Manic Depression - Anno Domini Beats

I met the devil in something beautiful

I heard the softest lullaby

Shoot down the saints,

Manic and panicked we traffic our madness for days

Too many letting' smoke brew static their brain

I remain tokeless and hopeless to the blazed

Now to the ways of the dope kids I stay stuck in a daze

Blue skies above blacktops

Walk the city block and suddenly the thought struck

God ain’t nothing but a scorekeeper

Faultless to the sinless as much as the guiltless

I’m catching my breathe keeping sickness out of my chest

Feeling like I ruined something beautiful again

Praying reason won’t get nailed in Hope sparks and sputters then stops

Starts then wanders too far

Hits hard and stays laced with aggression

In this dead end depression

Fallen from heavens burned in my reflection

Cherubs without lessons

Broken, in need of some saving'

It’s taken some patience

But truth is I am my own worst demon

I met the devil in something beautiful

I heard the softest lullaby

So soft it made me cry

And as I prayed to die

The lights they flickered out

Dim lit, Like Dante in the comedy

We wait for the hit

Streams slide down

These veins like hurricanes rush without a sound

Chemicals mix now

Consciousness is down for the count

One two, one two

Exhale and repeat these dream into ground

Three four three four

Passed out on the floor

Cursed by commitment, playing' Russian roulette

With sterilization and nights in women lacking any

safety net

Taking' steps back from regret to regret

Its shot gunned to pieces

And when the preacher speaks his peace

It’s screaming' I don’t believe this

Five six, five six

Despondent and dauntless

Crushed cooked and shot quick

Endorphins running' dry inside hospital ridden state

kids

Seven eight

Psycho pomp stopped doing the job and the voices

strayed off

Nine

So lay down to sleep tonight

With a stomach full of bottled substance

To welcome death with a count backwards from ten

I met the devil in something beautiful

I heard the softest lullaby

So soft it made me cry

And as I prayed to die

The lights they flickered out

We’re a f**king a poison

I swear to God

I’m sitting praying screaming we’ll begin to die off

I ain’t a fan of territory or soldier mentality

Truthfully I’ve seen enough in my family to keep it from me We’re thieves, liars, and dead beats

Unplugging the phone lines to keep from credit

companies

Nobody’s home, so quit knocking

You’re just talking to the door homie

Just walk off and stay gone

We’re wasting GED’s

We’re teaching kids to beat

These kids will most likely be Exactly as their parents are

This ain’t the way to breed

Steal when you got to eat

We’re just too blind to see

That this ain’t how to raise your seeds

I might as well be praying to a wall

Cause this constant culture got no direction but a downfall

And I swear to God

We still are and will always be a f**king poison

I met the devil in something beautiful

I heard the softest lullaby

So soft it made me cry

And as I prayed to die

The lights they flickered out
