Problematic Emotions

Inspired by Cielo Rojo VIII by Maceo Montoya

All I see is the dark road and the red sky that’s illuminated. 

Traveling down this path that’s fucking fading, and yes, I might be exaggerating.

But I am alone, men, are y’all relating?

This is some bs as you can see.

Look me in my eyes and lie to me, lie to me, and tell me that you won't leave.

Lie to me and tell me that you will stay.

Lie to me and act like you really care.

Lie to me and treat me like a fool.

Lie to me just like I lie to you when you ask me if I’m fine and I say I am.

I have this front that I must put on.

Put up a fake smile and stay monotone.

Don’t you dare let the tears flow down your face. 

You're a man thinking of opening up? That’s insane.

Have you not learned from your past? You open up and then they go bye bye

And I know they said they wouldn’t leave, but fool me twice, damn, the shame on me.

So yeah, that dark road, yeah, it calls my name.

The sky doesn’t change, red it remains. A sign of my anger, sadness, and pain. 

But I’m a man so hidden it stays.
