I'm feeling sick No I don't need your therapy I just want my medicine What I lack in common sense I make up for in arrogance Liquid courage, lose my filter Burn every bridge to the fucking ground and wonder why I feel so alone All on my own The size of the house doesn't mean a damn thing if it don't feel like home I never seem to be ahead of myself Take a step forward and a hundred motherfucking steps back Progression with no consistency Scattered patterns of self destruction Leaving me in a state of complacency I'm feeling sick No I don't need your therapy I just want my medicine New day same excuse To drown my sorrows in a bottle Convince myself to save my problems for tomorrow Dig my own grave I just want to drown in the poison Drink to forget, but never forget to make me Comfortably numb Yeahhhhhhhh Bury me before the sun returns

Ducking from the cops until the sun down They’ll leave you dead in the street when they run down When they pulling up on me I gotta run now Because them crooked ass cops can’t put that gun down Put that gun down put that gun down Tell them crooked ass cops to put that gun down I’m still alive and I’m living free All the crooked cops wear ACG’s If I run and hide they can’t see me Those crooked cops ain’t catching me If I stand still my problems walk You a crooked cop ain’t no need to talk I remain silent I know the law Those crooked cops outline in chalk Now Whoop whoop that’s the sound of police Whoop Whoop that’s the sound of the beast Cuffs on his hip and my brains in the street Ain’t no love for a nigga and the shit won’t cease Whoop whoop man the police coming Whoop whoop man the police coming I’m a unarmed nigga and I ain’t did nothing But the feds keep coming so ima keep on running. I command youuuu to MOVE

The echoes of my mind a pendulum drowning through the time As the Black Vortex creeps up and strangles my cortex I’m hopeless against the silent sea The Ravenous World eating away at my sanity As the damages of broken dreams pierce the seams of lucidity And ravages the memories that were left to me The happy scenes of friends and family Are now replaced by the haze called Apathy Stasis in aeternum is the fate that awaits those Who face up against the terrifying power of Chronos The Old Ghost stole a host of warm notes To post a corpse of cold tones a stone soul So no more will I mourn The worn bones that disappear Like stories told of yester-year All the gold tomes which hold the wisdom Make it clear that all the tears born from tears Wear and erode the tableau Leaving thoughts in the cold Ending all that we know Ending all that we Entropy End of me Entropy End of me

Tired of sitting on this couch Tired of getting high Tired of excessive alcohol As my blood gets thicker Acid bubbles in my brain My putrid liver decomposing Toxic worms in my guts Tripping on cocaine I ate it because my nose is clogged And every time I swallow I can taste the blood I can taste the fucking blood I need a rope My demons talk I obey I need a blade My demons talk I obey Sacrifice my life My demons talk, I OBEY Grasping my heart, horrendous agony Drugged in thoughts, sickening profanity I take a deep breath, in my lungs turning grey Enjoying the stench of my own decay
5.
Pleasure over purpose only works for one night I like it better when it's mindless and my touch is out of spite I can smell you on my breath I can feel you against my skin I am doctrine of swine I am filth and I am sin Don Juan fucking say my name When all my values circle the drain Cause the worst part of pleasure is the best part of pain You can't quit when you love the game Late night libido dignity or desire A fortress of lust is an evil empire Pick me from the table take the apple from my mouth Beggars can't be choosers and it all starts heading south Pig you fucking Pig you fucking Pig you fucking Ugh Pig you fucking Pig you fucking Pig you fucking pig Oink oink

Found black holes in my eyes So my hands shield it from the light Retina's dark matter inside Bless me with your absence Bleed my boredom and all that gleams Until I rest in dreamless sleep Like the man near the bodhi tree Dark- fill me with enlightenment With two wicks and two flames alight I'd fan the flames that keep me alive My impatience is wearing thin To exist is to suffer and void is the end In time, you'll find A death of morality In time, you'll find Your benzodiazepine

Kill for a fresh start Die for a better end Dig up some more, to find what you can lend Someday I'll be as brave as I say Maybe it's you, or maybe it's him Nobody's voice telling me things Don't ever show this to your friends Baby you're not gonna stay Until the end Lie to me Lie to me Tell me that it's alright Like you're apart of me Apart of me There is no end in sight So just lie to me Lie to me I don't know who this is for I'm nothing but an art whore I want you to stay, but I don't know anymore Lie to me Lie to me Tell me that it's alright Like you're apart of me Apart of me There is no end in sight Lie to me Lie to me Lie to me Tell me that it's alright Like you're apart of me Apart of me There is no end in sight Lie to me

