I'm running short on life,
They marking my days off like an inmate with a calendar/
That's why sometimes I smoke on that haze, the color lavendar/
I try to remain calm and not battle the other battlers/
But the demons wanna rush my soul
Forcing me to run laterals/
I've tap danced on thin ice with my sneakers on fire/
Life has forced me to do so many turns that my blinkers expire/
I ride hard on this road of life in a streetcar named desire/
To one day arise from the fallen put on a pedestal, be admired/
With this 20/20, I can't quite see -if- I, will be de-i-fied/
But I'm trying to be the only person to leave ya city on fire
Since Nero died/
I got a villian's heart mixed with a hero's pride/
I'm trying to be found, lost in this ocean I can hear Nemo's cries/
Everything that was good, it seems like I shunned it/
But I gotta change
Everyday I speak to my unborn through my girlfriend's stomach/
Just the other day, for the first time
I got to hear it's heartbeat pumping/
I contemplated suicide, now I guess I've got to live for something/
