got one side where i'm living in sorrow
where everything i need i have to borrow
no money, no power, losing my
concreteness, like fat on fitness, i'm a coward
it's more like a superficial pain
i don't feel a thing, but i do know that this is not a game
lose the blame, or win the fame
it's all in my head, i'm probably high in the worst plane
my face is getting f'ed up like Bane's
like a hot girl that ended up scribbled with crayons
it happens when it rains, and it does in this world of mine
everytime that i remind myself i have more to climb
it's funny how easy i can cry but
it's hard to find joy even harder to describe
like the chills that you get when i run my
fingers down to your thigh, indefinable, the feeling that i can apply
2.
sister, oh, sister, thank God there's another
side where everything gets crisper
where my mind turns clear like the crystal
this is my threat for the other side i'm a missle
it's all gone like a nightmare caput
the noise dissapears from my ears, hit mute
disturbing images start to fade away
i'm stable now, i used to spin around like a bey-blade
i'm excited like a nudist finding the nude
got away from the hard time with the tough attitude
still there, but i can simplify it like the square root
yeah, the mood gets addictive like the junk food
and it gets easier, like a test
where the first 2 questions are harder than the rest
there's two sides of me, i'm a dual colored pill
but without one of' em i wouln't be real
