Analysis of Pain
Marcus O'Neal 1986 (OKC)
The pain inside is hurting
I'm struggling to survive
I slit my wrist
I didn't even cry
Now the blood is oozing
Oozing from my veins
I can feel myself fadding
I think I'm going insane
There's people around me now
There pointing fingers and laughing at me
Now there trying to revive me
Fuck it give up
don't no one around here like me
They put me in a padded cell
God i'd be better off living in hell
My life is over all I do is fail.
