Balled up and beat down I know where I stand now Called out the re-route Seed took to salt ground Falter to keep crowns Past due they speak now There word I wrote down Follow then float out Let go don’t hold doubt Suit up and ship out Hold true with each pound Go till your shot down I won’t come back now Make use don’t allow Push past the how. Clouds And walk from the crowd Called our for keeps now Lost with no way out Broken. Less teeth. Clowns. Polish their speech, sound Ensure your worth, bound By numbers and rock crowds Contain the curse pursed Lip service but worse Not far from the curb, swerve Where problems occur, jerks Line up for their thirst irks It hurts, like compassion but worse Well trash gathers fast We just choke on our words We deserve what we purge Man it’s time that we learn Watch it burn Suffocating the statement No breath I move like I could make it But hopeless I'm through having to take it How they said Let make moves past basic We pretend I don’t know how I got here Or where to go Thirty paces back I thought I saw a ghost Relax, snapped back on track They say I gotta go I told you so I heard, but froze I don’t know should I laugh here? Or hold the phone? When threats nest, taking stress We're taking water folks At best don’t second guess Either you do to don’t Either your bridge or moat Sent on a frozen rope I now know why they bother And why they don’t Ten years prior, tie here Got vertigo Between lies and the liars you packed for home But you didn’t go Follow through, don’t choke Regards, reset on die here Conceptual I’m moving parts, gears make sparks Tin man credible Write it down on the flyer Keep it legible Kids susceptible We undetectable Suffocating the statement No breath I move like I could make it But hopeless I'm through having to take it How they said Let make moves past basic We pretend No loose ends

Blink twice, Set eyes Roll dice, Don’t fight Limbs lead, Brains tense So tight, Just night My breath, None left But kite till knife Wide Awake, Don’t mistake This Lie, This Rub eyes, Check dice Burnt kite, Last night Quit kid, Hide quick This fight, They bite Birthright, So fight Fuck flight, Headlights In the dust, Two sheets up Snakebite polite Outright ignite Re-write despite Excite my life Brake lights So bright I feel alright Despite the fright You have to earn The right Entice dislike Recognize define The grey The dotted line Exercise, refine It's time to say Goodbye Find the line Supply Then notify Survive Organize the time Then blame yourself Comply Take it day by day Then it turns to two Brought it back a third With a mirror for truth Fourth times the charm On the fifth broke tooth Sixth I said I’m sorry But you seem confused Misused, more like misinformed Sick blues continue To break through, torn They take you make you While you hear that horn That beckons “take two” But it’s still blood born Sink tries, Hope hides My life, In stride Hint scared, Beware What finds the light Ensnare, raised hair On neck, combined With fear so shear I’ll deal with time Think lies, Cheap ties We all, Confide Ringside seats fine Till thoughts applied Misguide, Your time Outside, Low tide Decide, Inside The frame, Provide Seaside, Seasick I’m blurry eyed Need something quick To stop the why Burn bats, Throw bricks Through windows wide It’s not your fault But step in line

The silver linings gone gray More weight They say just keep on trying Ashtray I stay the same, sway I still complain, paid It’s not the same, hey They close my airways It’s not the same space This ain’t no footrace I found the pathway Here they don’t say grace Or phrase pray, prey It’s more than just timing To more than most man I lost you at trying Headway on the highway Half baked Tipped down to the valet No way Coin fed gotta obey Spare change Gave it blocks back Otter with the smoke break Gonna chance that Putting up the poker face After all the girls always got that ace Just in case You mistake The current state How we got here in the first place Rattling the “bones” Shake They quake Looking for some ground to break Cave, Ache Looking for some meds to take Shake, Cake Looking for some plague to trade Tag, Gag Man this shit is lemonade Paint, Spray Write it on the walls and make Place, Chase Feelings you just can’t convey Blaze, Take A moment from the maze today Make, Way To progress further from decay Rephrase Knowing you just can’t explain Speech stays Torsion, tight about half way Death raised The benefit of step back take Chess game Sometimes about the moves not made Fresh phase Opposite of whats displayed Dog days Gone before it even fades Checkmate Like a lead weight Well played Bear bait Like an end date Fair trade

Rorschach 02:20
Same sickness Gotta claw my way out Lane switching Don’t know focus, breathe, drought Keep bitching Like there is no weight, pout Tag, victim Try to play the game now Cold rhythm Delay the kick bounce Own prison Contain the kids, Klaus Hold hits till the lips sieve Chose this with your wits kid Now the gates give Test limits Outta change the state, south Envision Not another way out No pitching Took the T-ball route I shout, bailout While you're running the mouth Stay pigeon I’m here then I'm oust With wisdom We build something else Hold serum Keep the Morbius out Keep it all to yourself Can’t contain the beast, doubt Tame business I ain't looking for help Claim wishes Melt the metal its smelt Move mountains when you Open your mouth Shout When the feelings are felt Getting closer to veldt Dealt new cards Well you're setting the bar Well scared fools spar You can smoke your cigars On the third card barred Like you going far I’ll be laughing Sitting caffeine Well you're lost in bazaars bizarre move bard keep on strumming guitar It's an all cash bar Hope you're ready to mar Mark moves guard Cut the fat then we charge Not a map Buy in large We just go with our hearts Cartoon flipped sprint Yeah he's at it again Road runner running roads Jumping off the deep end Speaking french, jump the fence Making friends, with the dead Second guess, bottle stress I'm a mess, just a test Casper flip stick Mullen, martyr it kid Hard to convince Right in front This is it Lay it out Just as is Doesn't matter Splatter rafters Put your all into this This is arson commit

