Staring at Nothin’
• Written by Yung_Jack

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)

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 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
//bridge1:30
(Pure terror)
(P-P-Pure terror)
//hook 1:41
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 3 1:51
I can no longer sleep
Every time I close my eyes I see the kid that I took out on the street
The guilt is like a stain on white
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
I wish I was a better person, not a failure, but I ain’t cuz my brains on automatic
I wish I grew up better just to be a better me
Cuz maybe then my mental state would free from the “what if’s”, am I crazy?
//hook 2:24
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 4 2:34
So, am I crazy?
Do I need safety from the crap life throws at me?
Have I ruined my life?
Should I have turned myself in? Would I survive?
I swear, I hate this so much
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?
