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?
