Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Battle Scars (Rewrite)
- (hook)
- I fight the pain with all my strength so why does it keep returning
- Even though I keep living
- even though I keep learning
- the wheels in my head only keep turning
- back over and over
- same crap every time
- I scream and I yell but I'm still stuck in this slime
- the more I claw the more covered in grime
- I'm becoming it
- I'm to numb
- theres no emotions to be found
- no magic or potion will ever coxed me out
- of this padded cell with no door
- they've been to many wars
- and drugs going in
- nothings coming out
- im in doubt that theres anything there anymore
- that thought didn't used to scare me before
- but so much has changed
- from the old me I've become estranged
- after depression normal life seems strange
- every time I look at the wall I still feel the same
- as i did than and the scars remain
- all over my body in hard lumps
- I cover them in long sleeves
- bitch I'm over that hump
- (hook)
- I remember the feeling of spitting my veins open
- the white bubble of flesh before my blood stared pouring
- than how tough it was to stop it up
- once it finally started
- even though its all over I don't think I'm truly done
- It should be fucking over relapsing is no fun
- theres nowhere to run
- So I just stay stuck in a rut
- I still sometimes wanna stab myself in the gut
- My rhymes still show this pain
- my friends think I'm a nut case
- but I know that there are other people who
- feel and have felt the same pain
- that I do
- I know what their going through
- If your one of them and your listening I know what your going through
- take my hand baby
- I know your not crazy
- I know your not an attention whore I know your not lazy
- I know how hard you cry because you think maybe
- your alone in this world
- through some fault of your own
- for a long time that was only feeling I had known
- (hook)
- look at the demons facing you in the mirror
- oh no, you scream, I know that you fear your
- mind over anything cause its what put you hear
- but once you conquer that than there is nothing left to fear
- I don't know what that feels like cause I'm not yet there
- I'm still a deformed rectangle, not yet square
- but I can hold my head up high knowing I'm almost there
- when I look for the strength to continue these battle scars stare
- back at me
- though they no longer bleed they'll never disappear
- but now its time to focus on the wall thats right here
- I've spent to much time with my back to it i fear
- a wise man told me
- that if I was about to hit that wall than to do it
- he said to cock back and put my all into it
- thanks, Slim, now I know that's what I needed to be doing
- and when I come out the other side i know my scars will follow me through it
- (hook)
