Scroobius Pip - The Struggle lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 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 my self alone in different hotel rooms just me and my thoughts And that milk stained moon I'm drawn to walk the street as my heart rate rises A heavy coat, a scarf, a hat all become my disguises I made it known I suffer from nosebleeds and migraines To explain the occasional mood swings and blood stains There are over a thousand people murdered in this world each day So as I drift from town to town nobody looks my way Its an addiction and I ain't proud of it But the power you feel there's no cloud in it The fear before the fact, as they know some things wrong The vain attempt to scream their muffled swan song The struggle, the shock in their eyes My grip around their throat as all their hope dies The sudden loss of breath there is no thrill equal My name is Johnny Depp and I k** people The fear The scream The struggle The shock x4 [Bridge] You f**ers never saw it coming who'd of thunk it or thought it It 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 probably think it stigmata Success s**s less than standard existence But when you exceed the standard dreams what becomes of our 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 The fear The scream The struggle The shock x2 [Verse 2] 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 the deeper I must delve And then the the only guide I have to life becomes myself This was always gonna' happen In fact I'll be surprised if I'm the first This kind of success and power is bound to bring out the worst With success come power and great success has been given me And with great power, comes great f**ability 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 then I have a blood stained lawn My public portraits immaculate but there's blood on the easel MY NAME IS JOHNNY DEPP AND I KILL PEOPLE
