Collapse - Cypher

Time and time I’m a slave to my fate

Time and time like a waste of the space

Time and time like I’m wasting away

Time and time like I’m facing my grave and I fall

And I call my lifeline and it’s raw

There’s no one home just a dial tone it’s a tight rope that I just can’t cross

I feel the pain of thought stunning blast I try to fight back

I hear my train of thought coming fast I’m tied to the tracks

Knocked unconscious by my conscience but that’s the least my fears

Only thing that stops my conscience screaming constant in my ear

Talking never stopping I’m dropping down to my knees

And there’s nothing to stop it it’s constant I beg and plead

I’m haunted by my conscience this can’t be how this plays out

Don’t understand how it could be there's only one way out

 

Eventually it’ll all fall

The ground beneath you cracks

Pressure builds up like a wall

Eventually that wall collapse

 

Pressure don’t always make diamonds

Treasure exists but you don’t always find it

Lessons exist but you’re blinded

You never did get that you were one of a kind and

You’ve fallen a victim to stress

Depicted your life yet depicted the mess

How could you believe that’s as good as it gets

Believe me shouldn’t you’ve seen nothing yet

I got more love to invest

Or at least had before your death

Now I sit here a wreck

Now I got nothing but hatred to give

Now I sit patient till death

Thinking on back to the days with my kid

Trying to get out the haze that I’m in

Trying get out of this life that I’m in so maybe I can see your face again

Now I feel I’m a slave to my fate

Now I feel like a waste of the space

Now I feel like I’m wasting away

Now I feel like I’m facing my grave and I fall

And I call my lifeline and it’s raw

There’s no one home just a dial tone it’s a tight rope that I just can’t cross

I feel the pain of thought stunning blast I try to fight back

I hear my train of thought coming fast I’m tied to the tracks

Now that he is gone I’m feeling the way my son did

After all these years nothing brought us closer than that gun
