Mental Hell and Shell of Myself

4/7/21 " (Chorus) Hanging out at the continental shelf I've been living in a mental hell I'm now just a shell of myself Realize the importance of dental health People with nothing and others with exceptional wealth I've become a professional at stealth Realize the importance of dental health People with nothing and others with exceptional wealth I've become a professional at stealth Hanging out at the continental shelf I've been living in a mental hell I'm now just a shell of myself (Chorus) (Verse 1) I'll manage and make do When it's on the line, I find a way to Breakthrough Whether immediate or on day two Finally a debut People will stay true Yet they will also play you And betray you It's the way she goes Especially over egos Money or kilos Thought you was amigos Until the true colors and greed showed They say to each his own Can't always find the answer or cheat codes Deadly like torpedoes The same can be said for mosquitoes Skilled like Neo And smart like C3PO Occasionally at home depot Or in a tuxedo Treating me like Magneto So quick to think its finito I guess we'll just have to see though So long I've got to go on Doing no wrong Continuing to grow strong (Chorus) Hanging out at the continental shelf I've been living in a mental hell I'm now just a shell of myself Realize the importance of dental health People with nothing and others with exceptional wealth I've become a professional at stealth Realize the importance of dental health People with nothing and others with exceptional wealth I've become a professional at stealth Hanging out at the continental shelf I've been living in a mental hell I'm now just a shell of myself (Chorus) (Verse 2) All the while A continual cycle And downward spiral Through all these tribulations and trials You couldn't relate, so you think it's suicidal I thought it was vital The decision final Instinct primal Once in a while I'll Listen to Billy Idol On Vinyl And trifle As I smile Still not A-Okay Another rainy day Wasting no time, from it what do I take away? That it makes me frustrated, so I quickly fade away I must just be crazy ay? Once again, I was ever closer But it's just never over Barely ever sober Once again I've gone To the beyond Woke up, feeling like I was in a fog Took care of the cats and dog Helped out my mom And continued on All life long Sometimes I just can't do right, but I can do wrong Too many high on the hog I don't and yet I do find it odd Do I really need to ask why God?
