about

This is a song about the strength of words and how as i've grown they've come to be a prominent part of me. You have to be careful, when you say something, it's forever.

lyrics

Hiphop beat 19
I move slow in a trance through the darkness stuck in a dance with
the bones of the heartless they don't know I exist
I don't know how to live
glued to hollow bliss
through a pair of cold lips
I don't know how to part from this let alone how I started it
up in my apartment
the pen met parchment purposely
so the tip wouldn't stick
only ink perfectly
fill the script nourish me
I need this doctor don't you see flick your wrist, hurry please pass another match stick
till the gas can catch it
so close to home
yet I feel so cold
like I felt that in my marrow
dealt another narrow
minded moron with a plan scripted upon his hand
like he won't sweat it off
or smear it when he coughs
don't sweat it kid
i've met a lot of dim wits
who think a spark of inspiration should be considered a gift
and that it'll last longer
than it was ever meant to live
if they try to take it back
realizing their mistake
then just make a fist and
pray they wall don't make it break cause they get stronger and faster every second that you wait
and they spit a fresher flow
then you could ever think to make with a pen that fell upon them
at the dawn of the horizon
with that feather in my grip
and I will never quit rhyming
moving through the groove
like I knew it through and through booming through you
like I knew you too
and everything you love
i'm in everything you touch
I move slow in a trance through the darkness stuck in a dance with
the bones of the heartless they don't know I exist
I don't know how to live
glued to hollow bliss
through a pair of cold lips
I don't know how to part from this let alone how I started it
up in my apartment
the pen met parchment purposely
so the tip wouldn't stick only ink perfectly
fill the script nourish me
don't you hear me screaming or does no one open ears now I hear you scheming
against me with fears now
I know you're shy and quiet but your talk appears loud never been compliant
but fuck it i'll cheers now (x2)
...here's how
raise a hand
drop your glass
cover your mouth
and hold your shit hole closed till the death of your fucking rap sick of ignorant crap
misleading what people think about my own different thing
it's a whole new kind of ring you don't box near me
the truth is I fear belief faith and trust
another tear drips
but it falls like dust i'm not the only one
to feel so crushed
it's everyone it's everything
it's them it's us
but I only tremble
in a room with you
I can spit into this booth
like who the hell knew
this kid held anything more than a snooze button pressed in
even my closest friends never could have guessed it
and most of them now
still can't attest it
how could they chest it
when they don't have the heart to turn and face themselves most of them yearn
for an easier hell
unable to tell
still when the sky fell
choking in an exhaust ridden cloud with no help
only your god
knows what I felt
and I can only imagine
all you were dealt
I can only imagine
we move slow
while the world moves fast chasing a future
overcome by a past
that has long been cast
to the buried shadows that we never look back at scratched till the last bit
of nail broke off, so lost and I fear what we gained will never be worth all
the pain that it caused
and all the better parts
of us, the journey cost
and all the better parts
of us the journey cost
burn that note
that's all that's it
all she wrote
while the candle stayed lit lucky I don't need even a a bit of light to spit actually I prefer it
though i've been polite since you stepped in
and flipped the light switch i've remained calm
forced to face the storm
and the wreckage left behind from how far i've gone
I hated who I was
but now I stand afraid
of what i've become
a monster to some
a monster so young
just another boy
or a man with a gun
used to be a toy
but those games are done
these bullets are real
and they hit you with the decibels
these bullets are real
and they hit you with the decibels
these bullets are real and they hit you with decibels decibels
