Analysis of Lost On The Road/Losing My Mind... Pt.2



Sitting here alone, All in my head
I hate this feeling, I want it dead.
Thinking what am I thinking about?
I'ma see the sunshine before I fall
Really, 'cause my back is against the wall...
I'm all in my feelings, what the hell is going on?

I'm not alone, so why do I feel like I'm alone?
It's the different things and animals in my mind
That live inside of my brain, tryna capture my soul
A soul that's so far gone and froze...

Why is it that I sit here in fear?
Fear of me and my brain. I want my soul
I need more time, Time to say goodbye...

I don't wanna go, because only God knows the day and time.
I'm lost between reality and my mind
I'm in between worlds
Who can I trust?
I lost my mind a long time ago
My heart skips a beat Everytime I smile.
I lost control
Too many people inside of me to hold

So confused, I don't know what to do,
I pray &pray & pray. I have no clue as who to talk to...

So I pick up my glass, tryna hold fast...
The rock sizzle
I smoke my cancer sticks
But, hell that didn't help
So now I'm shitting bricks

Self absorbed, now I'm bored
No idea of where to go now,
So help me Lord...
