Same and same. When I turned 18 I went and got a big “Atmosphere” tattoo on my back lol. And I remember thinking before I got it “Even if I don’t still listen to him when I’m older I bet I could still appreciate how it’s a part of my life now!” And it’s TRUE. TBH I don’t listen to it often but periodically I do, and it’s just as good. 😊 No regrets. It’s my only tattoo too LOL
Posted this on another comment here, but it still applies. -When I was first introduced to atmosphere, as a European, I couldn't even speak English properly. I was like 14, and even though I understood the message through reading the lyrics, I couldn't just listen and understand. It's been 15 years, and I still return to this and other work from slug, eyedea, being able to truly listen and understand everything, not just from the language point of view, but experience wise too. The comment spoke to me because even tho back then, not only was I a kid, but I didn't even really understood the music, it still spoke to me so much it stuck with me for better part of my life. What I find really curious is back then, I was still living a pretty normal teenagers life, and liked this, yet I had no reason, now that I went through hell and experienced truly what some of their songs speak about, I like them as much as back then, when I had no reason to.
It's amazing how strongly a person can connect to a song, regardless of the release date. I was 16 when this song dropped. The subject matter didn't correlate to my age, but when I discovered it, it struck a chord within me so intrinsic that it will never leave my consciousness.
Rikki Tikki Tembo man I know it's been awhile since you made this comment but it resonates with me so well I've just gotta throw ya some love for it. Take an upvote.
my dad loved atmosphere, he would always play his shit in the car. my dad passed away a few days ago. i will always remember my dad when i hear slug rapping. rest in peace dad. god bless the dead.
I grew up listening to Slug and Atmosphere.... and AAAAA lot of underground hip hop....thank god for Atmosphere, and Bratha Ali, and Del... and alll of them,
I used to play this nonstop 15 years ago. As time passes, I forget about this song, and every time I forget it gets a little bit longer before I'm reminded. I'll probably be 40 before I'm back here again. What a masterpiece to transcend my life like that
I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp I live life like the captain of a sinking ship The one thing that i can guarantee I'm like a stepping razor, i suggest you stay fair with me Been payin dues for a decade plus, Before that i was just another face on the bus Tappin my foot, to the beat on the radio Dreamin 'bout the mic and the money and the ladies Oh mom, i promise im gonna be large Someday im gonna stop tryin to borrow your car Gonna go far, with charisma and skill Until they put my face on a million dollar bill Atmosphere, its just a ten letter word Discretion is the name of my cement-feathered bird And if you didnt hear, fuck whatevers heard I think you got the sickness i suggest you get it cured Caught up in the mix, of a bottle full of fix Im gonna hobble down the street 'til i reach knob creek Its not that i dont like you, i just dont wanna speak You fuckin freak Now keep your days out my week The world keeps a balance, through mathematics Defined by whatever youve added and subtracted Im pushin on the hammer, to trigger the brain Embrace how i live it, god loves ugly [chorus] God loves ugly... Once upon a time in minneapolis, yo I damn near had to steal the show I stepped on the stage, who is it? My names slug ive come to kill a couple minutes Whats up with the way, that everybody gathers around each other So they can steal each others sound If its all about gettin down with the get down How long i gotta wait for these fools to sit down? Appears more clear in its simplest form Nobody sees tears when youre standing in a storm Abandoning the norm, and handling the harvest Measuring the worth by the depth of the hardships I welcome all the hatred you can aim at my name I held on to the sacred ways of how to play the game When the soldiers started runnin short on rations I began tappin the egg, to spark the hatchin Make it happen And take this captain to the gallows I keep steerin us into an area thats shallow Talkin to my shadow, he advised me not to worry He said i should plant my tree and let it rise out of the fury So give me some light, a little love and some liquid Im gonna creep through the night And put a plug in the spigot And when the water grows And the dam starts to overflow Ill float atop the flood, holding on to my ugly [chorus] Why scream, when you can lose yourself inside the wide-screen Let life be a bowl of melted ice cream Or be the deer thats caught in my high beams Im rollin with the lights on, scared stiff Reality is just too much to bear with Paranoid, walkin around careless No wonder youre in love with your therapist Go to sleep my little time bomb

