Sometimes I wish that I were living
In the depths of chains & hatred is where I’m treading
And I wish that I could return on living
But it seems as if that my plans are different
// Verse #1:
Sometimes it seems that I wish to live with this anguish
As if…, ridding of it would seem to be somewhat ludicrous
As if, I can’t stand true constant happiness
Well…, I’ve lived with this constant back and forth like it’s
The only way to experience, as if the downs compliment the highs
And vice versa, I must admit…, there’s a thrill in tumbling into a vicious mind state, to eventually thrive in one that is seemingly beautiful
// Chorus:
Sometimes I wish that I were living
In the depths of chains & hatred is where I’m treading
And I wish that I could return on living
But it seems as if that my plans are different
// Verse #2:
I imagine that I’m waddling through mud
Every step I take doesn’t do much
Every knee up’s an energy crunch
So any light touch feels like letup
I try to breakup mud round my waist to get up
At least my heads up above ground, that makes up
Or I think it does, for all the enoughs
In the past century or somewhat
The tradeoff’s a bit funny is my thought
Cause the jackpots a one in a million one shot
A noscope 360 with blindfolds on
I ask not to boycott, no, but
I ask that we get buckshots for all us
In the back blind spot tryna aim at targets
That are way up front and I ain’t even the farthest
Whom I kidding, the buckshots probably worthless
// Chorus x2:
Sometimes I wish that I were living
In the depths of chains & hatred is where I’m treading
And I wish that I could return on living
But it seems as if that my plans are different
