Bed of Misery

I hate the way this makes me feel
Every time I roll this blunt
I feel like its a deal
that I'm signing with the devil
right on that dotted line
Just to get up in this booth
I would probably sign
yeah i would probably give 
Anything away
Its been my dream
Been haunting me everyday
Now I sit and write
Think About it and fight
Back the urge to ignite
This verse to your ears
And extinguish the 
light that you see
when you  
just believe
that there's hope
In the distance
That this pain
Cannot be
Forever lodged in your brain
Making you go crazy
Or just feel insane
It ain't all in vain

I cannot stop it
These walls are closing in
Deliver me from this
Addiction 
that is setting in
I just cant let it go
Its taking over me
I have to lay in my 
own bed of misery

yeah I got to hide
I just seem cant let it go
And now I feel as if
I'm about to lose my soul
....anything has got to be
Better than laying in 
my own bed of misery

I keep walking along
This path 
That I feel I just
quite don't belong
I'm confused and I'm anxious
And I'm all types of stressed
I got to get these thoughts
Off my chest
Cuz I ain't going to rest

Til I can grow strong
enough To wrap my mind
Around whats going on
I feel like fate is playing me
But I don't know the rules
So I keep making mistakes
And feeling like a fool
Trying to see
And just believe
That there's hope
In the distance
That This pain cannot be
Forever lodged in my brain
Making you go crazy
Or just feel insane
It ain't all in vain

I cannot stop it
These walls are closing in
Deliver me from this
Addiction 
that is setting in
I just cant let it go
Its taking over me
I have to lay in my 
own bed of misery

yeah I got to hide
I just seem cant let it go
And now I feel as if
imma bout ta lose my soul
....anything has got to be
Better than laying in 
my own bed of misery
