Lying my head on my arms, feeling weak and alone
I'm enduring life on my own, no family to keep me at home And I'm prone to spending nights here blacking out Really attacking my liver, the victor never in doubt Moping about, wasting all my meaningless days Endless malaise, feel like I've always been in this haze Pressed in a maze, until in a blaze HE arrived at the bar He's a shining star, bringing light I've been deprived so far I felt revived like I'd died and he shocked me to life Stopped my strife and all we'd done was locked eyes Then I decide to try to go and chat with the guy Ohh but why, I'm in front of him and suddenly shy Praying to die because now I can't seem to speak Humiliatingly weak, silent, but clearly an extreme freak Entropy will keep me from breaking out of this funk Like a punk I start to turn away, quaking like a drunk Except he talked to me first, like we were old mates States "Come on, you need to remember we control our fates" Lumbered away, never even looked back Understood it's a trap, you can get hooked on that Course I followed him, his charisma was magnetic I couldn't help it, I felt like a prisoner, kinda pathetic Frenetically trying to keep pace, he turned down a dark lane Enthusiastically I do the same for reasons I can't explain Right by a drain he stops, standing over a sleeping bum Speaking to me "Father Tom, his crime was keeping mum All those kids came to the Church, they were under his care Told nobody what he knew the other priests were doing there" A knife was in his hand, then in mine before I was hardly aware Never knew who he was, gave me the choice between hope and despair |

Sinacog - The NBL needs your full attention... this doesn't have it. When you try you're at least coherent and occasionally drop a decent line . Here you're just doing what you usually do on autopilot, repeating the same words over and over and then dropping a Universe reference. This shameless pandering will not be rewarded... lol. But seriously, start trying a little or just go away or your new name will be 'Bye Week'... cuz we will just give you to people who need to pad their records, mmkay? Cool interview this week though in the NBL mag.
Ender - Solid verse here my man. Rebounded from last week IMO. You started off very strong, dropping gems like: "And I'm prone to spending nights here blacking out Really attacking my liver, the victor never in doubt" And kept it going, telling a cool story with a tight flow and some cool multi's. I kind of lost you when they left the bar though, I didnt really like how it went from that point and even your rhyme schemes loosened up and weren't as well delivered. It's like you tried for the first three quarters of your rhyme, saw Sin's verse, then just mailed in the rest lol. Which is cool, you did what you needed to win here. I enjoyed it overall.
