**HOOK:**
They say I'm case closed but I'm still case loading
Pain exploding while my mind's eroding
System's chosen, left me frozen, but I'm still composing
Texas holding what I'm owed and now my soul's corroding
**VERSE:**
Hair follicle clean but my head's a mess, CPS playing chess while I'm under duress
Step kids stepping back, step father stepped on, kept strong but kept wrong
in their file cabinet, child grabbing, wild patterns of bias
Try us, deny us, they're liars disguised as your honor
Dishonor my name while she's claiming she's changed
Strange how the game flip when you dip from the state
Fate sealed with no appeal, how's that real when I feel
like I'm still feeding bottles, full throttle, role model
but now I'm just hollow, hard to swallow, tomorrow's
borrowed time with my bloodline, flood my mind with the guilt
**BRIDGE:**
BPD got me feeling everything at once
Love and hate in the same space
War inside my head - miss you and resent you in the same breath
**HOOK:**
They say I'm case closed but I'm still case loading
Pain exploding while my mind's eroding
System's chosen, left me frozen, but I'm still composing
Texas holding what I'm owed and now my soul's corroding
**CHORUS:**
Lone Star left me starless, heartless bureaucrats
Carpet bomb my life then call it paperwork and facts
Deadbeat? Dead wrong, I was dead strong for my kids
Now I'm dead inside wondering what the hell I did
California dreaming but I'm Texas scheming revenge
This ain't the end, this is where my story transcends
**OUTRO VERSE:**
Transcends the pain but I'm still in the thick
Quick to judge, slow to budge, system's playing tricks
Stayed true but they betrayed you, now what you gonna do?
Weight of the world on my shoulders, getting colder by the day
Either beat it or let it beat you
Defeat's not an option when your son's future's at stake
Can't stay quiet gotta stay awake
Gotta be some type of price they gotta pay
**HOOK:**
They say I'm case closed but I'm still case loading
Pain exploding while my mind's eroding
System's chosen, left me frozen, but I'm still composing
Texas holding what I'm owed and now my soul's corroding
**OUTRO CHORUS:**
Lone Star left me starless but I'm still burning bright
Fight the system, fight myself, fight to make it right
Might be broken, might be bent, but I ain't giving in
When the smoke clears and dust settles, that's when I begin again
