Questioning myself as if there's someone else inside The quicker I'm alone, the shorter I'm alive And this liquor isn't easy over time And the battle wounds I rock are turning disease into rhyme And I just might start to let you down I'm sorry for the way I look and how I really sound Leave it up to me to let my lover bleed And I could just leave when you need my relief, please Everything hurts, but you would hurt for anything And nothing ever works unless you're truly settling A life of awful timing, a book without the binding The characters inside me create the silver lining If you could see what I see, you'd see what I mean Countless fights, countless rhymes Countless times I want to leave this life Better off livin' a lie 'Cause once you go down, you go forever And I just might start to let you down I'm sorry for the way I look and how I really sound Leave it up to me to let my lover bleed And I could just leave when you need my relief, please Might start to let you down I'm sorry for the way I look and how I really sound Leave it up to me to let my lover bleed And I could just leave when you need my relief, please Everything hurts, but you would hurt for anything And nothing ever works unless you're truly settling A life of awful timing, a book without the binding The characters inside me create the silver lining If you could see what I see, you'd see what I mean
