The Struggle
Scroobius Pip
[Verse 1: Scroobius Pip]
I spend my life on the move, my life on the road
Town to town, city to city, time zone to time zone
Success keeps you busy, so I can't complain how life is
But in a life like this you tend to develop some vices
My wife is my life and I'd never cheat on her
But there are one or two things I do keep from her
I have my addictions, or rather my addictions have me
Sometimes the shadow of my shadow is all I can be
I find my self alone in different hotel rooms
Just me and my thoughts and that milk-stained moon
I'm drawn to walk the street as my heart rate rises
A heavy coat, a scarf, a hat all become my disguises
I made it known I suffer from nosebleeds and migraines
To explain the occasional mood swings and blood stains
There are over a thousand people murdered in this world each day
So as I drift from town to town nobody looks my way
Its an addiction and I ain't proud of it
But the power you feel, there's no cloud in it
The fear before the fact as they know something's wrong
The vain attempt to scream their muffled swan song
The struggle, the shock in their eyes
My grip around their throat as all their hope dies
The sudden loss of breath, there is no thrill equal
My name is Johnny Depp and I kill people
[Chorus: Scroobius Pip]
The fear, the scream, the struggle, the shock
The fear, the scream, the struggle, the shock
The fear, the scream, the struggle, the shock
The fear, the scream, the struggle, the shock

[Bridge: Scroobius Pip]
You fuckers never saw it coming, who'd've thunk it or thought it
It'd be ignored like the ramblings of a drunk if you'd report it
My performances are greeted with plaudits and laughter
If you caught me red-handed, you probably think it stigmata
Success sucks less than standard existence
But when you exceed the standard dreams, what becomes of our ambitions?
The average man can dream dreams of a path he's never walked
But when that path's your day-to-day, your dreams become warped

[Chorus: Scroobius Pip]
The fear, the scream, the struggle, the shock
The fear, the scream, the struggle, the shock

[Verse 2: Scroobius Pip]
People underestimate the value of dreaming
That which you aspire to provides a roof, a ceiling
In particular, the dreams that there's no way of achieving
Like, "I wanna be Brad Pitt" or something equally fleeting
I can't aspire to such things, so deeper I must delve
And then the only guide I have to life becomes myself
This was always gonna happen - in fact, I'll be surprised if I'm the first
This kind of success and power is bound to bring out the worst
With success comes power and great success has been given me
And with great power comes great fuckability
I'm a good husband though, I've never cheated on my wife
Despite opportunities, I live a monogamous life
My addictions manifest in a darker form
If the heart is a house then I have a bloodstained lawn
My public portrait's immaculate but there's blood on the easel
My name is Johnny Depp and I kill people
[Chorus: Scroobius Pip]
The fear, the scream, the struggle, the shock
The fear, the scream, the struggle, the shock
