"I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused"

"These are the places that I cant feel
Torn from my body my flesh it peels
During this ride we can cut of what we like
Waiting alone I can not resist
Feeling this hate I have never missed
Please someone give me a reason to kill off my face"

"It's like I'm
Paranoid looking over my back
It's like a
Whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I cant stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin."

"The memories I keep are from a time like then
I put them on paper so I can come back to them
Some day I'm hoping to close my eyes and pretend
That this crumbled up paper can be perfect again."

"I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
[You'll see its not meant for me]
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head"

"I firebomb, ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats, but moved onto a promise
I stomp shit, with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this.

Sing song karaoke copy bullshit
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes while the track stands at attention
Meant to put you away with the pencil, pistol,
Official, sixteen line, the rhyme missile
While you risk it all, I pick out all your flaws
Spittin' rah, blah, rah blah, you can say you saw."
