You ever been... (Crisp Cartel Demo) (Remastered)
{Prelude} (sounds of fading memories of good times laughter and special moments in the past as a family} {Intro - Music fades in and grows in volume - bar atmospherics} [my voice talking] yeah, so, I wrote this song cause.. uh Actually not sure how to put these feelings... but well, I'm sure ya'll will get it. {Intro} (Verse) I ain't no stranger to the feelin', of heartbreak, hard liquor and fighting my demons... (sounds of a bar atmosphere) but if ya saw the very bottom of the bottom ya just wouldn't believe it... (the pain is so real) yeah I've calloused up my heart and my hands, just picking up pieces of these broken dreams [whispered echoes of male voice] A lifetime of dreams gone, they're just gone... {music drop} (sounds of kids playing outside and my loud heartbeat) (sounds of a couple arguing overtakes the sounds of children) [Break to silence except a heartbeat] [Pre Chorus] Have you ever felt let down, like time has stopped now, without the kiddos not around? Ever had to watch your future, feeling helpless as it crashed to the ground? (so tell me, just tell me) [chorus] Have you ever been broken, left empty and hopeless while your girl sleeps around? (sound of an incoming snapchat message) and have you ever had to realize, and keep your feelings inside, to try and figure out why? why she ran around telling all those lies, just trying to justify. (while she tore you to pieces) [pause break] why she threw you in the deep end, it cut like a knife, as she took the kiddos, right outta your life. [break somber reflection - internal voice] yeah I been praying on my knees, that the pain would just stop, (just stop please) but this is only the beginning... and my heart, empty it cries... Just thinkin maybe, maybe I should end it? (thinking without them i should end it) (Verse) man I ain't no stranger to the feelin', of heartbreak, hard liquor, getting high trying to silence all my demons... [deep painful sigh] but if ya saw the very bottom of the bottom ya just wouldn't believe it... (the feelin) yeah I've calloused up my heart and my hands just picking up the pieces, all these pieces of broken dreams (yeah and I feel that shit) [chorus] So tell me have you ever been broken, left abandoned, empty and hopeless while she sleeps with other guys? (sound of an incoming snapchat message) and have you ever had to realize, look at your self deep inside, just to try and figure out why? why she ran around telling all those lies, just trying to justify. (telling so many lies) why she threw you in the deep end, it cut like a knife, watching as she took the kiddos, took em right outta your life. yeah I been praying on my knees, that the pain would just stop, (just stop please) but this is only the beginning... and my heart, empty it cries... Thinkin maybe, maybe I should end it? [Musical Break - Starts Fading] [My voice speaking] Or maybe it's a new beginning? [Outro fade out]
