bloody knuckles

(Verse 1) Yeah, they smile in my face, but they stab in the back, Fake friends in the shadows, always ready to act, Used to share my dreams, now they fade to black, Addiction got a grip, pulling me off the track. Heartbreak in the rearview, memories collide, Thought they were my ride-or-die, but they switched sides, Lost in the chaos, drowning in my pride, Searching for the truth, but it’s hard to confide. (Verse 2) Late nights, empty bottles, drowning in despair, Thought I had a crew, but they ain’t really there, Chasing all these highs, but it’s all just a snare, Heart’s heavy like a stone, man, I’m gasping for air. Trust is a luxury, I can’t afford to lose, Every step I take feels like I’m stuck in a noose, Fighting through the pain, yeah, I’m paying my dues, Streetwise and scarred, but I refuse to choose.