This guy has really struggled. Been fucking homeless and had all the odds against him. He's like such. A strong person. And my hats off to him. One of the best rappers. Never a sell out. Fuckin love him!!!
Atmosphere is by far the best thing ever created my dad and step mom showed me them I have so much love for this band they get me through everything even though all my friends around me are into all that new stuff this will forever be my escape get away
+Arianna notgrande Hell yea, Atmosphere is definitely my get away, just discovered two of my really god friends live em just as much we're going to see them in November! Can't wait, btw your dad and step mom are awesome old people lol
This song helped me get through a terrible part of my life, I was on the verge of pushing myself off, the song truly spoke to me,I know he's playing in Montana right now,my buddiesthere for it and I'm just trying to spread the word, this world loves you,everything in it, on it and around it is here for you, if you get the chance Punk a bully, and then shown the way back from their sin
Not the biggest Atmosphere fan, but this is definitely a song i will always listen to. "I wear my scars like the rings of a pimp, I live life like the captain of a sinking ship" That line always hits me, one of the best intros to a song

Its amazing how music helps the depressed. As a depressed person myself I listen to alot of similar to music like this on RUclips. I always see a comment from someone saying this song saved them. It's because this music makes you feel not alone. It resonates with you. Never seal the deal tough it out. Your purpose is among you.

Andrew The Anarchist. where the fuck did that come from? this is like me commenting ‘I fight for the rights of people with downs syndrome’ on an eminem video
one day a car in the middle of the night stopped at the red light before our window.. my roomate was smoking.. that car played this track out loud.. this was way back, like 15 years.. ever we were hooked to atmosphere and for all this song! thanks!!!!
Un amigo que es de el paso TX Era de el us army le mostraba estás canciones a la gente del el bloque pero todos se burlaban se estás canciones por qué nadie hablaba inglés,ya que solo gustaban de la instrumental y somos de cd Juárez Chihuahua pero con el tiempo nos enseñó algo de inglés y el mensaje que expresa slug es chingón,espero alguien entienda español y mire mi comentario
I heard that people from Chihuahua Mexico have a problem with people that speak English a lot down there.. which greatly saddens me cuz that's why I'm learning to speak Spanish in the first place. 😢
Found this song at 14 years old, I couldn’t stop near this song I hated my world back then, at some point I forgot about atmosphere, I just coasted through life sad and paranoid, now that I’m 18 this song and his music in general hits deeper but things are better now I just need to start living life.

slug gets me. this song. this record. it changed my life man. i probably would have killed myself a long time ago without this song. if you're here reading the comments you're a real one, carry on strugglers ✌️✌️
I feel u man and it's not just slug for me. other rhymesayers artists as well. specifically grieves and budo & eyedea/abilities. It's hard to put in to words what their work means. I hope they know the impact they've made.
As a 15 year old punk kid I was on a quick path to nowhere fast. Ended up stealing this CD and "when life gives you lemons" CD from a store being stupid and just stealing to steal. I didn't even know who atmosphere were or what the music was. When I got home I put these albums in and my entire life changed. Finally I had someone talking to me in a language I understood that wasn't saying to go get a gun or go sell drugs. Even tho I obtained those albums by being a shit person, i look back at that moment as one I would never take back. Those two albums have been there for me when I needed them most and I have a hard time thinking where I would be mentally without them.
Atmosphere is easily one of the greater hip-hop acts of all time. They are extremely consistent and they somehow manage to remain innovative. Mad props to my favorite hip-hop act.

