I've never seen you in such a deep, dark hole.
I've never seen you lacking so much of a soul.
I've never been around you in such this state.
I've never felt like I've shown up, oh so late.
Maybe it's as it should be and you're just all fine
and maybe there's room up your nose for a few more lines.
So I'll watch you sit around with your glass cut cooking plates
and see you fill them up and clean all the passing powder slates.
Watch you dig yourself into that deep ass hole
And watch you slowly lose your mental controlÂ…
I've seen you happily sink back into the couch before
but I've never seen you come back begging for a little more.
I've never seen your eyes in such a glazed-over stare
and I've never seen you this way, with dreadlocks in your hair.
I've never known how much I would regret that one choice I made
and to kick myself in the ass for all of the mental games I once played.
So I guess we're just stuck in the present here and constant now.
I knew once how to make up for the past, but now I just don't know how...
