Hidden Truth

So many judge without a thought 
following the easy route put forth 
direction created by those I accuse 
once friends whom I removed 

but how long ago no one asks 
EIGHT YEARS AGO in the past 
eight years since they saw me last 
in my silence they place a mask 

Colino, Dom, Kev, we fell out then 
we fell out but they say it didn't happen 
and as I stayed quiet they be yapping 
telling the world I'll be back again 

and that I'm taking time out 
because my mind needs a time out 
as it's mentally collapsed in doubt 
and broken from the drugs about 

I'm sick of this being seen as fact 
said goodbye in 2013 and didn't go back 
not cus I needed time to get back on track 
but because I was sick of being treated crap 

I snuck out the day Archers arm was put in a cast 
when Cols pulled the gas pipe and caused a blast 
the day I snuck out the hallway when I asked 
Lauren "shut the door quietly" as I escaped fast 

Told her don't tell them til ten minutes have passed 
when Colino rang me saying I'd upset her  
demanding I return as his anger massed 
controlling as usual but the control was over 

I was gone, telling Lauren before hand 
I wouldn't be back but she didn't understand 
listening to Dom "he wants attention man" 
always desperate for it and always the plan 

Later Wendy rings me saying Colino's being odd 
trying to pack for his travels saying "it's Trim's job" 
like I work for him and need to serve the sod 
as I told Wendy "thanks but that's your lot" 

I made it clear the bond was broken 
but Colino's pride or weed he's smoking 
created events that the world soaked in 
making people see my truth as jokin 

For years he's made out we're the best of friends 
now can't understand the way I act to them
promotes himself the good guy to help me mend 
playing the victim when I choose to offend 

how many years should I stay away 
before people note his puzzle don't fit in place 
think for yourself they clearly ain't my mates 
yet they say they are, you wonder why I'm crazed 

as everybody now believes their story 
call me mad with the one I put forward 
involving Durbz so they all deplore me 
though not there BUT I WAS AND I SAW IT 

he hung himself but as the boys report it 
they were great and only Rayanne caused it 
I WAS THERE AND THE TRUTH IS AWKWARD 
they were nasty to him and I also endured it 

When I left they all changed the story 
painted me strange and it remains the drawing 
and when I tell the truth you'd rather ignore me 
my 1 & only story