I want to wake up in the morning with the sun in the window Eye shut cuz I’m taking it in slow Open up, long day ahead of me Making my way to the shade of a maple tree R&R, ain’t even going far In the right space, I’ma feel like a star Ok, teeth brushed, my hair cleaned up Text “can we kick it,” “you know that I’m with it” Who do you think of What do you want with You on the brink of Why don’t you own it I’m passionate, stop passing it Starts from within, lemme say it again Who do you think of What do you want with You on the brink of Why don’t you own it How you gonna win when you ain’t right within Lying is a sin, you’re a 10 outta 10 My inner voicing A product of my Environment (You hate to see it, I won’t believe it) My disappointment Deriving from a Habit framed (I’m breaking for my sake, need to re-hydrate) Not again Who do you think of What do you want with You on the brink of Why don’t you own it I’m passionate, stop passing it Starts from within, lemme say it again Who do you think of What do you want with You on the brink of Why don’t you own it How you gonna win when you ain’t right within Lying is a sin, you’re a 10 outta 10 I wanna to go to bed at night with my head on my pillow Eyes shut with a smile on my face though So spent, with a sense of necessity Wouldn’t let the hurdles of the day get the best of me C&D to the negativity It’s a nice place, right here where we be Ok, last text, tell em “you da bes” We all get the blessings, it’s a group message

There was A PLACE IN TIME when we knew this Was all we ever wanted as we STAND WITH STRANGERS Screaming out our angst CHASING THE SUMMER We see THE UPSIDES LOST in THOUGHT again In a dream that could shake A THOUSAND VILLAGES A LOVE LETTER ALIBI to put our all in this We won’t let this go it’s everything we’ve ever known We won’t cut this out, it’s all we dream about If there’s a way We’ll find a way It’s not EVERYONE here FOR THEMSELVES it’s all about Learning some TRUE LESSONS (Anytime they’re mentioned) Striving to be better (Avoid YOUR OWN DISASTERS) We’ll take some sideroads to our SIDESHOW CINEMA That SPARKS an INFERNO of hope and joy Like a PYRO from OHIO We won’t let this go it’s everything we’ve ever known We won’t cut this out, it’s all we dream about If there’s a way We’ll find a way A promise to ourselves, FROM UNDER ORION’s belt That we’ll always push to see the full extent of this dream The stories told we hold create our own HUMBLE ABODE Don’t be scared to look back Don’t be scared to look back Our past is what has made us this future to be proud of We won’t let this go it’s everything we’ve ever known We won’t cut this out, it’s all we dream about If there’s a way We’ll find a way

Standing around, I’m paralyzed Pressure’s wrecking me inside At everything I do I always have to be the best I don’t know how I got like this, but now it’s making me stressed If I miss a single step, that’s it; I fucking lose If my work doesn’t measure up, my life’s forever ruined Standing around, I’m paralyzed Pressure’s wrecking me inside Fixated on other people to see how I compare They look so ahead of me, and I know I shouldn’t care My competitive streak has me shackled to the grind Perfectionism’s driving me out of my mind Standing around, I’m paralyzed Pressure’s wrecking me inside And I know that I’m not merely slow Got held back in ways out of my control But I don’t know what the way forward is And I need to find some clarity with this Too many choices for the future; I don’t know which to pick Can’t choose a single direction; the prospect makes me sick Expecting every option to give me everything Can’t tell what I want for myself and what I want just to get ahead Standing around, trying to decide Before opportunities pass me by

I can hardly stretch my legs without hitting a wall now another president who knows nothing at all Howling cheap and sedated with the House of Representatives Passing around that girl's bra One step for man, one step for all I steal steal steal Steal steal steal I steal cause it should've been on sale And they were nice enough to give us two per state Now its funny enough to see us segregate Can't trust the TV squire or anyone's throat under the wire Running out of time for a trial USA going up in fire I steal steal steal Steal steal steal I steal cause it should've been on sale

My boyfriend says I'm being too sensitive Girl why the hell are you putting up with it? Calm down its ironic, its a bit But its not funny and I've had e-fucking-nough of it We're not amused, tired and abused Your casual misogyny can not be excused Pinned to the floor, sickened deep to the core Get some solidarity and kick these fuckers to the door Dropping out is not the answer fucking up is We're not gonna take anymore of your shit I'm proud to be SCUM: Back the fuck off man I'll cut you up My friends say some pretty sexist shit And honestly I'm kinda bothered by it What? No, I've never spoken up against them But I'm saying something to you because it feels like you're generalizing men Your ego is bruised, you've been rightly accused Your casual misogyny can not be excused Pinned to the floor, I can't take anymore Get some solidarity and kick these fuckers to the door Dropping out is not the answer fucking up is We're not gonna take anymore of your shit I'm proud to be SCUM: Back the fuck off man I'll cut you up Stupid girl what more rights could you need? It's all over there's more patriarchy As far as I'm concerned you already have equality But excuse me sir what exactly does that mean? On what planet are we actually free? We don't want to hear your thoughts on what we need You don't have our experience it's not your place to disagree We don't want your brand of false equality We wan't liberation baby!

Room- Virtua 02:30
Would you say you're fine Not taking the seventh high Memento second life So call me back One or two or a couple times And don't forget to stand up right And don't go home tomorrow Don't forget your drome Don't forget the colored lights

Control of a nefarious kind Sucking your soul and killing your mind Robbing you of your only life If only we had known Destruction of the human race Mutually assured, total demise Millions people and no one survived If only we had tried Faced melted Bombs dropping Ripping, tearing mangled bodies
