Close your eyes Close your eyes Don't close your eyes Close your eyes Please don't close your eyes
[Verse 1]
I walk a thin line every day of my life with the way that I live And everything I say and I write Words meshing with the melody, I'm staying up nights I will fuck, cuss, fight, or pray in this mic I been ugly, I been beautiful I'm a serpent sliding inside of a sin musical Since in uteral was unusual, isolated Christ I waited up nights with hatred in a Chrysler wasted Driving drunk, hit the gas pedal flash to a suicidal fantasy My head through the dash would crash metal Reflecting the flashing lights from the ambulance vans Trying to bandage a man who lays bloody in a pool Nobody is a fool, just the world's either lovely Or it's ugly and it's cruel On the out looking in, so suddenly it's you Inside trying to get out with nothing you can do Except
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
So many times I coulda quit, I shoulda Shit, I tried so hard, it wouldn't hit, I couldn't fit In this saturated world of infatuated girls Frustrated my head twirls, my mind spins The days of cravings for alcohol end with dying friends Time spent and a pocket full of lint I thought about a bullet sent in my head So many of us did and some of us injected the lead Instead I respected the dead and elected for life So I could share emotion breathe breath in the mic In a second a second life will ensue Cause I believe evil exists but good is true And I can see the good in you I can't say the same for me There was times I was lost walking aimlessly So I listened to the taps of the rain to sleep And when it rapped on the pane yo it sang to me
