Staring at Nothin’
- //pre hook 0:14
- The pains cuts me up like blades, and it reminds me of my mis takes
- Every time I say I’m happy, it’s a lie, at night I just lie down and cry
- And every memory makes me sick, man, so tragic
- //hook 0:25
- Every bar that I write, every time I stay up ‘til midnight
- Every time that I’m alright, I’m not, karma’s choking me tight
- Every second I spend, man, I’m always spendin’
- Looking into the mirror staring at nothin’
- //verse 1 0:36
- When I was on the streets, and I was very mean
- When I was a freak, and I was fifteen
- I was tormented by this kid named Bobby
- One word to describe him was a hollow zombie
- He pushed me around, and he pushed on the ground
- So I followed him after school and I shot a few rounds
- “Oh no, what I done!” I asked myself
- I just ran away and I didn’t even care to pick up the shells
- (Sh sh shot a few rounds)

- //verse 2 1:08
- After I fled the scene, I ran home
- My mom asked me “where were you?” In her ripped jeans, I was scared to the bone
- In my hoodie I felt my G17, but I just bit my tongue
- I just said “no where, just with my homies”, and I ran and buried my gun
- And now, every time I look in the mirror
- I don’t see anything but, pure terror

- It never goes away no matter how much you try to wipe
- I just wanna die, I just wanna say goodbye
- I just wanna bring back the guy, but no matter how much I cry
- I know he’ll never be back, even though I want him back bad
- I wish I was a magician, dealing cards like it’s blackjack, but I can’t don’t matter if I want the Magic
- I wish I was a racer, so I drive away in empty traffic

- Cuz maybe then my mental state would free from the “what if’s”, am I crazy?

- Imma go turn myself in before I cause myself more damage

- Jack…
- There never was a Bobby Morrison.
- No missing person.
- No body.
- No gunshot reports.
- Nothing.
- You’re not guilty of anything.
- But you’re not well.
- You’re being transferred to Los Angeles Mental Hospital
- for evaluation.
- They’re going to figure out these visions…
- and they will stop them.
- *Jack*
- Never existed?
- But I saw him…
- I swear I saw him…
- Didn’t I?
