"Gravel Roots"

You can find me outta home
with an attitude 'n' a cracked phone
Some dad issues 'n' a habit formed
from a savage youth 'n' a backbone

My gravel roots form a platform
so the hard knocks are my anthem
'n' the hardcore is my life force
That ghostly figures my phantom

Why do cries remain unanswered
Why am I so unromantic
Hide the signs underneath the mattress
'n' bury crimes deeper in the attic

Scary times 'n' a rusty razor
in a boarded up bathroom none the safer
Ignorin' horrors just to face em' later
when its unexpected It's how I embrace em'

Takin' teeth just to make a bracelet
from fractured smiles to appease the hatred
After while I started feelin' vacant
It's like Bates Motel without a room to stay in

Dr. Doom recruitin' newer patients
with fewer alements to be saved from
Two bodies Two bullets sprayed from the same gun
Slideshows of dead folk play when the days done

Prayin' with this lame tongue hangin' to a weak chin
Chained to a smart mouth caged in an aged skin
Some praise my art form for slayin' the dragon
but still whisper statements 'n' call me a f****t

Bet if I was they'd find me out here braggin'
'n' still hate me for gettin' more dick than they get
Either way I'm catchin' s**t that they pitch
'n' hand them a shovel they can dig their graves with

No headstone just a plot to lay in
in a foggy cemetery Which spots your favorite
Smell of decay leakin' out from the pavement
when hell makes it's way up the stairs from the basement
