Official Lyrics:
1st Verse:
Compulsive, obsessive
All these curses Ive been blessed with
Keep me on the ledge, but emotion just gave me a death wish
Searching for my ghost but Im left breathless
Fuck if I know where Im headed, truth is Im helpless
He said, its getting harder to find people that understand
The voice of genius that plays inside these grains of sand
Tiny moments he holds within the palm of his hand
Contemplating life in past tense, there he goes off the rails again
Because this love dont feel right anymore
And I am once again forced to close another door
This pain is just something I cant ignore
Im just a lost soul with trapped wings, trying to soar
And as my thoughts keep me company in this abandoned realm, my tears fall like acidic rain
Destroying everything in my path with dark, demonic pain
Dark demonic pain
Inside my brain
Help me Lord, I’m going insane
2nd verse:
Waiting for my mind to drift away
Like my body is at the gateway
Am I in hell? Could this be the day?
Could it all end in disarray?
Raw emotion weeping in pain
Rawest potion deep within my veins
Carry my burden oh father, I exclaim
Help me fight the darkness inside my brain
Been through this ring of fire once before
But now I have to cross the devil once more
Up against the wall, bagging on the floor
Help me stop this devilish game, please just restore
On the front lines, but Ive always been this prisoner of war
Im in hell, this could be my day
It could all end here, death is underway
Flesh turned to ash, my soul left to decay
Burning in the fires of hell, my mind is left to fade away
Im a problem child drowning in a think tank
Releasing venomous ink but my page still remains blank

Official Lyrics:
1st Verse:
Yeah it’s crazy…
That I still look back, and it hurts all the same
The doors locked, but I still peak through the window pane
Watching lost time play inside the frame
I guess you could say you still live inside my brain
Passion turns into pain and pain back into passion
Its just a chain reaction
When I look for satisfaction
In another distraction
Tell me what happens
When that tragic magic
Turns back to ashes?
So…
I’m trying to move on, not sure who I’m becoming
But I guess I’m still missing something
I guess what they say is true, time heals nothing
Still stuck in this loop, lost in my feelings
I wish I didn’t feel things
I guess I had the real thing
But will my heart ever stop bleeding?
So, Im still searching for closure, Im lost in the dark
And even though its over, I know I’ve lost my spark
2nd Verse:
I want you to know I’ve been struggling with shit every single day
And I can’t write what I need to say
My first love ripped me apart
But God gave me my art
And helped me pick up the pieces to restart
Healed with no closure and fixed my broken heart
But I guess I still wear my heart on my sleeve
Yeah I guess I never know when to leave
So I can agree
What we perceive
Is what we believe
And without it, life’s not as complete
In between
Proceed or retreat?
Admit defeat and hit delete
Should I succeed in deceit?
Searching way back to summer sixteen
We would share our scars
Sitting in that car
We talked about life under the stars
I was at my lowest when I lost focus
I’m still a broken poet
Looking back at life, I guess all we have is moments
3rd Verse:
So yeah I’ll admit I’m still searching
Yeah I guess I’ll admit I’m still hurting
I’m just a starving artist
Just a man working his hardest
To harness
The darkness
That still makes me heartless
My first love tainted my perception
It’s like what I created I’ve learned to question
I feel like I’ve wasted my perfection
But it’s complicated when you go through depression
So many faded reflections
Led to an elevated obsession
Of Infatuated affection
So frustrated with my direction
All I painted was valentine’s deception
You know I used to think we would last
But now I’ve left you back in the past
I told you one day I’ll explain
The pain
That lives inside my brain
I know everyone’s got their demons, but mine are taking over
And even though I’m still hurting, I’m still searching for closure eh

Official Lyrics:
1st Verse:
Ayo, Yo, look...
I’ve grown and seen some nasty shit
Old friends turned to ghosts real quick
Fake hoes, with the fakest love, real friends turned to foes
I guess that’s just how this shit goes
Whack haters, public enemies, I see all the fakes
Turn to my direction; I can see all the hate
Inside the frame
I can see you playing two different plains
Good cop, bad cop, always switching lanes
Trying to be one in the same
But I see right through the mask
Right through the glass
I will blast right through this past
So
I gotta burn the bridge to never cross it again
Look, I’d burn the world down if I never had to see you again
Damn
I always knew you were a poser
I’ll keep my friends close, and keep my enemies’ closer
I used to overdose; and now it’s over
And now it’s closure
I’m showing no remorse
I’m just going to let karma take its course
Hook:
You can run but you can’t hide
In the sand, I’m drawing a line to divide
The real from the fakes
The grass from the snakes
You ain’t gonna make or break
I’m coming for you, no matter what’s at stake
I’ll make you wish that you never lied
Choose your side
I’m drawing the line to divide
The real from the fakes
The grass from the snakes
You ain’t gonna make or break
I’m coming for you, no matter what’s at stake
2nd Verse:
Homies up and left like a bad habit
Its got me hip hopping on these rhymes like a bunny rabbit
But you know what though, Ive had it
Stop lying to me, you trailer trash maggot
Before, after and during
Feelings recurring
Stirring
And transferring
Emotions always blurring
And I’mma direct
Thoughts into effect
You just lost my respect
I’m coming for all the times that you’ve wrecked
Whatever it takes
I’m cleaning out the fakes
It’s time to ghost all the snakes
Eh
Hook:
You can run but you can’t hide
In the sand, I’m drawing a line to divide
The real from the fakes
The grass from the snakes
You ain’t gonna make or break
I’m coming for you, no matter what’s at stake
I’ll make you wish that you never lied
Choose your side
I’m drawing the line to divide
The real from the fakes
The grass from the snakes
You ain’t gonna make or break
I’m coming for you, no matter what’s at stake

Hook By: Alex M. Brinkley
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino
Official Lyrics:
1st Verse:
Maybe it’s my fault, maybe I did this
Go back and forth, what did I miss?
Go over it all again, let’s reminisce
You passed out in my bed, I gave you a kiss
On the forehead as I tucked you in the covers
Took me a few years to uncover
Your true colours
I’m digesting
What you did to me, it was plain disgusting
I was down and out and felt like nothing
I turned to you, was I wrong for trusting?
Or were you wrong for keeping me your secret?
Hiding me for no apparent reason
Running back to whoever was more convenient
Still believing that you were not cheating
When you were sleeping
With me and him in the same evening
You played with my heart, you messed with my feelings
You really are so deceiving
I guess the truth is finally leaking
Pinch me, I’m no longer dreaming
Now everyone knows you are the real demon
Hook:
I’m overthinking again these words inside of my head repeating, repeating I’m overthinking again these words inside of my head they never, they never end
2nd Verse:
I’m overthinking again, so I sit and ponder
You brought the worst out in me
You turned me into a monster
It’s like you had the power to alter
Anything I conjure
Every time you went behind his back
You suddenly had these awful panic attacks
Every time we had sex, you cried
No, you crawled into the corner and lied
Said you were done with him, all teary eyed
And every night you were by his side
But now I got you in the spotlight
Nowhere left to go
I got you locked in my sights
Time to expose this hoe
You’re a lying, cheating parasite
I hate you more than you will ever know
The clock strikes midnight
I’m pulling the trigger and even so
Maybe I’m wrong, maybe you’re right
Maybe I’m the one to blame
But remember, you were the one playing the game
Now I get to cock back and aim
So I take your picture out of the frame
And watch your name burst into flames
Hook:
I’m overthinking again these words inside of my head repeating, repeating I’m overthinking again these words inside of my head they never, they never end