Agreed. Saw them at red rocks in Colorado. By far the best experience ever. Waiting ten years to enjoy a live show and to make it even better it started to snow right before they took the stage. Simply put I will never forget it.
thank you for this song today. haven't heard this in a ill minute. if I didn't hear this I woulda done something terrible. thank you rhymesayers ent. for being standalone artist with integrity.
This song just speaks to my soul... every last word. Atmosphere is one of the best out there ... talkin real shit through dope rhymes. I swear he's too dope... more people need to hear him!
"oh ma, I promise, I'm gonna be LARGE, someday ima stop tryin'a borrow your car, ima go far, with charisma and skill until they put my face on the million $dollar bill" - genius
I remember being 14 running amuk with my homeboys Prince and Chappelle and they exposed me to this song. Fast forward 15 years and this is what keeps my feet on the ground. they opened my mind and for that I say GRACIAS
They're pretty well known in the Underground scene but yeah not many "hip-hop heads" that say they love Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, 2pac never once heard of Atmosphere or Brother Ali.
I think you'd be surprised. I thought the same thing about Arizona but I saw Slug/Rebelution this year at Luckyman's St Patty's day festival and the turn out and fan base was HUGE for slug.
Well, where I live I almost don't see anyone who's an atmosphere fan. But that might change this school year. I'm about to enter highschool. Hopefully, they'll be more variation in types of rap. All I hear is drake, ASAP Rocky, and Kendrick Lamar. Don't get me wrong, Kendrick is without a doubt the best in the rap game right now but what I would like I to see is someone who likes my type of rap which is like atmosphere type of thing.
israel castelan yo why cant cool people like you live in my area lol theres no meatbugs where i live only the people i introduce slug to. But the people that understand it really do love atmosphere. It makes me happy when im able to spread some light.
israel castelan I doubt anyone will be open to music like Slug's. I've been listening to Slug for almost 5 years, and kids in high school listen to the same crap. You try to play some Atmosphere, most kids will tell you to skip it because it sounds "boring".
Atmosphere. Most underrated rapper ever. This dude is so freakin dope. Been listening to him for years. It sucks none of my friends listen to him or can even appreciate his genius. Love you Slug, your the man!
Pretty sure i'm still gonna be listening to this years from now because before I heard this song I used to have no confidence at all, but now i'm getting out and making friends. These lyrics are life changin, thanks Slug.
Just keep living and praise to truth speakers with the gift a gab. If it grabs you and pulls your life in another direction it might be for you. God bless and love your life!
Ive been to more of their shows than I can count and each and every time has been an outer body emotional life changing awe inspiring experience no matter what songs are played. Ive seen a great deal of artists live both mainstream as well as underground. However, not a single one has left me in the indescribable state of bliss, void of all the cynicism I too often carry along with me day to day in the same way atmosphere does. Between the brief talks i managed to somehow have with slug one on one to the nights spent entirely backstage getting to know him amd ant in a genuine fashion to the incomprehensible amount of dedicated fans of such diversity in every sex, age, race, creed, sexuality, nationality, social class, and yet even with such a diverse group of people there has never been a time nor place where it truely felt as though none of those differences mattered for if you're a true fan and follower of their music you know that none of those differences mean anything. What matters is that even in a sold out venue packed with strangers, once Atmosphere begins to unravel their soul into their music, the entire crowd somehow become just as close as if we were a family. Ive never met someone I couldnt connect with on a deep intimate level at one of their shows. And I truely believe that if you actually listen and follow Atmosphere the way most true fans do, then you will be able to understand and relate to my never ending lecture about just how powerful and moving these 2 men have been for countless of people who often times could not find any true connection to anyone or anything until they miraculously were able to discover Atmosphere. ....disclaimer: all dislikes and or negative or derogatory comments left in regards to my lengthy statement will only leave ypurself open for brutal and whitty retorts the likes of which slug himself may even deem as burn worthy. So please go listen closely and take the time to understand and feel every song. Your life will never be the same.

"why scream, when you can loose yourself inside the widescreen, let life be your bowl of melted ice cream, or be the deer that's caught in my high beams, I'm rollin with the brights on, scared stiff reality is just to much to bear with"
+Diana Valadez hey, im a drug addict and think about death constantly, but when im sober, the clouds open up and i realize how great life is, let me just say this if you remember anything..life is the greatest gift, its not gonna get better in the next life, how could it? life is all we know.
that's not the way you should wanna go its too early u haven't experienced life to the fullest yet trust me I was in your shoes and a few years later I'm feeling a lot better (mostly kuz of the weed tho lol) stay up beautiful
Atmosphere was huge in my life in High School. Now I'm 33 and still find myself jamming to old Atmosphere
Hell yeah same here!!!! Play some atmosphere today 😌😌😌
Same and same. When I turned 18 I went and got a big “Atmosphere” tattoo on my back lol.

"I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp, I live life like the captain of a sinking ship"
Hands down the best intro ever in hip hop
thats so true
+FeEdeR MaAD dope shit, thanks for putting me onto that
Its pretty good, but I still like the National Disgrace "They call me a jerk, once they get to know me..."
that's bullshit, thanks for ruining the track for me!

