Ironic

Born in the shadows where the lights don't reach Echoes of the streets cold lessons they teach Chains on my wrists but my mind stays free Irony in the pain how it defines me Running from the past but it's on my heels A mirror of the future in the blood that spills Fighting for survival in the world so cruel The joke's on me played like a fool Ironic how the darkness shines In the depths of hell I find my rhymes Twisted fate a cruel design In the heart of the storm I call it mine Ironic how the darkness shines In the depths of hell I find my rhymes Twisted fate a cruel design In the heart of the storm I call it mine Whispers in the night secrets untold Broken dreams lie in streets of gold Lost in the maze of my own despair Hope is a ghost vanishing in thin air Eyes wide open but I still can't see Trapped in a cage with a broken key Promises made but they're all lies Truth in the tears that I can't disguise Ironic how the darkness shines In the depths of hell I find my rhymes Twisted fate a cruel design In the heart of the storm I call it mine Ironic how the darkness shines In the depths of hell I find my rhymes Twisted fate a cruel design In the heart of the storm I call it mine Ashes to ashes dust to dust Trust is a weapon that I can't trust In this game there's no winning hand Just a twist of fate hard to understand Laughing at the pain crying in the rain Trying to find peace but it's all in vain Life's a joke with a twisted punchline In the chaos and the madness I redefine So here's the irony the cruel jest In the darkness I find my rest In the paradox I find my voice In the silence I make my choice So here's to the irony Here's to the irony
