I notice the seasons changing
I don't want my life to be a waste
Adrenaline surging
Doctor, we've got an emergency
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Someone put a battery inside of my back
Anxiety had sent me a heartfelt letter and I didn't write back
I got better things to do
than to be playing 'round with you
When I get untied, I'll bend these bars
And be out of sight & out of mind
Well, I'm out of mine
Tell me how much you like it when I'm acting unkind
Doing things out of spite
You didn't even put up a fight
I'll be out of sight and out of mind. I'm out of mine
I'm over the pity and heart & all of the shame attached
I guess that I'm hitting a swerve. I'm off of that lane at last
I need me a fortune. I was a kid: they told me don't break the glass
I didn't believe in bad luck. I made a mistake with that
Sunken Place, I had to exit.
I am feeling like Kanye; had to Runaway from the depression
You can call me "Your Highness." Another name is disrespectful
What a way to be respected. What a day to be respected
Someone put a battery inside of my back
Anxiety had sent me a heartfelt letter and I didn't write back
I got better things to do
than to be playing 'round with you
When I get untied, I'll bend these bars
And be out of sight & out of mind
Well, I'm out of mine
Tell me how much you like it when I'm acting unkind
Doing things out of spite
You didn't even put up a fight
I'll be out of sight and out of mind. I'm out of mine
Breathe, breathe, breathe

friends & lovers

Were you mind for me?
Were you mind for me?
Were you mind for me?
We waste all of our time
Inebriated, celebrating
nothing at all. I love it: we’re sprawled
out on this bed. Eyes rolled back in our heads
It’s almost as if we’re dead
But, I’ve never felt so alive
This is like no other
I won’t find another
The way you give me comfort
We’re best friends & lovers
This is like no other
We’re best friends & lovers
Fall asleep on your chest. It’s hard for me to get rest
That separation-anxiety. When you’re gone, it leaves me depressed
I done lost me a lot, but you’re a part of me until death
Even after we die together, in the stars we will connect
You saved my life when I was spiraling to some abyss
A Rising Sagittarius; the Higher Me you summoned with
powers that I can’t define. I was surrounded by those clamping vines
You saw a flower that was damned and dying
Sprinkled Holy Water on it so it’s sprout and rise
A pantomime. How could I descant the signs?
I’ll scream aloud that I do fantasize about us by the candle-light
I drown inside your damaged irises
This is like no other
I won’t find another
The way you give me comfort
We’re best friends & lovers
This is like no other
We’re best friends & lovers
Were you mind for me?
Were you mind for me?
Were you mind for me?

I am a ghoul inside of a tomb
But shine like a ruby; not hiding my jewels
I don’t make waves. It’s like a monsoon
Pardon my attitude. I got a heart full of gratitude
But, I can’t help but to flex on niggas, so
How mad are you? How mad are you? How mad are you?
They don’t take me loosely with the loose-leaf
I’m in shape, but slightly obtuse and still alive through the bruises
Far away, far away
I imagine what they’ll say
How could you ghost me?
I’m done with the phonies
I’d rather get lost
No matter the cost
I bought a one-way ticket to Paradise
Swimming in neon-lights. I’m gone
I think I’ll go to Tokyo
I think I’ll go to Tokyo
I think I’ll go to Tokyo
I might take a trip to Japan out the blue to catch me a vibe
Kimono Draggin’ behind me when I’m out. Some call me Senpai.
U.S.A ain’t doing great. No wonder we just said bye
Flying through is much better than making sure that you can get by
Two Testarossas; black and red. I want them both like I went Bi
Get a massive ring for my middle-finger to say “fuck you” when it shines
I want the finer things. All of my life I dreamed to be iconic
I looked in every pane of glass, then I realized it’s me
Konnichiwa, Konnichiwa, I’m back
I’m never sleepy, though; more insomniac
I’m on my Ichigo Kurisaki, ya
Heartbeat is gold, but even so: I got a hollow half
Yeah
Yeah, I’m on my way to Tokyo
I’m on my way to Tokyo
I’m on my way to Tokyo
Don’t miss me when I go, I go
Cause I don’t know you no more
I’m on my way to Tokyo. Ooo
I’m on my way to Tokyo. Ooo
I’d rather get lost
No matter the cost
I bought a one-way ticket to Paradise
Swimming in neon-lights. I’m gone
I need a vacation. Light-speed’s how I’m racin
I’ve seen a few places, but this might be where I’m stayin
Nothing is new. I want to refresh. I did not tell my family yet
Pushing that button to reset. Done with the fuckery we let
happen too often. It be getting me mad how we’ve fallen
If we’re the “Land of the Free”, then why are we trapped in these bars then?
Cause things are getting old
Need to heal my soul. Need to feel the glow
It’s been dark a lot. Why am I in this zone?
Oh no, I can’t be here for long
This rollercoaster-ride that I am here upon
Is ‘bout to take me to that place. Hope it don’t steer me wrong
Konnichiwa, Konnichiwa, I’m back
I’m never sleepy, though; more insomniac
I’m on my Ichigo Kurisaki, ya
Heartbeat is gold, but even so: I got a hollow half
Yeah
Yeah, I’m on my way to Tokyo
I’m on my way to Tokyo
I’m on my way to Tokyo
Don’t miss me when I go, I go
Cause I don’t know you no more
I’m on my way to Tokyo. Ooo
I’m on my way to Tokyo. Ooo
I’d rather get lost
No matter the cost
I bought a one-way ticket to Paradise
Swimming in neon-lights. I’m gone
I’m on my way to Tokyo
I’m on my way to Tokyo

