I sang so many songs in front of an audience of flaws
I broke so many skulls without laying a finger on their bones
I didn't apologize for breaking apart our family ties
I lay awake I'm out of time
...
**I did not write this, my uncle did, I felt like posting it because it needs to be seen**
...
Stand at the crossroads that darkened sky begins my story
Bereft of glory, I take my moral inventory
That's sure to cure me of my mental slips, relentlessness
And everything between the guy I was and who I am
...
Shook hands with a ghost then we broke bread
Realize we relate ‘cause we're both dead
I have to hand it to you
You consumed me
...
Swallow your golden silence
If you wish to remain complacent
There is a world of cruelty
Addled with suspense and vacant conversations
...
