Look At The Mess You`ve Made

[Saint]

Nahlidge:

If I said you were to blame, I`d be tellin` the truth
So put your neck on the line and I`ll sell you a noose
And make you feel small, from up here there`s a hell of a view
To watch me walk on your heart until the elephant`s loose
Then we can see him stampede, laugh, torture and shatter
You to pieces to the point that they won`t even add up
To a whole anymore, then I`ll stare as you dwindle
Into a worse version of me so you can see what I`ve been through
And contrary to what Wu said, shit`s never been simple
So those pre-fabricated make-ups, you can throw out the window
Or go stare into a mirror for somebody to vent to
Cause these excuses you come up with really makes me resent you
Tempt you? Don`t understand how you could warp and bend truth
And mend two lies together, guess you pursue what men do
Can`t difuse the stem due to all the built up of rage
Your glass is half full, while mine was filled up way
Before you decided to go off on your tantrums, I can`t stand `em
Everythin` planned is imperfect, we find perfect at random
And by "we", I mean that I`m the one standin` in the mirror
Through these cloudy grey skies that I`m stuck tryna clear up
Where my failures can only blame myself, so I`m in fear of
The final lap, cause when I`m down, it seems nobody hears us
But this bottle in my hand is often my escape to cheer up
And put a smile on, actin` like I don`t really care but
In reality I do, when the buzz starts to fade and hollow
But if today goes bad, we can always try the same tomorrow
Set backs when I`m sober, at times are too big a chase to swallow
So I often stare at life, wishin` that I could break and borrow
Yours for a day, but that just means a new set of problems
That you`re already accustomed to, with your own ways to solve `em
So I`ll just take my own back and try to work my way around
These road blocks, turnin` my uncharted highways into sacred ground
And realize my problems aren`t so bad when I sit and break `em down
Instead of tryin` to run, or be lazy and watch `em pilin` up
Deal with them as they approach, do my best to take apart
The wrong pieces, deal with the consequence with grains of salt
When it rains, don`t stall, just look at it as the NOW
And the WHEN you get through it thought should make you proud
What I`m tryna say is, YOU, yourself are your only real critics
So when you create your own monster, learn how to deal with it
