Hope Is a Prison

Always over stressed, everything's a mess
(Crushing me)
Never like the rest, always second best
(Set me free)
Always over stressed, everything's a mess
(Crushing me)
Never like the rest, always second best
(Set me free)
Fixated and stuck inside the past
Blinded by the grey of the overcast
I can't break away from the devil's grasp
Hope is a prison
Bound by the chains
I have fallen victim to my own hands
Hope is a prison
Bound by the chains
I have fallen victim to my own hands
Fixated and stuck in the past
Blinded by the overcast
I just can't seem to break free from the devil's grasp
And he's watching as I walk this path
As I'm near the end I hear his laugh
Another victim of his crooked craft
I'm going through shit I can't explain
Words of a nigga that's gone insane that can't maintain the constant change
That's rearranged his fucked up brain
And I always here about the worst of me
So I try to clear the discrepancy
But the anger seems to get the best of me
That bitch life keeps on fucking me
Now you find it so hard to put your trust in me
(Hahahaha)
Hope is a prison that you never visit
I wrote you a three page letter did you get it?
Commissaries empty
The warden's fucking lazy
No money on my book, my nigga I'm not yo average crook
Wave your hand if you're overwhelmed by stress
Wave your hand if you know your second best
I had hope one day, hope one day that things would change
But all I learned was the pain of disdain
Yeah!
But I'm stuck
I keep sinking deeper into my own abyss
I don't know how to get out
Someone needs to love me more than I hate myself
All of these issues have caught up to me
This life has only chewed me up and spat me out and repeat
And at the end of today, I find you hard to replace
And at the end of today, you're hard to replace
Hope is a prison
Bound by the chains
I have fallen victim to my own hands
Hope is a prison
Bound by the chains
I have fallen victim to my own hands
Hope
