Born in the shadows where the lights don't reach
Echoes of the streets cold lessons they teach
Chains on my wrists but my mind stays free
Irony in the pain how it defines me
Running from the past but it's on my heels
A mirror of the future in the blood that spills
Fighting for survival in the world so cruel
The joke's on me played like a fool
Ironic how the darkness shines
In the depths of hell I find my rhymes
Twisted fate a cruel design
In the heart of the storm I call it mine
Ironic how the darkness shines
In the depths of hell I find my rhymes
Twisted fate a cruel design
In the heart of the storm I call it mine
Whispers in the night secrets untold
Broken dreams lie in streets of gold
Lost in the maze of my own despair
Hope is a ghost vanishing in thin air
Eyes wide open but I still can't see
Trapped in a cage with a broken key
Promises made but they're all lies
Truth in the tears that I can't disguise
Ironic how the darkness shines
In the depths of hell I find my rhymes
Twisted fate a cruel design
In the heart of the storm I call it mine
Ironic how the darkness shines
In the depths of hell I find my rhymes
Twisted fate a cruel design
In the heart of the storm I call it mine
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Trust is a weapon that I can't trust
In this game there's no winning hand
Just a twist of fate hard to understand
Laughing at the pain crying in the rain
Trying to find peace but it's all in vain
Life's a joke with a twisted punchline
In the chaos and the madness I redefine
So here's the irony the cruel jest
In the darkness I find my rest
In the paradox I find my voice
In the silence I make my choice
So here's to the irony
Here's to the irony
