[Verse 1 X the Unknown Variable] I was born into this world, grew up with great intentions, taught myself these Morals, but it seems that theyre no longer worth the mention Being drastically changed and mentally deranged Im practically insane, the target in a shooting range After being lined up perfectly, they took their shots I was handicapped, outnumbered, then they left me there to rot But it wasnt really me, those ingrates murdered my soul My heart is still intact, but my mind took its toll I am no longer a whole, but hardly half a man, my blueprints Degraded to plans that even I dont understand If you wish to hold my hand, prepare to hold your head Youll be lying in your bed wondering if it was something that you said That made my face turn into one of those who are dead Remember Youre staring into eyes of the mislead The misreading of my future, credited to those with age Ill make it my duty to bring harmony as a sage... [Verse 2 X the Unknown Variable] I shouldve ripped up verse one when I was done Now, Ive got to tell my mother that Im no longer her son The dark semicircles that lie beneath my eyes Get one shade darker for every dream that dies The curving of spine is one of many signs Of the beast that Im becoming that will lead to my decline Not to mention the demise of everything Ive worked for All the things that cause me pain will just begin to hurt more More and more is what they always ask of me Which is why, for one Summer, my best friend was a flask Climbing rocky hills after popping chalky pills If this is what kills then Ill gladly seek the thrill The dirt under my fingernails gets more dense as I climb I was disappointed because what I expected was brine When my face meets the earth, Ill be ready with a kiss This is definitely one shot that I know I will not miss...