Found her out back Bloody with the box cutter Paddy whacked, snapped Blood on tap Found fodder Till the dumpsters trashed Must have went years back Shame shamed till grasped Straw burnt till ash Can't keep my eyes open Move into an R.E.M. state Can't state the steaks often Pushing for that long pave Can't take the made spaced Moving through their tame take Skipping steps jumping frames Reel it back then Write your name Can't speak the words frozen Move into a fugue daze Prosthetic hearts pulling All the same, make the change Held it hard, hopeless Go ahead, break a leg Remain on guard Focused Play the cards off the train Make the mark, token Place the coin within the space Close them hard, open Light camera, action fades Into the dark and I mean stark Guard that bite marked heart beaten down And Stripped for parts Show your battle scars Contained we barred, broken Saddle up we join the ranks Laugh real hard hoping Follow up with torches thanks Hold your take out Drop let it feed the flame Left for days now Ashes left the to rearrange It's funny you still sound the same Found her out back Bloody with the box cutter Paddy whacked, snapped Blood on tap Found fodder Till the dumpsters trashed Must have went years back Shame shamed till grasped Straw burnt till ash Space the sparse potent Memory of why you stay Words left held hoping Bottle up they fade away Into the space, we fray With teeth, blades decay dismayed Refrain speech held on Like wait I'll write it down My mouth won't make Lay the charge, blow it Push, bang that acme take Laugh real hard, hold it Wanted for persistent pace Not a factor of when or why you think you'll break Call the bluff, guts the difference is the pain won't shake Remain on guard, notice Lights, color, simple change A common card hopeless Bare your bones and make a name Bury ghosts and sever saints Trust your host it's common place Trusts tied to body bags Held with bricks Don’t drag the lake No calling card, chosen Dial 9 then wait, leave space If the lines frozen Call back on a different day Note the times fine Apologies for the wait Please wipe your feet Then follow me Here right this way

So far the barge seems further Fall cold, not short of murder Not sure if contents turned her Slurring speech remove the burnt earth Not sure of measures, self-worth Falls short of common words heard A catalyst of rebirth Manipulate find strength and in turn Confirm, convert the blurred emerge Your third not first concur, a word Remove the taste till blank absurd I'm calling rank just know your verse My take can't trade or buy this nerd Don’t break the bank to make it work Heard money talks, must’ve been the birds Lit up the block, just to watch concerned I won't, keep watch Move past the water Till the bubbles pop I spoke, keep taught Rehearse the words Till the movement stops My ghost, you’ll spot Remove the need Till my chest gets crossed Revoke, no loss I’ll give it everything I got I’m not So scarred, please hold your worth first I'm scared to die, weren't your words You're tearing up, I'm closing shut Not a sound or touch, It's like I'm giving up Not sure of anything, nerves My mind is vacant, made worse Found just adjacent, not a common taste when Every sense is blank, spent Confirm, revert the worst I’ve heard Your first not third reroute the curve Remove the make, destroy the worth I'm calling dibs, man I got here first
My take can't train or test this curse Don’t snake the snake, just stay, observe Your bird broke beak, must’ve missed the worm Left at a loss, I’m stuck nursing burns

Calms breaks Can he store this weight Push till the break Then food for the waves Wave for the take Twenty dollar display They’re like fuck your dismay Throwing buckets away Chalk taste Can you shoulder the blame Push till it’s paste Then we're hoping it stays Stays till the wake With a collared complaint They're like no not today Stash the rest in the bank Dull days I’ve been stuck in a gray So change The routine, the space Your feeling away So change this Not feeling today Re-arrange it Scale it back, heart attack But don’t break it Short relapse Can you blame him, just fake it Almanac you knew but still played kid Shark attack While waiting in the waves shit Long face Like they took her away Short chase Like no not today I’ll take the things that I may Regardless of change Regardless of weight These things dissipate And shoulders do break And comfort goes “Hey!” It’s not bad okay At least the bones shake Decisions get made Bottle backed bad weight When substance takes shape, made Strong faith Thought it couldn't no way Crawl space In the back of my brain Explore the space Without a score to base Not a chore a case for fame or for faith The case displays The dustless shapes Kept clean away If you hide it It keeps tip Don’t show any weakness And keep this in sequence Secrets so seamless Often found speechless I need this Started back Card intact I’ll take it Marvelled at Marvels mapped Contained kid Marshall stacks On attack The frame fit Paperback Cadillac Engrave it Cracker Jack Quarterback The same shit Caddy shack Kinda laughs I hate this Maniac Went years back Go ape shit Till tasteless Third take Can't focus today Was placed in a state I can't name This place I’ve often found fake But can’t seem to shake There's nothing too late But something That weight Sedate the means make Me better first-rate Locate dedicate Mean the moves made Positions estranged A horse with a name Were kids with cocaine In some ways It's better with pain Still, plays like a loop All the same Much praise To the things They would say Damn shame We forget in a way Nowadays We're all too busy for brave Lost in the lame How we got here The same Tossed in the flag Some kind of disgrace Perspective, use pain We're all just afraid

