All Hail

It's taken a year to realize that I will never get those five years back My time away from home has shown me what sort of identity I truly lack I've seen friends and family come and go as I dwelled in familiar space On the day that it was left behind, all I felt was shame and disgrace All I can do is walk these streets with hopeless and bewildered eyes Memories and photos appear in the aftermath much to my surprise This is the work of forces within, but at this point I don't care I'd love to fix the past with what I know now, but I'm too far gone in this despair All hail the castle that housed kings among men I will revisit these memories time and again All hail the castle in which queens chose to dwell Alone and exposed, I am in hell I moved to the city so I could get that bread But instead, the ego got to my head Woke up one day, rolled out of bed And realized that my passion was dead All I wanted was to be respected But nobody likes you when you're a depressed kid 'Cuz I got a brain that was born defective My mind's poisoned, it's super effective So what do you when you're tired of hiding? When you're broke and you're hungry with no one left to confide in? The answer is simple, you swallow your pride and Admit you got a problem, so as of writing I'll be a Hatter again in a few days or less I'm taking my life back from the throes of stress Through the last year, onwards I have pressed Before life was good, it had to be a mess After all this time, after all this pain This one constant remains After all this time, after all this pain This one constant remains I KNOW WHO I AM All hail the castle that housed kings among men I will revisit these memories time and again All hail the castle in which queens chose to dwell Alone and exposed, I am in hell
