Pandora's Box from Popular Loner by DempseyRollBoy

All I have is bad dreams
I’m hurting cuz the past stings
Last year, last month
Fuck, even last week
I’m a ghost, don’t even know
The last time that I was last seen
Drowning in this alcohol
Castaway in a vast sea

I don’t like to socialize
I like to write and blast beats
I don’t tell no lies, I rap about my life
Cuz facts speak
Swerving on the interstate
I push the whip at max speed
No more self-control
My heart is broke, it’s on its last piece

What’s the point of love
If I don’t get none in return
I don’t want another painful lesson
I already learned
That I shouldn’t trust anyone
In the end, I end up burned
Respect and trust should not be given
Those are things you have to earn

When I’m gone I know that
I’ll be rolling in my grave
I ain’t taking nothing with me
Except everything I gave
All the trials and tribulations
All the losses, all the pain
So I might as well stay lit
Cuz I could checkout any day

Real shit, I know that’s hard to hear
But man, that’s what the truth is
The world’ll keep on spinning without me
It’s fuckin’ ruthless
It’s hard finding self-worth
When you feel like you’re useless
All I do is pick myself apart
And make this music

I been around the block
That means by now, nothing surprises me
Don’t burden other people with your problems
Do that privately
No one gives a fuck, trust me
Everybody’s spiraling
We’re only human, after all
Well, I’m not, but I try to be

Depression and anxiety
Dempsey, I’m describing me
I do the best I can with
What the man above provided me
That’s not much to work with
You don’t want the same mind as me
But I own my decisions
Cuz I’m sitting in the driver’s seat

Rambling thoughts
I can’t get back what I’ve lost
I hate the path that I’ve walked
Now I’m just passing along
Standing still I hit a wall
That I just can’t get across
Cuz everyday that I wake up
I open Pandora’s box
