Own Yer Blues

[Verse 1] View through my lenses are just shades of blue Can't figure out what the fuck K should do Lace the food or grace the wood or Chase the good 'fore the lazy could score Amazed and floored that this maze of 'more Could blaze my core and raise my boar Days ashore and waste departs Waste of hearts or was it waste of arms Raised my guards 'til i was hazed and warped Mind playing tricks so i stayed braced and morphed Now the days contort 'til i can't stay afloat This cloud keeps on burning my eyes and throat I choke, awoke and keep up the backstroke Things ain't lookin' bright and I've always lacked hope Back here again starin' into the mirror Life's 'posed to be sweet, all i get its what's bitter [Verse 2] View through my lenses are just shades of blue Can't get it straight man i'm stuck in this loop Tried to write my truth, came out light and loose Tried to light my fuse but got stuck in the sleuth The ruse i keep close to my goals Is to take the heat off when i miss all the rolls So when i fold all i hold i can shrug and go, fair It ain't like i expected success so why should i care Sometimes i feel close to the other side Just to turn around since it all seems like a lie Change ain't real it's just wishful thinking In a whirlpool of hate all you do is vicious sinking Bristled and limping, ye that's me In my own story i don't even play the lead Back here again starin' into the mirror Life's 'posed to be sweet, all i get its what's bitter
