Step one
Look up to your brother he's in your corner
And has a back when you've got none, don't let him down
I told someone my secretsI told all of my secrets to a bucketI'm afraid they won't holdwho the hell needs a leaky bucket with their wordstaped to the bottomI'm afraid I've given my guns
The stars have alignedGot you on my mindMy heart's cold and oh so lonelySo I swallow some sinFor the pain that I'm inA cigarette, a blade, a dietWhen we promised we'd stop
Every time I try to think it's like a haze
Engulfs my mind.
So negative, so deflating
My mind is in a bind.
For you see, my creativity
Is trapped in this haze.
So deflating, so negative
With the weight of 12 worlds on your shoulers
the years of adolesence take a tole on your mind
the same years that your parents spend theirs reminiscing in
are the same that you enter this competition for a better life
Battered and worn down all day
Only to rise renewed with the moon
Temptation lurking in the heart
Leaking into our actions
Forgetting the pains of the past
And venturing forth into the new horizon
I am the quad core intel i7 chip in the beautiful aluminum unibody MacBook Pro.
I am the retina display in the iPhone 5.
I am the 4g LTE in the all new iPad.
I am the 32 gb of storage in an iPod touch.
So many days in that black swivel chair
Clicking on clues, who needs fresh air?
Staring at the screen with its curve like the earth
You’d think I’d been doing this from at least birth
