Steven-Jake Miller

[ti:Steven] [ar:Jake Miller] [al:The Road Less Traveled - EP] [by:] [offset:0] [00:15.51]Yeah look [00:17.25]Let me tell you about [00:18.07]A kid named Steven [00:19.38]He's slowly running out [00:19.95]Of things to believe in [00:21.48]Every couple of months [00:22.36]His mom leaves him [00:23.10]For no good reason [00:24.23]His step-dad beats him [00:25.60]Not too many friends [00:26.28]Only ever had a few of them [00:27.67]But recently they don't want [00:28.41]Anything to do with him [00:29.47]Always eating lunch [00:30.22]In the bathroom stall [00:31.03]He just wants to feel normal [00:32.34]And be cool again yeah [00:33.84]Always feeling like the outcast [00:35.39]He's been going crazy [00:36.26]Ever since his dad passed [00:37.39]He needs guidance [00:38.02]And advice but instead [00:39.09]He only has breakdowns [00:40.11]And flashbacks of the car crash uh [00:42.11]It's been getting harder everyday [00:43.64]If he was still around [00:44.58]Everything would be ok [00:45.76]Cuz his dad was always the light [00:46.94]At the end of the tunnel [00:47.94]But now that same damn tunnel [00:48.87]Is looking dark and grey [00:50.38]He keeps quiet in the back of the class [00:52.06]And when the bell rings [00:53.18]Steven hurries home fast [00:54.49]Scared to death the other kids [00:55.67]Will kick his a** on the long walk home [00:57.36]Cuz its happened in the past so [00:58.67]He's getting used to [00:59.47]The black eyes and fat lips [01:00.84]But all he's got is a fake smile and cut wrists [01:02.92]Wishin' he could walk right up to them [01:04.25]And show them the scars [01:05.13]And say look you're the reason [01:05.99]That I've done this [01:07.18]Maybe they would finally understand [01:08.54]And go back to how it was before it all began [01:10.66]But he's just a little different [01:11.66]So they taunt him and they beat him [01:12.91]Yeah it's all just fun and games [01:14.03]They don't give a damn yeah [01:15.18]His older brother ain't around [01:16.58]In and out of jail [01:17.58]Hanging with the wrong crowd [01:18.70]He's been doing coke smoking w**d [01:20.01]Getting drunk all his life he's a shame [01:21.70]No he's not too proud [01:22.67]Now his habits are rubbing off [01:24.16]On his little bro yeah [01:25.53]But guess what [01:26.28]Little did he know [01:27.10]That everytime he did a line [01:28.45]Everytime he lit a joint [01:29.45]Everytime he took a shot [01:30.51]He was sippin mode [01:31.32]So Steven's sitting in his room [01:32.51]Getting high now [01:33.38]Doors locked music up [01:34.51]With his lights out [01:35.57]He just takes another tote [01:36.58]Til his room fills with smoke [01:37.58]5-6-7 hours til he knocks out [01:39.63]Now he started stealing pills from his mom [01:41.47]8-9-10 at a time and now they're gone [01:43.59]And maybe for a moment [01:44.53]All his problems seem to fade [01:45.54]But the high fades too after not too long [01:47.54]And that's when it really sinks in [01:48.85]And that's when it hits him [01:50.03]That these god damn *** won't fix him [01:51.78]Curled up on the floor [01:52.90]Can't take it anymore [01:53.78]Now he's talking to God [01:54.77]Cuz he's the only one that gets him [01:56.21]On his knees looking up [01:57.53]Can't stop crying [01:58.27]"God I know we haven't talked in a long time [02:00.39]But this time I really need you [02:01.88]Please God help me say something [02:03.23]Just give me a sign [02:04.12]Because now I'm falling apart and [02:05.21]I don't think that I can do it [02:06.64]Please God give me the strength [02:07.77]To pull through it Tell me [02:08.89]Should I give up [02:09.70]I could end it all right now [02:11.01]I just don't know [02:11.70]If I'm brave enough to do it [02:13.01]Cuz there's gotta [02:13.57]Be a better way than suicide [02:14.96]Try to wait it out [02:15.90]Give it time you'll be fine [02:17.02]But it's been so long [02:18.09]And I still haven't been able to get rid [02:19.64]Of all the thoughts that I feel inside [02:21.05]So sick so angry so mad [02:23.36]And to top it off no one even knows that" [02:25.25]That's when he stood up [02:26.19]Wiped his tears [02:27.00]Walked over to his desk [02:28.06]And got a pen and a notepad [02:29.78]He just couldn't see it getting any better [02:31.34]So on a cold dark night in December [02:33.50]Steven knew exactly [02:34.49]What he had to do [02:35.43]But first he sat down [02:36.55]And wrote a couple letters [02:37.55]One to his step-dad [02:38.55]One to his mother [02:39.61]Couple to the kids at school [02:40.87]One to his brother [02:41.75]Bringing them the pain [02:42.62]That they once brought him [02:43.69]Tear drops on the paper one after another [02:46.17]Yeah I hope that you all feel guilty [02:48.29]Cuz I'm broken now [02:49.04]And you can't heal me [02:50.35]And now you're all an accompliss in murder [02:52.04]Each and every one of you [02:53.09]Has chipped in to kill me [02:54.40]So the reason that [02:55.27]I'm writing you this evening [02:56.50]Is to say goodbye [02:57.18]And to tell you that I'm leaving [02:58.52]But don't hold your breath [02:59.51]Cuz I ain't never coming back [03:00.79]Sincerely yours Steven