It's amazing how strongly a person can connect to a song, regardless of the release date. I was 16 when this song dropped. The subject matter didn't correlate to my age, but when I discovered it, it struck a chord within me so intrinsic that it will never leave my consciousness.
that was deep
did you call?.
Same here. I was 15 I believe and it still holds a candle up to any rap or hip hop I hear nowadays coming out
Rikki Tikki Tembo man I know it's been awhile since you made this comment but it resonates with me so well I've just gotta throw ya some love for it. Take an upvote.
That Guy all of their music is very inspirational
Hits a lot different in my 30’s than it did in my teens…
I’m here on my first listen since I was probably 20. 33 now.
Grow up
Mallory appreciated you. She left 27
Dude started at like 17 now at 28 I'm like fuck it, wear them scars
God loves you
my dad loved atmosphere, he would always play his shit in the car. my dad passed away a few days ago. i will always remember my dad when i hear slug rapping. rest in peace dad.
god bless the dead.
God loves ugly
He's resting in paradise
Omg I bet you fuckin love yesterday even more
@@tylerhughlett5659 2nd that. As soon as I read this comment I thought of that song
I grew up listening to Slug and Atmosphere.... and AAAAA lot of underground hip hop....thank god for Atmosphere, and Bratha Ali, and Del... and alll of them,
I used to play this nonstop 15 years ago. As time passes, I forget about this song, and every time I forget it gets a little bit longer before I'm reminded. I'll probably be 40 before I'm back here again. What a masterpiece to transcend my life like that
I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp
I live life like the captain of a sinking ship
The one thing that i can guarantee
I'm like a stepping razor, i suggest you stay fair with me
Been payin dues for a decade plus,
Before that i was just another face on the bus
Tappin my foot, to the beat on the radio
Dreamin 'bout the mic and the money and the ladies
Oh mom, i promise im gonna be large
Someday im gonna stop tryin to borrow your car
Gonna go far, with charisma and skill
Until they put my face on a million dollar bill
Atmosphere, its just a ten letter word
Discretion is the name of my cement-feathered bird
And if you didnt hear, fuck whatevers heard
I think you got the sickness i suggest you get it cured
Caught up in the mix, of a bottle full of fix
Im gonna hobble down the street 'til i reach knob creek
Its not that i dont like you, i just dont wanna speak
You fuckin freak
Now keep your days out my week
The world keeps a balance, through mathematics
Defined by whatever youve added and subtracted
Im pushin on the hammer, to trigger the brain
Embrace how i live it, god loves ugly
[chorus]
God loves ugly...
Once upon a time in minneapolis, yo
I damn near had to steal the show
I stepped on the stage, who is it?
My names slug ive come to kill a couple minutes
Whats up with the way, that everybody gathers around each other
So they can steal each others sound
If its all about gettin down with the get down
How long i gotta wait for these fools to sit down?
Appears more clear in its simplest form
Nobody sees tears when youre standing in a storm
Abandoning the norm, and handling the harvest
Measuring the worth by the depth of the hardships
I welcome all the hatred you can aim at my name
I held on to the sacred ways of how to play the game
When the soldiers started runnin short on rations
I began tappin the egg, to spark the hatchin
Make it happen
And take this captain to the gallows
I keep steerin us into an area thats shallow
Talkin to my shadow, he advised me not to worry
He said i should plant my tree and let it rise out of the fury
So give me some light, a little love and some liquid
Im gonna creep through the night
And put a plug in the spigot
And when the water grows
And the dam starts to overflow
Ill float atop the flood, holding on to my ugly
[chorus]
Why scream, when you can lose yourself inside the wide-screen
Let life be a bowl of melted ice cream
Or be the deer thats caught in my high beams
Im rollin with the lights on, scared stiff
Reality is just too much to bear with
Paranoid, walkin around careless
No wonder youre in love with your therapist
Go to sleep my little time bomb
Cool thanks. Now I gotta go to sleep my little time bomb

This song has made me grow as a person. If it hasn't for you. Your not listening...
His lyrics littlerally explain my mentality. Love u slug, your a real one
"go to sleep my little time bomb"....best outro ever
I got that as a tattoo
Found this song at 14 years old, I couldn’t stop near this song I hated my world back then, at some point I forgot about atmosphere, I just coasted through life sad and paranoid, now that I’m 18 this song and his music in general hits deeper but things are better now I just need to start living life.

top underground tune for sure
reminiscing on my high school days of 06-09 enamored by underground rap
Same here. I remember my friend had this album on his iPod and we used to fight over who got to listen to this particular song on the bus ride home.
Probably the definition of all Atmosphere songs.

