He hasn't been himself for quite a while He won't crack a smile Prosecutor in his own trial As the floor below him becomes so fertile By his very own vile nile in exile source But the pitter patter of his tears On the bathroom tile All his friends are dead Heh, hold your dread Not in the literal sense He's just incensed By his own dense Defense of the friends That pretend to care at his expense Until he's dispensed But that's just his two cents In case you were on the fence All option exhausted So he writes poetry like Nas did Just face it you lost kid Just close the garage door And let your face get exhausted Like your playing in boss You're nothing but than your feelings From your floor to your ceilings And out through your bloodshot ocular faucets Boy versus brain White noise versus the sane Always versus the same Cries for help exclaim That he's beyond repair He'll swear He'll despair He'll stare Straight ahead in the mirror At the source of his waking nightmare (Are you writin' this down Christie? Yeah) Most can't sleep at night They see the faces they missed Try as he might somethings amiss He can only see his Fake plastic smile The only problem with diplomacy is The more he lies about happiness The more lonely he gets He's standing on a bluff Overlooking the city The city's biggest bluff Is making itself look so pretty He tells himself to be tough Isolated and gritty But gritty's kinda hard When his brain's run by committee He remembers too vivid When he admitted He benefited From her arm being slitted from when he was pitted Against the alited But he was acquitted 'Round when he submitted Two descriptions retrofitted So afflictions were omitted But no surprise the nightmares only get worse When he takes the pills For the first time Poison is some kind Kill the noise in his own mind He's seriously delirious and deliriously serious Oh my dear sister Christie I think his end might be nearin' us Nothing can fix the fear in us So who do I speak of And why is he gray He rejects all his love See the prices he pays To his vices he caves In a crisis of fates No tragic history Only a mystery So I say to you Who? Why don't you tell me?
