Goodbye Lullaby

Everyone tellin' me I need to calm down
I’ve been goin' crazy, feelin' like I’m losin' it
Though I got it all now, the Devil he been waitin'
I’ve been on his menu, guess I’m finally in his claws now
Trying to avoid the fall now, steal my innocence
I need to repent, I am not perfect
You should now that by now
I’ve been medicatin' everything away
I’m just trying not to ever feel the pain
I already know that it’s wrong
Quit talkin' to me, leave me 'lone
I member some people that say they the light
They be the ones that bout to make me hard as darkness
Skeletons all in my closet, skeletons turn into monster
If there is a God and you’re right here and you’re listening
I’m tired of it all, oh I’m tired of it all
Cause I see death in my nightmares
In my nightmares, in my nightmares
In my nightmares, in my nightmares
I got voices in my head that always come and talk to me
And my fear is Freddy Kruger cause they stalk me in my dreams
I see slave ship, guns, clips, gang colors, prison cells, dope fiends
Jim Crow, Jim Beam, pills, lean, no justice, no peace
Felonies and misdemeanors
Wondering if we curse
Can I get my degree first?
'Fore they murder me, no degree first
It’s America we get the green first
You feed the poor but its greed first
Livin' water but I die of thirst
If there is a God and you’re right here and you’re listening
I’m tired of it all, oh I’m tired of it all
Cause I see death in my nightmares
In my nightmares, in my nightmares
In my nightmares, in my nightmares
But just when I was drowning
Surrounded by a sea of my own darkness
Then light broke through
And just as I was swallowed by my own fears
Then light broke through
Now all I see is you, you, you
God all I see is you, you, you
All I see is you, you, you
All I see is you, you, you, you
