Middle of real and play
Living a dream for days
Breathing a different way
Feelin the weight of the present
Keepin my soul in pain
Alleviate without discretion
Speaking what’s in my brain
Hating the king as a peasant
Change when the power came
Everyone hate division
Before they can hold the chains
Everyone say money the root before
They feed
Connection to the evil granted cause it started in the seed
.
Elevate
Why god don’t make me the centerpage model
Worked too hard through Methylphenidate bottles
To wind up lost in the shuffle, this muzzle don’t fit, I’m a rip it off
All the worlds bullshit, Ships sink, better see em off,
Neptune, these seas are rough
It don’t pay to true, it just pays to not try to get involved
I swear I can see it
Callouses thicken through every season
Dove in the deep end to freeze and washed up on the beach, paddle out a behemoth
Inside me ain’t sleepin till gettin up, need it
Breathe it
Its in my blood, heart beats it, been burned like a Phoenix, top of the worlds my seat
Ego feeding, won’t pledge allegiance, metallurgy
Midas touch the sound I’m working, Alchemist in person, did the verses, hooks, production learned the Instruments and missed em,
Fuck the sex appeal, fuck the fame, fuck the dream all I wanted was what I needed
I was 15, lookin for someone with hope in the world and impressing the message
There’s life to live and shit to give and love to have and when you fail, get back up
Chase the tail of dragons all you want but nobody up extending a hand out
Hold yourself the tides are comin
Light is fadin breathe deep the skies are fallin
Change the subject
Nobody gave a fuck back then
So why the hell would they give a fuck now
Change

Space room queen
Mantis with the sun punch
We drift through scenes
Shook me like a stun gun
Took Shrooms on the beach
Ocean waved me off it
Calypso beats out the trunks from the island
Ripe with disease
Doubt that you want me
I talk to the trees
Vices hold me down in the
Pits of the flesh
Teacher of chaos
Gold apple on the desk
Mainstream resets
.
Mad as a hat
I try to relax
I saw the world
Through the future and past
I’m takin a breath
I step above
Takin a breath
I need to relax
Takin a breath
I saw the world
Mad as a hat
I saw the world
Future and past
Takin a breath
Takin a breath
Takin a
.
Ate it up galactus past tense
Eat it up presently it’s plastic
Fantastic I been insane
It’s tragic, soul been exchanged
.
It’s all so beautiful now
Sorted in and out
Fill my heart with
Confusion?
And
Anger
And losing
Everything
I’m used to
The usual
I’m sick of it all
Throw it out
It’s crucial
To be you
.
The great wide world sleeps beneath the ether
The Eastern sky is a blaze is a torch and a guide
Been awake for a while Plantlife been a teacher
The western winds blowin in tryna take me high
Sing away light man
You can touch the sun
Free wings for everyone,
Show em how it’s done
Singin light man,
you’re the guy
Who will teach them how to fly
.
Dreamed like this
Schemed Like this
Divine touch come and Leave right quick
wrote it, my worst opponent me
getting a feel like this
Quiet confused and silent
Make my way through the day
Tongue bitin
Pave the path, don’t count mileage
Laid in the grass finding some bugs
They’re my Best friends smiling
Up
I confide in smaller worlds that nobody else loves
.
Perfect in your
Skin I’ma let you in
Here’s a Rosetta stone
Translate this
Cause with the masses
Never on the same page
Let alone the same book
Not tryna save face
Just takin it back from the crooks
Arya
Tired of bullshit fullshit
Culminate in being fake 360 degrees
Punch through time and space
420 degrees higher up than leaves in a breeze
Stop please
.
Not empty
Though material tempt me
I been conquering envy
Shunnin light in a frenzy
Abused some pills and drank heavy
White lines on this highway
Corner yellin, god Saving
Not much left worth saving but there’s
Some left I think I pray I may have
.
Miserable and sick
I must attend
And be attentive
And be okay
While pretending
To be well
I’m not in this
I can hardly wait
To be depressed and
Lie awake in bed
Gimmie a reason to live
Savin what’s left of myself at the
Moment so
When someone needs it I have some left to give
Trapped in a cage of my own devices
Dangling keys in my face like a baby
They seem free from that side of the ledge
But it’s faking, I promise
Fake world made em crazy
Schizo is camo
Narcissism just self-preservation
Branding determines the clique that I roll with
What I consume define my characteristics
Mental imprisonment
Held me down, I’m in the ditch,
Jaws of life need extracation
Gave up thoughts of being rich
Stuck in the mud at the station
Floods taking numbers off wrists
Crypto my mind has been minted
Etched on a stone, not a disk
Drive my civic off a cliff
.
Eyes glass stay affixed to the ground
Disappear, with my face in a shroud, brain in a cloud
Swim through a crowd unnoticed
Unremarkable, featureless
Bleed love through my circle like a ritual
calls unheard and the prayers unheeded
I’m cold walk alone barren earth unseeded
Try to
Stand it, but the shore stays eroded where my feet is
Elevate my status from blocked to deleted
Cursed as a fetus
Cursed and allegiant to the dirt, lost my flock at birth
Alone traveling acres, never blessed, never sacred
Hometown hated, Heaven sent a message by an act on burned paper
Watch my goals vaporize
Watch my life turn to vapor
Watch my wounds cauterize
I wish I was the me that lives in my mothers eyes
To every broken heart I made, truly apologize
To every dream I never realized, I’m beginning to do some redefining
Searching for something special, guess there was no need to find it
Fires inside me, been Dullin my shine by tryna fight it
To my friends and my family around me
Don’t think that your support will go unrewarded in the slightest
Cause you made me do something astounding
All this weight still climbin up the mountain
I’ll hit the peak someday where I’m found with
Treasure from dragon I caught using these soundwaves
.
I won’t let you go
Shoulda flown out to the city shoulda known
You carried that pack
Talking bout substance
Talking bout jazz
Everything’s corny and
Arts world a drag
Face on t-shirt
Like Memorabilia
Still on the bleachers
Tryna tag in the field though
Live and love by creed
Do what you will
Even if the shit kills ya
Been givin my soul to the music
Over ten years since I first recorded
Swear I would get somewhere with it
But if I didn’t then it’s not too important
My role is sparking things
That’s where the zippo in the pseudonym comes from
Try to put forth energy
Cause if they heard you, the mission succeeds
.
In this flower ship
I’ve traveling through space and time
Sky jellyfish,
A mirror into what’s in my life
Over land and sea
I see everything
.
Plan for nothing
Introduce catastrophe
I'm onto something
At least I better be
I love the ugliest
Parts of society
I shun the quo
And that makes me a better me
I’ll make my own waves to surf on
Own ways to bend rules
Feels like cloud nine
Sippin on jet fuel
Thought this shit was cornball
So what? I did it anyway
I do what makes me happy
There’s nothin more that I gotta say
Nothin can bring me down forever
Cause I’m gonna get back up
When I’m knocked down I know that it gets better
I’m gonna keep my head up
Praying for sunny weather
Won’t break if it never comes
I’m playin by my game, baby
That’s why this life is fun
How can life flash by like that
How can imagination die like that
How can it feel like the end then bounce back
To the beginning of the story, new chapter,
New data
Open my eyes at the sky it looks back
Spread my wings and I find a flight path
King of my domain I design the right track
Inspired for the sake of inspiring right back
Nothin can bring me down forever
Cause I’m gonna get back up
When I’m knocked down I know that it gets better
I’m gonna keep my head up
Praying for sunny weather
Won’t break if it never comes
I’m playin by my game, baby
That’s why this life is fun