I loved this song 15 years ago and i love it till this day. The lyrics are really exceptional. Thanks slug!!
This was the first album i was introduced to through my brother's friend. Been a huge Atmosphere follower ever since.
Didn't know listening to this song 20+ years later would cause goose bumps like it did.
1991 baby here. Just hit 34 on the 31st. I was gifted a bottle of knobb creek by my kids and wife. Played thus on repeat the whole weekend.
Seeing this song live was amazing
lucky
i also saw it live at red rocks. memorable for sure
saw it live at the Shrine Sept 24
Agreed. Saw them at red rocks in Colorado. By far the best experience ever. Waiting ten years to enjoy a live show and to make it even better it started to snow right before they took the stage. Simply put I will never forget it.
Hell yeah it was... saw them live in Eugene, OR, in 2004. It was incredible man. #503
2021 still out here listening to this and sunshine. Stay up!
"Nobody sees tears when you're standing in the storm." They never do till it's too late.
The Midwest loves you! This album makes Michigan almost livable
40 years old to still rep Atamos. Be here until he and I am done...legend
I like new Slug but this was the best Slug
agreed
This is always relevant
always
True
,
thank you for this song today. haven't heard this in a ill minute. if I didn't hear this I woulda done something terrible. thank you rhymesayers ent. for being standalone artist with integrity.
Never get tired of this song
"You fucken freak. Now get your days out my week" This man taught me more about poetry than any English lesson I ever had in school.
This is where my underground hip hop journey started. God bless the day a local radio station introduced me to atmosphere
Just got done watching you in OKC, so glad I got to experience this live in person! Keep up the gospel good sir! ❤
hearing this guy for the first time!!! fifth song i've checked out by him so far. he's good
How ya doin after 8 years
Still here 15 years later...good music never gets old
This song just speaks to my soul... every last word. Atmosphere is one of the best out there ... talkin real shit through dope rhymes. I swear he's too dope... more people need to hear him!
no wonder your in love with your therapist ;P
I was in 9th grade when I heard this
Today I’m 28
Got damnnn. Time flies
But this song just take you for a flight back in time ..
I needed this today...life is hard... Music saves me
"oh ma, I promise, I'm gonna be LARGE, someday ima stop tryin'a borrow your car, ima go far, with charisma and skill until they put my face on the million $dollar bill" - genius
"The world keeps a balance, through mathematics defined by whatever you've added and suntracted."
This song never gets fucking old
Freddy Avila never
@@maricelablevins6061 ever
But have ulya hear of the remix?
I remember being 14 running amuk with my homeboys Prince and Chappelle and they exposed me to this song. Fast forward 15 years and this is what keeps my feet on the ground. they opened my mind and for that I say GRACIAS
Appears more clear in its simplest form; nobody sees tears when your'e standing in the storm 💘
Sad to say atmosphere Is underrated. Atleast in California.
They're pretty well known in the Underground scene but yeah not many "hip-hop heads" that say they love Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, 2pac never once heard of Atmosphere or Brother Ali.
I think you'd be surprised. I thought the same thing about Arizona but I saw Slug/Rebelution this year at Luckyman's St Patty's day festival and the turn out and fan base was HUGE for slug.
Well, where I live I almost don't see anyone who's an atmosphere fan. But that might change this school year. I'm about to enter highschool. Hopefully, they'll be more variation in types of rap. All I hear is drake, ASAP Rocky, and Kendrick Lamar. Don't get me wrong, Kendrick is without a doubt the best in the rap game right now but what I would like I to see is someone who likes my type of rap which is like atmosphere type of thing.
israel castelan yo why cant cool people like you live in my area lol theres no meatbugs where i live only the people i introduce slug to. But the people that understand it really do love atmosphere. It makes me happy when im able to spread some light.
israel castelan I doubt anyone will be open to music like Slug's. I've been listening to Slug for almost 5 years, and kids in high school listen to the same crap. You try to play some Atmosphere, most kids will tell you to skip it because it sounds "boring".
2017 and still listening to my high school music.
This is easily one of my favorite songs by Atmosphere.
There are all kinds of hip hop gems around and this will always be one of them.
I'm randomly reminded of this song when things are rough, seemingly thro divine intervention
Atmosphere saved my life
its 2019 and god still loves me
Puck Norris 🙌🏼🦅
That’s 2020 and God loves me and he will keep loving me 👍