delirium

Crazy
I’m crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I’m delirious
Seeing you float
Chasing you throughout this garden of ghosts
Please, don’t go
I’ll pour my meds down the drain
to hallucinate
Hold you so close that the tears on my face
Soak in your shirt before you fade away
Crazy
I’m crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue

heroine

I’m falling
I’m falling again
It’s the Dope Show that I’m starring in
Oh no, not again
Battle-tested, but it’s hard to win
Broke the stitches upon my skin
I lost
Too much of a cost
Not much that I spend
Courtesy of my friends
It’s my fault
Habits, behavior-patterns. I had to sustain some balance
It actually made me crash and go back to the same disastrous
Things that I promised in the past would remain in caskets
What a revival. I grabbed a shovel and dug up the bodies
Under the piles of dirt. They lay in the attic
I hid them more than the truth of this chain-reaction
I look you in the face and wrap it. But, just know that I’ll dangle backwards
I’m straight embarrassed & strangled by shame and half of it’s
I’m isolated. Tryna’ stay in
Touch with my family-tree
I lie awake and
Lie to fake that I’m happy
Chain-smoke until the day’s over
Pray no one knows I ain’t sober
Tryna’ work with a faint motor
I’ve been hurt and ashamed. Closer
to my loved-ones I want to be. I’ve been stuck in this dungeon
With monsters that keep me company
Momma, why would you run from me
Now I sleep with your ashes inside my pillow
Right under these ugly dreams. I could fuckin’ scream
I’m a fiend for disaster because it seems nothing keeps
Sadness from touching me. I relapse when the love is bleak
I collapse and pick up the phone just to have my Grandmother speak
Only that is the drug I seek
But, this hero’s lacking his heroine
A bag full of heroin is so bad a comparison
I need you now more than ever
I’m isolated. Tryna’ stay in
Touch with my family-tree
I lie awake and
Lie to fake that I’m happy
I’m falling
I’m falling

endless solitude
04:28
|

This solitude is my home
It’s calling you, but say no
I’m used to this. I’m not losing it
I’m a fool for thinking I’ve grown
Yeah
There’s a snake inside my psyche doing circles
Scared that maybe I’m just lying and the world knows
Who I am, where I stand
I’m a child, not a man, so alone
I wanna’ die in my sleep at night
So I can see you when I’m ‘bout to take flight
I think the frequency is breakin
Need to reconnect because I’m on another wavelength
I wanna’ die in my sleep at night
Just so I can see what it’s like
Just to feel what you felt. I can’t heal from the guilt
I think the frequency is breakin’. I’m on another wavelength
Am I glitching out? I just sit and pout
What should I do
So, I tear through the wall to the realm that you are
I see your holographic body there, I’m in awe
But, that’s what I want. You say to fight ‘til I’ve had me enough
That I’m too young; that I should keep living on ‘til I am what I haven’t become
That I won’t be successful until I can kick these bad habits with drugs
That I won’t feel any bliss or healing from it when I’m practically numb
You never got to see me sober, and now the honesty is over
It’ll take a lot for me to hold up. It was a robbery from God
He freed you. Shockingly, it’s not what he had told us
It’s probably what got to me the most that I can’t stop the bleeding
Coppin’ pleas for all the things I owe ya
There’s a snake inside my psyche doing circles
Scared that maybe I might lie up in that dirt-hole
Who I am, where I stand
I’m a child, not a man, so alone
I wanna’ die in my sleep at night
So I can see you when I’m ‘bout to take flight
I think the frequency is breakin
Need to reconnect because I’m on another wavelength
I wanna’ die in my sleep at night
Just so I can see what it’s like
Just to feel what you felt. I can’t heal from the guilt
I think the frequency is breakin’. I’m on another wavelength
So alone
Yeah
Yeah
I wanna’ die in my sleep at night
If you ain’t allowed to live, then why the fuck should I
I think the frequency is breakin
I’ma leave the Earth so we can get back into sync then
You’re an apparition. Imagined figment
I hated when our contact was distant
but now I’m here. I’m not trapped.
My fear is all black. It’s voided
Mad enjoyment from the isolation
You and I until the pact is different
When you say to go back, the tears’ll fall
That’s the river I’ll have to swim in
The lady you sent for protection’s reflective of you and I grab the image
Hold her close just to have a semblance
of the motherly love I had as a kid, and I know
My Artificial Angel
I’m dead with you forever
