Chris Van Sickle:
“...forgetting that they both needed to be in the upper world, and she vanished for the second time, only this time it would be forever...”
Michael Jones:
I know I should be listening, but I just don’t understand why it is so important for me to hear about greek myths. I heard all about them back in middle school. I guess I may as well just finish up some writing to pass the time, I’m sure I’ll be fine when we have our test...
[Verse One: MikelWJ]
My anxiety peaked, making it harder to speak
So now I’m just another loner slash unlovable freak
Who’s prone to panic attacks, whose only picking up slack
Avoiding other people’s eyes writing my notes in the back
I made a fool of myself, asking these people for help
Since they clipped my wings and told me that I wasn’t in health
Here’s my descent into hell, I hope these words ring a bell
Since I’ve been rolling in the deep so long, I sound like Adele
I think I made a mistake, matching my give to your take
Just to drown all of my feelings in a bottomless lake
I mixed with whiskey and rum, I hate the man I’ve become
But I won’t say a single word because I’m tired and numb
Now let me make an announcement so you’re all fully aware
I left my heart in your hands, but now you don’t seem to care
You were the light of my life, you guided me through the dark
But now my light has gotten snuffed before the scariest part
[Chorus: MikelWJ + K-Lam]
Welcome one and all to my descent into Hell
I know you doubt it, but I really mean well
So listen now to the tale that I tell
Since I want the whole world to feel the way that I felt
[Verse Two: K-Lam]
I need to leave this place, I don’t want to be this face
I break the fucking mirror, and all I see’s disgrace
I seem misplaced, yeah, so much for I'm a genius eh?
Look at my blank reflection, and all the pieces made
Pick the shattered parts so I can ease my battered heart
I’m lashing out irrationally at you crappy artists
Like why the fuck you get a voice? I’ve gathered darkness
Taking shots at people, but I ain’t mad at Y’all, just
Leave me be, I just need relief
Stop talking to me, I don’t need your prayers or free CDs
And keep your sympathy to thee, don’t need your empathy
And fuck your MP3, I’m fine with my own empty me
When will you people see, that being on MTV
Isn’t a possibility, what’s happening to me?
This isn’t really me, all this doubt gets to me
Sorry if I offended you, but that seems to be my tendency
[Chorus: K-Lam + MikelWJ]
[Verse Three: MikelWJ]
You can only really hear me if my words make you think
While on the other hand, thinking threw me right off the brink
And while I’m still being honest, what made me pick up a drink
Until my head was in the toilet after cleaning the sink
Moving on from that thought, this dark is all that I’ve got
I’m afraid if I move on I’ll lose my place in the plot
They’re all judging my sanity, oh the fucking humanity
Since I told a couple people to forget about vanity
They treat me like i’m an angel, acting in as apostles
While I’m hanging out with demons, and some comfortably lost souls
So if you plan to stick around, you can look under the mask
To see all of the burns from the demons of my past
I don’t want to bum you out, but I’m just speaking my mind
It just happens that my thoughts are now an unpleasant kind
And I just want to say I’m sorry to those I burn in the process
But you asked me for my mind, so now I’m just being honest
Chris Van Sickle:
Michael. Michael! Tell me, what do you know about Orpheus?
Michael Jones:
Uhmm… He was a guy, greek, and he made music, and went to the underworld to find his dead lover. Beautiful story
Chris Van Sickle:
That was all that you got from my entire lecture? You should really pay more attention in class Michael. Also, I can see you weren’t taking any notes either
I expect more from you next time. Now get to your next class, and be sure to study for the test tomorrow
