Find me lodged in between bad and awful You’ll be charred if you believe in otherwise... Set me free to make believe in my own world, steady is the hand that’s always brightened our minds I keep up the rouse that I do what I do to be balanced but I know...Im never too sure if I’m losin the war or I’m winnin the battle... I’m split into two with my feet in these boots in too deep in my ideals..Ill never feel planted when roots are refusin to grow through the damage
3.
I have come to free you from the life they brought you in got you trapped inside this purgatory with no choice to end or begin. i was broken out, i was chose to win, i focused all my strength like locusts as a plague to descend upon the bogus leadership despised. smoked to a singe cuz this culture is a poisoned lie we voted in. they wear choker chains to signify theyre house broken and they stoke the embers of the fire their souls are in oh why do i try am i the only one that reads between the lines oh why do i try am i the only one that reads between the lines
4.
Ascend with proper tools, Im spending my patience in waitin to take my place in rule... I’m captivated by status pass up outdated schools...Ive longed for the day my creator paved over broken road... Wanna walk on black till I’m paid up in full I see my baggage claimed... I’m feelin my body reject the limits of gravity Transcending space and time...I leave this place behind...and with it every wound of mine will heal within the phase I’m feelin my conscience leave my body watch me fly away.... I’m seein my demons try to stop me blockin my escape You won’t get by with blind faith only
5.
There’s a crossing that I’m walkin forward to that bothers me Choices whispering like voices stopping every step I take I can feel the fear that glued me to the ground melt far away Now I choose to keep it movin let the chips fall where they may You’ve forgotten who I am, banished down below, Im reachin for the light with one the other hand wont let you go You got your hooks inside my throat, I couldn’t catch my breath, your strength bewitched the man beneath and came to claim another soul Sought to understand why I loved the pain... Head inside my hands, felt it pourin rain... Built up from the aftermath to forge a way Ill lock you up and melt the key you’ll never see the light again I’m leaving you for the tide, Let’s end these older lives, selling you out(I’m selling you out) You lift me up just to let me down (You lift me up to let me down)
6.
I left you cradling your insides... You set me face to face against mine...don’t let me fade away deep in your day to day don’t wait just pave a way for me to save the base line We breachin cycles psychotherapy... I told you once that you would marry me... It’s no surprise we circlin back to one another for comfort escapin fake lives Everything I did to you came back around to haunt me... (I kept those secrets in my head I regret) If I stammered to explain myself, you caught me in my heartbreak
7.
One night I’m inside of you, next night you change... I don’t fall in love with touch, we’re not the same... Be that as it is you mean so much to me... But you moved on just like you should’ve stayed away Sever this chain holdin us together, I know I’m to blame...I fed you my darkness and pride I never felt so ashamed. Your hands around my throat, I was powerless against your rage (but) I’ve come to put you in check and send you back from whence you came I woke up and figured this was enough Im rippin off all of my chains, give it up I know I got too much stuff, had to get it all off my plate.. I never been tough but im finna take all these punches know I won’t stay the same. We broke off and I learned that I fucked it up, next time I won’t play no games I know I could’ve stood a fucking chance
8.
I saw you in a dream.... I’m clawing through the surface to make sure that I believe...that this is what I..see.. if there’s something so perfect here am I aloud to be I break apart like the earths sphere...raining down, a fire storm cuz it’s worse here...in the clouds. in this daze for my third year...thought I drowned. Got left behind it’s my worst fear...but I was found... I’ve come to lift what’s crushin you to the ground....I’ve come to say I forgive who you are right now. I slit the throat of who you pretend to be and I watch as the coward continues to bleed out
9.
Watch you crumble, all that power tumbles to the fuckin ground... All you govern, profit from have hungered comin for you now Your bullets cannot protect.., big body counts they project... You’ve fed the meek all your scraps...teeth sunken deep in your neck There was never great enough amounts of hope to spread around, all the lies you poured in tortured victims ears have lost their sound. You brought them straight to your door, evasive tactics won’t save you from your place beneath the ground. The earth consumes all that’s left
10.
So I came with a feed loop..with everything I need to...know how Ill defeat you With a mask that was see through...you won’t even see who..came up right beneath you...glass jars where your bloods found. Encapsulated in the ground need to recoup...I was stitched to the shadows...now I’m back for a redo Standing in between you...floating over existential thought when I greet you... You see a body with the feet loose... N I’mma show you what these feet do When the angels open up the sky...I’ll flag em down so they meet you... seeing through your lies with divinity, tried and they failed to beseech you so what could we do? What becomes of the castle that you made...was it worth it in the end to see it wash away See the skeletons in your closet wave... Are you gonna satisfied knowing that your life’s been nothing but a tragic waste
11.
I better learn to save the lies...I bet I earn a safer life My letters to my favorite ties...upset I couldn’t make the flights I document the failing lines...I lost you on the trail I hiked I’m clockin in to waste some time...Ill hold a space for you when we’re aligned Well cross our paths and lock our eyes Well pick up where we left tonight
12.
This power I’m blessed with, my gift of deceit only used as a weapon I’ve connected...I’ve cured my dis ease I’m no longer infected...this person you see ain’t a victim who is helpless. I’ve got my direction...emerge from the sea like a phoenix from the wreckage. This power I’m blessed with, my gift of deceit only used as a weapon...to fend off the grip of every demon that is standing in the way between me and what I perceive as heaven I’ve connected...I’ve cured my dis ease I’m no longer infected...this person you see ain’t a victim who is helpless. I’ve got my direction...emerge from the sea like a phoenix from the wreckage.
