He goes on to explain that he is like a fruitless tree, a stray dog without an owner, and someone who carries so much hate that speaking it out loud would cause the world to bleed.
In the second half of the verse, Nach Scratch speaks about the hardship of living in a world full of concrete mazes, shadows, lights, and empty souls.
