"Shoots & Ladders"
[verse]
I've got smoke in my lungs while I stare down the barrel of gun
Thinking of broken hearts and shattered dreams, nothing's what it seems
I've got my nightmare everyday, it all started when the fire took it away
Losing someone is worst when you're forced to lose them all over again
[chorus]
I got my flowers, you've got your hearts and daggers
I start to stagger, while you got your shoots and ladders
I never thought I would be so broken when I was re awoken
Let me drown in an ocean from this commotion that's in motion
[verse]
I'm an angry individual who is angrily awaiting individuality
Conformity and abnormality is the key to integrity
I'm a fool who is new to what it means to mentally break
Pull out my stool with a broken tool so I drown in a lake
[bridge]
You look so mad when you're sad and glad when you're bad
Good times had are just sad when it's a trap to make you glad
You look so mad when you're sad and glad when you're bad
Good times had are just sad when it's a trap to make me glad
