[Verse 1]
He locked the door 3 times
Before he went to bed
Paranoia and ma** confusion up in his head
At night, he'd find it hard to sleep
Afraid for his life, at the slightest little peep
But peep see…
He the type a cat that always try to live safe
Never took a risk
Never even been on a date
And late nights he'd stay locked up in his home
His dome on the roam
And wouldn't even answer the phone
He'd just, sit there alone
And stare at the dark
Afraid his life would end
But then again, when did it start?
Planes? Too dangerous
People? Too contagious
Like an animal livin' locked up in a cage
It's safe to say that his life would never stray
From this box that he's created
Living in it day by day has gotten hectic
But still, it's the only place he feels OK
Pacing back and forth, his patience short
His saneness floats away
Paranoia is too weak a word
The feeling he felt was stronger
Than any Webster's dictionary could conjure
Up, was a place he rarely looked or went
Down on himself is where his life was spent
Days and weeks pa** by in the blink of an eye
Life moves fast in the mind of the overly shy
But even that's an understatement when it come to this guy
He ain't Biggie Smalls
This cat was far from ready to die
And so, in the darkness one night
Locked up in his cell
Lying on his bed, the thoughts in his head
Turn to hell
His hearing voices now, the choices now become slim
What's in my room?
What's in the bathroom?
What's in the kitchen?
Someone's in here I know it!
And his mind kept slippin
Flippin' freaking out
Like mushrooms done had his mind trippin'
Reached under his bed for the Glock that he kept
Made sure it was loaded then out into the hallway he crept
His hands on vibrate
His mind state, you couldn't fathom
If anyone was in this house
He was ready to blast ‘em
Headed for the bathroom to make sure it was vacant
He pushed the door open slow
Like he was tryin' not to break it
He spotted something in the darkness so he fired a shot
Gla** shattered and popped
Those noises he'd heard, were just thoughts
He got caught up in the surreality of his own mind
But a lesson was taught
That might allow him to shine
He flipped the switch up to shed some light on the section
Only to find himself viewing his fragmented reflection
He stared into his own eyes and realized that lonely night
d**h wasn't what he was truly afraid of… it was life