This man is so underrated! He deserves more recognition!💯
I believe that one day from all the pain comes the ultimate understanding. The more pain you go through, the more you could possibly ever learn. Love.
This song came to my mind out of the blue for a reason, music is life
Glad someone shared this dude with me.
Atmosphere. Most underrated rapper ever. This dude is so freakin dope. Been listening to him for years. It sucks none of my friends listen to him or can even appreciate his genius. Love you Slug, your the man!
Slug Atmosphere is the group...or duo now
@@kyleswayze1885its slug (the guy singing) and ant (the beats)
Falling in love at first sight is so cliche. Falling in love is slowly getting to know and accepting each other regardless of flaws.
I am so happy I got to see slug and ant front row in San Luis Obispo. Every song is just as good live…dude it was insane.
Pretty sure i'm still gonna be listening to this years from now because before I heard this song I used to have no confidence at all, but now i'm getting out and making friends. These lyrics are life changin, thanks Slug.
Keep your days out my week
keep your daze out my weak
Ki paur dyz ah ooot mai vveeck
Slug, one of the most underrated mc's of all time, no doubt 💯
MF DOOM is
God doesn't love ugly God only loves beautiful ❤
God would see the beauty in everyone ❤
My dad loves atmospheric and I love everything he does so that’s why I love atmospheric
To my best friend lonnie matthews Jr. Missing as of 2/21/21. We listened to atmosphere all the time.. please come back home brother.
incredible lyrics. Slug is a poet
The flow to this song is so good
if i dont hear this in my car at least once a day (when i drive) i just feel weird. i love this song
This is still one of my all time favorite songs. 2019 “discretion is the name of my cement feathered bird.”
Just keep living and praise to truth speakers with the gift a gab. If it grabs you and pulls your life in another direction it might be for you. God bless and love your life!
Ive been to more of their shows than I can count and each and every time has been an outer body emotional life changing awe inspiring experience no matter what songs are played. Ive seen a great deal of artists live both mainstream as well as underground. However, not a single one has left me in the indescribable state of bliss, void of all the cynicism I too often carry along with me day to day in the same way atmosphere does. Between the brief talks i managed to somehow have with slug one on one to the nights spent entirely backstage getting to know him amd ant in a genuine fashion to the incomprehensible amount of dedicated fans of such diversity in every sex, age, race, creed, sexuality, nationality, social class, and yet even with such a diverse group of people there has never been a time nor place where it truely felt as though none of those differences mattered for if you're a true fan and follower of their music you know that none of those differences mean anything. What matters is that even in a sold out venue packed with strangers, once Atmosphere begins to unravel their soul into their music, the entire crowd somehow become just as close as if we were a family. Ive never met someone I couldnt connect with on a deep intimate level at one of their shows. And I truely believe that if you actually listen and follow Atmosphere the way most true fans do, then you will be able to understand and relate to my never ending lecture about just how powerful and moving these 2 men have been for countless of people who often times could not find any true connection to anyone or anything until they miraculously were able to discover Atmosphere.
....disclaimer: all dislikes and or negative or derogatory comments left in regards to my lengthy statement will only leave ypurself open for brutal and whitty retorts the likes of which slug himself may even deem as burn worthy. So please go listen closely and take the time to understand and feel every song. Your life will never be the same.

Well said
Awwww some real hip hop, so refreshing.
This song makes me feel so lonely!
nobody sees tears when you're standing in the storm, abandoning the norm & tending to the harvest.. gOd lOves uglY
Keep your days out my week....
This has some of the best lyricism of Slug's career. Not to mention that ANT's melancholic beat has withstood the test of time rather well.

"why scream, when you can loose yourself inside the widescreen, let life be your bowl of melted ice cream, or be the deer that's caught in my high beams, I'm rollin with the brights on, scared stiff reality is just to much to bear with"
This song still saves me when I want to take my life
+Diana Valadez hey, im a drug addict and think about death constantly, but when im sober, the clouds open up and i realize how great life is, let me just say this if you remember anything..life is the greatest gift, its not gonna get better in the next life, how could it? life is all we know.
