Byron Henderson - DEATH AROUND THE CORNER. (deep end.) lyrics

Staring at my reflection in the mirror
Bags under my eyes
And things couldn’t be clearer
Scrolling through dated photos
Happiness was imaginative
Picture us having a kid
Bringing them into this world to have to
Battle the sins of another person
It’s all bad imagine being there
But they have no one to call dad
Role reversal mom either
But I’d rather help your soul than hurt you
Take my life, but my soul is eternal

I see death around the corner waiting
On us just to slip
Dog, I’ve just got to warn you
I’ve been wandering for years
When I tell you let me go
Then let me go without the guilt
When I tell you let me go
Then let me go because I lived

I see death around the corner waiting
On us just to slip
Dog, I’ve just got to warn you
I’ve been wandering for years
When I tell you let me go
Then let me go without the guilt
When I tell you let me go
Then let me go because I lived

Bury me alive without the pride I was missing
Never smiled much and you would
Know why if you listened
I was never infatuated with
Diamonds that glisten
A bill, mansion, Benz, killer, politician
Law enforcement why you trying me?
Racist hypocrites will never let us
Live or die in peace
Pray the liquor hit's before these
Hollow tips inside of me
Pill addicted adolescents, death
Before designer, Please
Freedom till I speak on how this
Country’s leaders lied to me
Put a price on life and
Sacrifice me over my beliefs
Brainwash my generation
Parents never guided me
Kill whoever’s better off
It's money over honesty
Mentally enslave us all to dissipate
Us from our dreams
Live a lie or die an honest death
I’m looking at my life in front of me
So I ain’t got to stress
While hand in hand with my best friend
I swear we were meant for this
At this moment, I could tell we were infinite

I see death around the corner waiting
On us just to slip
Dog, I’ve just got to warn you
I’ve been wandering for years
When I tell you let me go
Then let me go without the guilt
When I tell you let me go
Then let me go because I lived

I see death around the corner waiting
On us just to slip
Dog, I’ve just got to warn you
I’ve been wandering for years
When I tell you let me go
Then let me go without the guilt
When I tell you let me go
Then let me go because I lived
Nah, y’all can keep y’all guns

Staring at my reflection like
"Let’s be honest"
I know your highs, your lows
Every burden of every promise
Thought you followed your gut
Like, and I quote, "You swallowed a compass"
Better scramble fore they fold
You like an omelet
Infinite, that ish was nonsense
But what’s left behind is timeless
Had to accept what comes with life
And that includes love and dying
Ri, I’m trying
Thought of asking for a ride with no
Clue of where we should drive to
Like F it, wherever you are my baby
I’ll come and find you
