Point of a Soul

I wake up day after day I'm the same why can't I change? I try to do things different ways But it just hurts and I hate the pain Life is pain I think that's the phrase The drugs are meant to take it away I've only learned how tolerance goes up and not the other way If it's all we can read If it's all we can see Tell me Is that not all we can be? If it's all we've been told To go after the gold Tell me What's the point of a soul? Staring down the dark stairs I'll leave those thoughts there Their faces still stare Their eyes pierce deep and through me And I've met each one They live on no sun Starve on scraps that I still feed them I'm far from where I used to be I wake up day after day I'm the same why can't I change? I try to do things different ways But it just hurts and I hate the pain Life is pain I think that's the phrase The drugs are meant to take it away I've only learned how tolerance goes up and not the other way If it's all we can read If it's all we can see Tell me Is that not all we can be? If it's all we've been told To go after the gold Tell me then What's the point of a soul? I need a new perspective But I'm not receptive Is there more incentive Then to just live See tomorrow see another day another week another year I'm still not sure what's happening here What are they living for Peeking in another's door Tryna find the meaning They really don't know anymore Than the next guy the next boss the next psycho It's at least a little funny where my mind goes Look at me standing here Tryna lighten up the mood Mama says don't say nothing now if it's rude Y'all probably think I'm a real decent dude Taking time writing songs and singing them just for you It's just for you only if it's cool Your opinion will put me on a pedestal At least in my brain Write some words that sound like I'm in pain Put them in a song so you can relate I wake up day after day I'm the same why can't I change? I try to do things different ways But it just hurts and I hate the pain Life is pain I think that's the phrase The drugs are meant to take it away I've only learned how tolerance goes up and not the other way If it's all we can read If it's all we can see Tell me Is that not all we can be? If it's all we've been told To go after the gold What's the point of a soul? If it's all we can read If it's all we can see Tell me Is that not all we can be? If it's all we've been told To go after the gold Tell me What's the point of a soul?
