Painting
featuring Swordplay

V1
Pull apart the pieces of this puzzle, try to put it back together my own way
just another bloke that struggles, cannot function, can’t correct his focus, or go straight
home is where you make it, where you roam naked, till you can’t fake it, fall from grace
ran from many places, with my sturdy aesics, wore many faces, all in vain
shoot it up like a western not investin’ time to take a seat, I reek
need to nod like harry, under eyes I carry bags in both hands I feel weak
not a man they say, I’m not one to pray, caravan full of thugs, I lay
in a bead full of bug, I crave, felin’ dead, need a hug, I fade…

Hook
(Swordplay)
Fading, I’m failing while taking these steps
stressed out inhaling these damn cigarettes
waiting in line, perfect time to catch breath
clearing my mind as I pause and collect
all of my thorts fighting wars in my head
falling on swords was I born to be dead
breaking tradition, malicious intent
painting these pictures with pain and regret

V2
Suicidal but too scared to take my life I check my vitals for a pulse, I lost my vision
blinded by the rush, a way to make it better, still a child, made the wrong decisions
walk a mile, in others shoes I’ve risen from the ashes need to lose my inhibitions
for the cash rules everything around me, my surroundings got me drowning in this prison
wishing I was different someone else, never listen when they try to help
common sense is missing cards were dealt, need to find a witch and take a spell
never thought I’d ever be this way, now I think I’ll never be the same
in my head, already dug my grave, feeling dead, need a hug, I fade…

Hook
(Swordplay)
Fading, I’m failing while taking these steps
stressed out inhaling these damn cigarettes
waiting in line, perfect time to catch breath
clearing my mind as I pause and collect
all of my thorts fighting wars in my head
falling on swords was I born to be dead
breaking tradition, malicious intent
painting these pictures with pain and regret
