Dear Despair: Fuck You

[Chorus] Dear. Despair. I see you leanin' Did. You. Think I had forgotten? Lurking. There. Your shadow loomin'. Don't you Dare think that I'm losin'. Draggin' dragon demon (demon-demon-demon--) Draggin' laughin' dragon demon Draggin' dragon demon (demon-demon-demon--) Draggin' laughin' dragon demon [Verse 1] Creeping in the hallway. Sliding foot under the door. I'll handle you in my way. Not fearing you anymore. Try to force it open, I'm standing on the other side. With angry tears in my eyes. Shutting, catching your toes. Banging it hard on your nose. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Go on, make this last a little longer. Tryin' to influence My thoughts and emotions Startin' a noisy Dangerous commotion You're an old and repetitive terror. Becoming a predictable nightmare. I've received enough of the scare. Weight on chest heavier to bear. Sneaky shadowy tricks, I take notes on your game. Tried to drown me with doubt, whispering my name. I'm sharpening my words, sharper than razor knives! You seek to squash hope, my rhymes the land mines! You think you're bad, wanting to own it I'm raising the bar while cloning it You think you're bad, wanting to own it I’ve got a cavalry — A little army — Growin’ rapidly As long as I’ve got energy! [Chorus] Dear. Despair. I see you leanin' Did. You. Think. I had forgotten? Lurking. There. Your shadow loomin'. Don't. You. Dare. Think that I'm losin'. Draggin' dragon' demon (demon-demon-demon--) Sneerin' draggin' laughin' dragon demon Draggin' dragon demon (demon-demon-demon--) Leerin' draggin' laughin' dragon demon [interlude and breakdown] In this part a brief stop About to pop As my burning fury drops [Verse 2] Catalogued every track you're on Typing Hashtag I'll Survive Through it All Crawlin’ like a centipede, playin’ in my brain Slippin’ through my synapses, pressing the pain My struggles not in vain My love, more than enough I fucking know I'm tough Nothing can hurt me worse Striking back in this verse! Slither, leer, sneer — all the same old, same old I'm snarling, flashing my teeth, biting tenfold You softly say "quit." I holler back "make me!" Turning up the pressure in lyrical alchemy You feed on fatigue, I feast on resolve From every wound you gave, I've evolved Thought I’d crack, collapse, beg, or plead? (Nah!) Planting my feet, starving your need! Think I'll start to haunt you now. Through my recovery, this I vow. I'll see this long ass journey to the end. Through friends and outlets, I'll depend. Fuck your lingering, silent treachery. I've been through enough this century. Every moody song, my ammunition. Standing tall as I demand you listen. Pay attention to my tension. Did I mention my tension? Breathe out. Released. [Chorus] Dear. Despair. I see you leanin' Did. You. Think. I, I had forgotten? Lurking. There. Your shadow loomin'. Don't. You. Dare. Think that I'm losin'. Draggin' dragon' demon (demon-demon-demon--) Demon. Draggin' laughin' dragon demon Draggin' dragon demon (demon-demon-demon--) Demon. Draggin' laughin' dragon demon [Outro] Pay attention to my tension. Did I mention my tension? Breathe out. Released. Pay attention to my tension. Did I mention my tension? Slaying the beast. Pay attention to my tension. Did I mention my tension? Breathe out. Released. Pay attention to my tension. Did I mention my tension? Slaying the beast.
