…were frozen
Penniless and entirely out of breath
I washed my beautiful hands in the black market dog water trough…
…that never came true
Apparitions of angels with angry eyes
Appeared at each new moon
My own ghost be gain whispering
Trees died if I…
…be measured.
I know a man who was born with his heart on the outside
Every mans worst fear he also had heavy hands
He couldn't touch…

…it under the bed. I'll take it out when I need it
With my state of mind, it shouldn't be long before I use it
Sure enough, within…

That's where I decided that I'd meet up with death
I got to my destination after walking a couple of…

Even though I feel like killing myself any of these days
Why am I even doing this? Nobody is going to hear it anyway
Beacuse…

…if I'm not, the shit that gets me excited is all very moody and unstable. That's some shit that I don't even see changing. Like, I can't make that good of…
…convinced myself that home wasn't real, that it was a figment of my imagination – that I was going to die there.
Because as far as I…
…was concerned, I was like, "What the fuck can you show me of home?" When I closed my eyes and opened them, all I see…

…waking hours, I see only an outline that swells and shifts with the wavering shadows and leaves. Masked by branches, it appears in a shade of…

Is it sitting in the waiting room
trying not to fall asleep and
wondering if I do will you

Is it starless skies in late November?
Is it silence, sadness, sour surrender?
Thinking of that night I dug myself
this bulletproof hole…
…? Is it madness?
Or something else entirely?
Am I depressed? Is it madness?
Or something else entirely?
Is it lipstick? Is it chapstick?
Or something else?…

Flashbacks, of another life
When I close my eyes, lying in bed at night
I'm having flashbacks, of a better place
Where I can see…

You know, recently man..
I hit the lowest point of my fuckin' life
I became consumed entirely, and went completely fuckin…
…are correct though, I am completely self destructive
And I'm sorry, it'd never happen again
My minds gone for that span of time, dont know…

The tat of your names on the ribs on my side
So to know i'll keep you close to my heart, that fills me with pride
And I…

Flushed and destroyed, damning it all with her deadly neurotoxin

She needs my help
I need my pills
There's no way else

We wake her up
We put her first
We see her through, make sure it works, she…

…with their hidden fears
And do the only souls I can breed
Show me the key of what I am vowed to be
Who will know what I have to see?
What you…

And do the only souls I can breed
Show me the key of what I am vowed…
…silk and velvet tense
The candle's keeper awaits me there
All these lights for all these lives
They took my fate, erase my past
Who is this strange icon I see
Behind the veil of tragedy?…

…[verse 1: awake]
My life is what I said it is
Asleep like sedatives
So gone within the mentions list
Spit so venomous…
Not resting till I ball
I fall into a mental fritz
Or all my friends find happiness
You weren't who I thought you were
Tales of…
Was killing me entirely
Through space and lines
You are my piece of mind
Within my dreams I find
That spark of light within your eyes…

…instead of the words that I let fade. And I have a problem with faith. You, of all people, would know that best. But I've come to see my…
…mistakes. My heart beats for you inside my chest. Who could have guessed that I can't forget your voice? Even if I had…
…seeing. There's a corner in my head that I backed myself into: always wanting more. I'm a mess, and I see through all the trivialities. Every night I fall asleep questioning reality…

…tryna one up myself everyday
This real nigga shit you know I don't play
Stayin up late Ghiddie still gotta pray
Close your ear…
In a Lonely Cypher everyday
Shout out my homie you there when i fade
I love my homie and that's it
Close my inner circle, complete
Conquer my city…
…me feed me
I'm saucin the ball yeah shimmy shimmy
Close my eyes grab something fishy fishy
Geekin off this liquor huh

I am inside of you
Jeez, what was that
I feel fine

…know my grandma and some friends are going so...
I mean, you can go with them.
I can look after myself.
No you can't.
They're oold ! And I…

If you remove it now, you might do some serious damage to my friends eyes and ears.
That is why I too am wearing my playground…

…the Woodman while he worked, and said to him:
"I cannot think why this wall is here, nor what it is made of."
"Rest your brains…
…not?"
"Because," answered the Princess, also stopping, a safe distance away, "if I run I may fall down and break myself…
…breaking a cow's leg and a church. They are all so brittle!"
"They are, indeed," said the Scarecrow, "and I am thankful I am made of straw and cannot be easily damaged. There are worse things in the world than being a Scarecrow."…
