I can see him when I'm deep in the covers I start sweating and blood starts coming out my noseīut I don't know who it is so I'm watching my back My mother's always stressin' I ain't living right I'm paranoid, sleeping with my finger on the trigger Let me drop some shit like this here, real smoothĬandlesticks in the dark, visions of bodies being burned I sit alone in my four-cornered room staring at candles
