yeah youre probably lookin at me

like im some kinda freak

but i can promise you that i'm sick,

as sick as i'll ever be.

and i know ive been gone for so long,

but i'm back and im back with this beat

this aint me. you dont even know what you see.

ive been through hell and back, climbed every moutain, chopped every tree

beatin addiction after addicition trying to help blind men see

and for every limb that i chopped down,

nothing branched out for me.

i've been stuck in this rut for years

no path has ever cleared for me.

and no one has my eyes, no one has my mind,


no one knows what i've seen, or how many tears i've cried.

i'm sick of people going

i'm sick of people dying

but at the end of the day there's no denying

that this is what i've got and it's all that i can get

i've traveled down the wrong road

and it's slippery when wet

it turns into a highway sometimes

and i just know that i

can't keep up traveling on the middle line

but this aint about taking sides

its about whether to live while youre alive

or to let yourself just die

and i've lived more lives than mine

to just see anothers crumble and fry

sometimes i feel like i

cant live this life sometimes

and an easy way out would just be to lie

but you cant lie when its somebody's life on the line.


every turn, every corner, there's another side.

some people leave, some people die.

if you don't keep going, all you'll do is hide.

thats no way to live a life.

and that is no way that ill live mine.
