Byron Henderson - Peace Of Mind (M.A.N.J.) lyrics

They say that God won’t ever give
You more than you can handle
So what are we calling this?
Arguments, losses
Traumatic experiences causing a switch
In your personality battling demons
Almost never concerned with your
Own well being
You’re seen as heartless, but wait
Let’s dive into dude living
Within these syllables
Unafraid to be ridiculed as long as
He can live for you girls
Girls that give him reasons to
Fight when he’s miserable
Girls that when he dies
He’ll be living through, Living proof
No explaining his numbness
But it’s a must to know
He swallowed a compass
Only way to follow his gut


They’re like a shield around him
Won’t allow him to self-destruct
There’s something weird about him
Rock bottom is where he’s stuck
And his mental state is chaotic
Memories aren’t clear
Replays of the violence
Almost like it’s watching him now
He’s been broken, hurt, and to make it worse
Only three out of four are walking this Earth
And he’s been dwelling
Saying that he’ll be okay
Telling people that it hurts
But he just can’t display the pain
His family on the other hand
They see another side of him
Who knows how they’d react if they
Knew everything he’s hiding from
Trapped in his mind
Like a prisoner in a cage
A microphone will never save him from
Him when he’s face to face
I just hope to never see the
Day either of you are hopeless
Or the aftermath, and the way
These people just enter, scope, And bang
They say you come into the world alone
And you die the same
But as long we have each other
It was not vain i’ve come so far
No we’ve come so far from absolutely nothing
So I have to say, I’m not ashamed, at all

More love, more peace here
More love, more peace here
More love, more peace when my time comes
Please I just hope I leave with peace of mind

One day they love you
A second later they love to hate you
Different personalities play a role
That’s human nature
You know the feeling of hearing somebody died
And though you never knew them
A part of you dies with them?
You fantasize about maybe spending
Some time with them, Just get to know them?
Or dream of taking a ride
With your closest loved one
Just hoping you both survive another year
You’ve been through enough
Cried a lot of tears and
It leaves you feeling empty
Making that year or two that
Went by feel like a
Day as the people you went to school with die
Your equilibrium’s off and it's showing
It’s growing harder to know anybody else
When you barely know who you are anymore
Resort to a bottle as empty as your soul
As empty as the promises and
Threats we like to throw
When you’re the only person left to
Show some type of rationality
Reality, it’ll do away with you slow
Everyone ain’t for you, vice versa
But it’s a shame how everyone
Tries to be different
That only makes you the same
Stressed out like, why stress it?
The pain is only temporary
See these girls next to me
These are God’s blessings
And if I’m to die tonight
I just need a hug from every one of them
To let them I know that I
Love every one of them
I’m smart enough to know that I’m
The only person stopping me
Though I’m better than most
I’m a reflection of what not to be

They say you come into the world alone
And you die the same
But as long we have each other
It was not vain i’ve come so far
No we’ve come so far from absolutely nothing
So I have to say, I’m not ashamed, at all

I know a lot of y’all are thinking about it
But in this world
You never know what you can be
Part of the reason why you
Shouldn’t give up on you
Also, because I haven’t given up on me
Honest
