99 Lives

It's been way too long
I miss you all so much
I wish it hadn't been so hard
To continually keep in touch 
It has been so maddening 
Being cut off from my home
Once again the melancholy king
Is growing tired of being alone
I need a break from reality
To take a swim in nostalgia river
I need to rest my head at home
So who I am can be delivered
They say you don't know what you got
Until it's no longer yours
I've been feeling all of that lately 
And when it rains it pours
I didn't mean to never come back
But the days they get away from me
Life is hard , the daily grind
Has not been dealt with so easily
I came down here and I did well
Then found my way to rock bottom
Then climbed back up that hill again
And Face yet even more problems
The struggle is way real
But if I didn't have the lot of you
Rooting for me and keeping me sane
I'd be crazier than deadpool
So to ease the stress in my head
And the pain in my heart
I'm gonna find a way
To visit the place I hit start
I just need an extra life
This game of life is wearing me thin
But I gotta hit it full force
After I put another quarter in
My batteries are charged up
And I got the walk through
I'm gonna do what needs done
So I can come back home and see you
Then come back with 99 lives
Like I put in the Konami code
With renewed energy and vigor
And battle what ever may unfold
