I feel like life is a balance beam,
Finding happiness in madness is an art that I haven’t seen
Having dreams where I wake in tears, shaped from fears
In real life manifested past my sleep
The same night had a dream I don’t wanna break from
Or wake up, the picture painted perfect no paint brush
So many thoughts to act on, or not
To see the evil in people when they believe it’s the fault of God
Or pass on and rot, cause trust, I’ll leave a legacy
Behind even when the last song has stopped
That’s all we got, you see what I mean?
You really think all of Martin Luther’s dreams were of peace?
When a man who commits adultery on his wife
Is a martyr for a whole race, something ain’t right
We see the faults, shove em aside, but blind to facts
We ain’t perfect, and I’m fine with that…


Like who the fuck are you to judge me?
You don’t know shit about my past
What we do right now is all that really counts
You don’t know how long time will last
Between good and bad, choose one and stick it out
You might not know when the line is blurred
Like a tug-o-war, something’s gotta give so choose
What do you think that light is for?

Every killer has a backstory
Some sad shit his dad did to make you feel sad for him
So the media’s content with humanizing a killer
While they apply another number to the life of a victim
You have to see the irony in searching for good in a
Fucking felon but minimizing the life of a person
That works hard to raise kids, but never sees his name in the paper
Till he steals from a bank to pay bills
Rewarding the felons while we ignore who is failing
Until they reach a certain status where they’re sure to be reckless
And that makes profit for everyone but the body that needs it
We’re sick with an obvious treatment
Attention and recognition to challenge a system
That will happily glorify the madness within them
And teach us to do right, and follow the laws
But would be just as happy if we’re falling along

I wanna do right, I know right and wrong
The same wrongs that I’ll die upon
I’ve done good for so long, ignored by those
I really want, I want for them to store this note
It’s confessional time,
Speaking from the heart to whoever’s gonna listen to this record of mine
I got a regular life, a good heart and a brain that has kept
Me from stupid shit I’m destined to find
But I ain’t happy passing class halls unnoticed
And people taking advantage of the fact I’m that small in focus
Cause I’ma do whatever the fuck I want,
You only live once and I’m never gonna settle to benefit
Someone else in temporarily accepting their life is a little better
Than the kid that’s as stubborn as is smart
So fuck, I’m pissed off, but I’ll stay on the course
And break par, for I ever see my name in the stars
