lirik lagu mersh999 - rewind
(verse 1)
look, if i could rewind the tape, just pop the cassette in
go back to the days where the floor was what i slept on
the 8 mile tension, detroit winters, no heater
the world was a predator and i was just the feeder
back when donmez was a name, not a brand or a curse
and i carried every ounce of my pain in a purse—no, a backpack
filled with lyrics i scrawled on the bus ride
keeping the demons and the hunger locked up on thе inside
i remembеr the silence of a house with no lights
the bitter taste of the powdered milk on those cold nights
mama’s in the back room, another pill, another bottle
while i’m staring at the ceiling, foot stuck on the throttle
but the car ain’t moving, it’s rusted in the driveway
trying to find a map to a future that’s going my way
but every road was a dead end, every sign was a lie
i was just a ghost in the making, waiting to die
(chorus)
they say the past is a ghost that’s always haunting your heels
but they don’t tell you how the cold of the iron feels
i’m looking in the mirror but the reflection’s a blur
thinking ‘bout the boy i was and the monster i were
yeah, i’m digging up the graves just to see what i find
in the dusty, dark corners of a fractured mind
(verse 2)
now flash forward to the chaos, the peroxide and the rage
when i stepped out the shadow and onto the center stage
i was the boogeyman in a hoodie, a menace to the state
fed the world a spoonful of my own self~hate
but look closer at the footage, beneath the middle fingers
there’s a sadness in the eyes that’s the only thing that lingers
i was chasing a ghost while i was becoming one too
selling my soul in a booth, what was i supposed to do?
every platinum plaque felt like a tombstone in the hall
the bigger the shadow, the harder it is not to fall
i lost friends to the needles and brothers to the lead
while i sat on a throne made of the words that i said
i miss the days before the cameras, before the lawsuits
before i had to worry if my branches forgot their roots
but you can’t go home again, the house is burnt down
and there’s no one left to recognize the king with the crown
(outro)
yeah. sometimes i wonder…
if i never picked up that pen
if i stayed in that trailer
would i be happier?
or just another ghost?
