Verse 1: Ever since I laid my eyes on the puzzle, I was intrigued. Every time I saw the colors, I used my art to build a dream. Every time I told a lie, they asked what was wrong with me. Every time my mother wore a bruise, I pretended not to see. Every time my father committed a sin, it’s all I wanted to be. Chorus: Must’ve been the pills drowning him again. Must’ve been the back-and-forth fighting that left me numb and understanding. Must’ve been the cycle of chaos I was constantly chasing. Must’ve been all the broken pieces bleeding from within. Or maybe it was my darkness, finally taking the shape of who I really am. Verse 2: why must I disappoint you again. Why must you suffer your children’s sins? Why were you the angel and you birthed the villain? Finally hoped for peace not the hell you are living in. If theft is wrong then what’s the price of lying? Disappointment in your eyes is what I been avoiding. Bridge: Crushed a thousand souls so I’d never become what you are. Weakness was all I saw. Couldn’t see you fighting tooth and nail with your soul. I chose his path, and now I can’t let go. He never said sorry, so I learned never to apologize early on. But when does it end? Because I gravitate toward every darkness one could know. Chorus: Must’ve been the pills drowning him again. Must’ve been the back-and-forth fighting that left me numb and understanding. Must’ve been the cycle of chaos I was constantly chasing. Must’ve been all the broken pieces bleeding from within. Or maybe it was my darkness, finally taking the shape of who I really am.
