messiahs across the world
But you lay in a pit of self hate
You fear what you create
Loathing every single word your pen makes
But your tryin' to spite your mistakes
Despite the lakes and rivers that you've crossed
You're feelin' lost
Tossed to the side without a breath left to cry
And a shoulder left to lean
The quest of every fiend
For the music you're losin' your self esteem
