Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - The Struggle lyrics

I spend my life on the move, my life on the road Town to town, city to city, time zone to time zone Success keeps you busy so I can't complain how life is But in a life like this you tend to develop some vices My wife is my life and I'd never cheat on her But there are one or two things that I do keep from her I have my addictions, or rather my addictions have me Sometimes the shadow of my shadow is all I can be I find myself alone in different hotel rooms Just me and my thoughts and that milk-stained moon I'm drawn to walk the streets as my heart rate rises A heavy coat, a scarf, a hat, all become my disguises. I've made it known that I suffer from nosebleeds and migraines To explain the occasional mood swings and blood stains There's over a thousand people murdered in this world each day So as I drift from town to town nobody looks my way It's an addiction, and I ain't proud of it But the power that you feel there's no clouding it. The fear before the fact, as they know something's wrong The vain attempts to scream their muffled swan song The struggle, the shock in their eyes, My grip around their throat as all their hope dies That sudden loss of breath, there is no thrill equal, My name is Johnny Depp and I k** people. [HOOK:] The Fear The Scream The Struggle The Shock You f**ers never saw it coming, who'da thunk it or thought it? You'd be ignored like the ramblings of a drunk if you'd report it My performances are greeted with plaudits and laughter If you caught me red handed you'd probably think it's stigmata Success s**s less than standard existence But when you exceed that standard dreams, what becomes of ambitions? The average man can dream dreams of a path he's never walked But when that path's your day to day, your dreams become warped [HOOK:] The Fear The Scream The Struggle The Shock People underestimate the value of dreaming That which you aspire to provides a roof, a ceiling In particular the dreams that there's no way of achieving Like I wanna be Brad Pitt or something equally fleeting I can't aspire to such things so deeper I must delve And then the only guide I have to life becomes myself This was always going to happen, in fact I'd be surprised if I'm the first This kind of success and power is bound to bring out the worst With success comes power and great success has been given me And with great power... comes great f**-a-bility I'm a good husband though, I've never cheated on my wife Despite opportunities I live a monogamous life My addictions manifest in a darker form If the heart is a house, I have a blood stained lawn My public portraits immaculate but there's blood on the easel My name is Johnny Depp and I k** people [HOOK:] The Fear The Scream The Struggle The Shock
