i sit on these steps, feeling like the valley of death/
shall fear no evil, react spiteful and speak lethal/
hallow hearted adolescent upheaval how the kid grew/
glamorize death in lyrics, think about whats underneath you/
a father, grandmother, lord forbid it be your younger brother/
talk murder without knowing- the grief to lose another/
speed of the world depresses being stuck in whats departed/
the black of the bottom emptiness emotions arctic/
hard liquor pumps through thin bodies- tolerated essence/
life lessons never remembered, pictures of scattered segments/
surviving off blessings, days dusking what seems like seconds/
losing years in these high times, notice a dimmed reflection/
the karma of a sinner summer nights feeling like cold winter/
old friends passing and asking them what their gettin int-a/
no replies close my mind, like a fiend for embracement/
stayed the same while peers change, reality escaping/
