#7 The Dark Knight Rises
------------------------------
It's said the hottest flames forge the hardest of steel.
But there's no telling how many secrets darkness conceals.
It was bred in me. Heavily fed to me at an early age.
Now I'm ready and trained. My brain's the weaponry.
I was a dark knight blinded by a hope. A spark.
I couldn't start right. My heart lies broken, dark.
I was abandoned during youth, mother tactically vile.
I wouldn't doubt that when she left me, she actually smiled.
I feel the heat from the hatred. The flame burns in me.
Laying patient. Face is vacant, as the pain returns to me.
There's no purpose or reason that she's a serpent deceiving.
I'm like a criminal locked up. Since birth I've been grieving.
Imprisoned to my room, I took to books it was sad,
to see a kid abused because he shared the looks of his dad.
Screaming to myself, clutching my throat as I'm gasping,
Alone and I'm trapped in the smoke and the ashes.
So i embrace the dark, learned to sin so I breathe flames.
My eyes can tell a story, you can tell that I've seen pain.
it wasn't without a purpose, I learned to steal cause i had to,
I was brainwashed damn it. How to feel? I put Dad through
the worst shit as a kid, it's real. I was bad dude.
A bad attitude, mouthy fuck just a tad rude.
Now I'm grown with two kids, turned the bad to a positive.
Found my soul in music, and earned a cause to live.
I've lost so much from inside, I hope i can find it.
When I'm looking through the lens of a kaleidoscope and I'm blinded.
