Where's My Soul?

I don't get a lotta love from my hometown Kickin' it to Motown. Critics love the ol' sound all round My music be spreadin' in the background No we never back down. When you blow up you go back down Demons want the soul that I have found And every day they gain ground. Soon they'll fuckin' surround I kill 'em every day but come sun down My psyche becomes a breeding ground. They rise again and we go round and round and round Where oh where's my soul? What on this Earth could make me whole? Shot in the back. There's another hole To fill it I'd give it all Where oh where's my soul? What on this Earth could make me whole? Shot in the back. There's another hole To fill it I'd give it all I go nowhere without guidance You feel much safer when you're in an alliance The danger of groupin' up's compliance My men revel defiance. They rebel against all known tyrants When you're with me you stand next to giants The next skill you learn is the power of silence Remember to always say no to reliance David can bring down Goliath Where oh where's my soul? What on this Earth could make me whole? Shot in the back. There's another hole To fill it I'd give it all Where oh where's my soul? What on this Earth could make me whole? Shot in the back. There's another hole To fill it I'd give it all I've got this venomous poison that I'm ready to infect you with Yeah music sucks it out of my veins, but you inherit it I'm a scorn to my family. A weakling, embarrassment Yeah I prayed they'd all go straight to hell. They proved heretic And that's all from my heritage. A white boy is meant to have better, but my inheritance Is a rusting silver spoon, poor work ethic, and arrogance Just another lump of pestilence dragged into irrelevance And I probably deserve it Yeah, yeah. I deserve it I'll be better I promise you all I'll be better Where oh where's my soul? What on this Earth could make me whole? Shot in the back. There's another hole To fill it I'd give it all Where oh where's my soul? What on this Earth could make me whole? Shot in the back. There's another hole To fill it I'd give it all Bet you forgot about me Havin' fun time. Young and dumb, I run free Starin' at the sun, got cold feet Goin' deep into that abyss of old heat Feelin' I'd never die, I don't think I just act and now that's an attribute I just lack Cruisin' down memories in hatchbacks Drownin' in the flashbacks. Wishin' that I had that And the time creeps close to the ending Don't look at your watch. There's no use pretending And now's when we try to start mending Broken hearts, stops and starts. Is it too late to try our hand at tending To the fire that's been burning out our candle? I know the pain well. It's often mishandled Hide it, enshrine it, place it up on the mantle In the end it's only a scandal Where oh where's my soul? What on this Earth could make me whole? Shot in the back. There's another hole To fill it I'd give it all Where oh where's my soul? What on this Earth could make me whole? Shot in the back. There's another hole To fill it I'd give it all Oftentimes I fantasize about a better me One you could trust for much and who would guarantee Nothing but love and riches for his family And they would live long and happily Instead, I'm a walking tragedy Cause I just doubt myself into a casualty The cycle repeats itself irrationally But I could be that better me. Step by step. Degree, degree I honestly thought that there was no helping me I thought the good times would only be memories Today I sang a positive melody It had some major chords. Don't tell on me
