I'm spending too much time inside my head
If the thoughts don't turn more positive
Then the parks, tunnels, alleys will soon be my bed
And there's a pitch I can reach
And a melody I can use
And I'll Abuse Abuse Abuse
Until the blood won't let us decipher
Whether it's me, you, or the tragedy
That's the real muse
Lot's of talk has been going around
And it's only purpose is to bring me down
And I'm in shock so I'll let it run its course
Got a death grip on guilt, trying to find room for remorse
I'm only hiding in plain sight
Hoping you catch up so we can fight
I don't think you're wrong or I'm right
It's too dark now and the tensions tight
I'll wait till the morning and dissect your motives in the light
And I can't forgive
And Not feel like a bitch
Cause the wounds still fresh
But I'll take it stitch by stitch