Malaise 01:53
Indecisive, let’s get more descriptive Hit the lights, hi, my names victim Summer fights that don’t feel quite right With myself in the dead of the night Cause sleep seems new to me My rest likes truancy Contest I’m through with these It’s left until I need Bottle neck beliefs With a bucket of beats, bleed throttle till the lead Chalk it up as a test, cheat I’ll leave it on my chest till you call an MD, preach Mental manic mess Keep on watching TV, sheep Hypocrite, get vexed Till you hate what you see, leave Live with it, regret Till you hate what is me, speak Fail safe intent Fill your lung with your breath, breathe Never on the fence Till your death, this is all free Some days I just can’t see

From Ashes 04:03
Between movements made It is the constant Not frames or shapes It's on my conscience Never made display Too full of concept No, not that way You better stop quick I’ve lost my way You never got it I’ll take this space You just forgot sick Emulate the taste It's not the same, complaint You dropped the ball, refrain Careful how you speak my name Continue through, stay true Like what up north I lost myself, a shell Down by the seashore Held it in my hands Like whats this beat for Knock twice then lights There is no key for Not fond of fake I often don't partake It's hard to stay awake But I don’t sleep the same Not a friend to change I sit and dwell, deranged My fear fuels the same My motivations drained Told me twice so I wouldn’t forget Kept the dice yeah, no need to fret Kept on ice, got time for one yet Find my eyes, tying ropes 'round my neck Kept the vice beside where I slept Quick rewind, It was never neglect Call collect, quick connect Then blame, intersect Come correct, disconnect It gets better yet Between clueless takes Always a bomb threat Again I’ve lost my way No, come on stop it You said that yesterday Now wheres the progress I lost the ball the same How can I drop it Your still here no way Salt covered prophet Wash your wounds away The burns will soften Criminal exchange Straight out of pocket It seems lossless Push for profit Continue through, stay true Like what up corpse Left in disbelief Like wheres the damn door I don’t understand What am I here for? Knock me out, contained So I can “sleep” more Continue through, fall to Like I don't need doors Breaking bones till bruised And I’ll just push more I don’t trust dead hands Due to circumstance Circumvent the chance Looking for the death dance

Shake off last night Let me continue Stand up right Walk from the rearview Thought this can’t die Ashes the flame flew It feels alright Then it gives from beneath you Beseech you It bothers, it beats you Hands form to fists Don’t know what this shit is Called it coming to grips While I watched it tear rip From the fabric, I lived Hoping something would give And it did But they didn’t Held on to it like a cynic Like a victim of indifference Comically cataclysmic And it's kismet This isn’t A cry for help or forgiveness A try for tell, I'm all in this But understand it none of your business A lie to call a bluff Only when they’re throats are cut Don’t dare disrupt Violent at the sign of blood Count down from I'm giving up thought me tough It's not enough Standby and hope for trust Only when the lines are shut Don’t care. Unjust. Riot like you’ve had enough Count down, I'm losing blood I turn to luck, It's not enough Banzai and hope it busts Waiting at the sidelines rough Entrust disgust Like it's you and who you love And that should be enough Pick the pieces up Just pick the pieces up Let me catch myself Dispel the truth It’s coming through I’m telling you This ain’t brand new There's several clues Hopes removes And then they moved And took the mood Damn Then I'm at it again Same place, different stance Try to place the same hand I still don't understand Flags waved looked like hands The cloth ripped on command Blind betterment Not that's the sentiment Now get used to it Cause they move to it There's no truth to it Too much chew to it Teeth, you can find me grinding in my sleep Sleep, won’t catch me counting still black sheep Sheep, flock together hard to breathe Breathe, opposite of what we need Need. perceptive change the I to we We didn’t know then turned to tragedy No going back No hope intact Left in disbelief The first to leave A friend to me Turned to memory Olly oxen-free To shaky knees Pretend to be Like this isn't meant to be So detached from the task I remember he Approached grabbed and grasped As a matter of fact Explanation came fast Won’t forget the day past And the impact you had
