about

This is a highly emotional track that was created in a time of intense hardship.

lyrics

Verse 1
I get so sick of writing this shit with my pen
Expressing what’s within although they never comprehend
The longer that I live it just extends my many sins
So burn my blackest shattered ashes scatter in the wind
I’ve always been a quiet guy not materialistic
Walk my own path and follow my intuition
Suffered trials under the darkest clouds just to be different
But the pain keeps changing me plain out of recognition
People fake smile when rain’s coming down they missing
And true colors get shown when your thrown in a cold position
It takes hellava strain to maintain and stay sane
Think I’ve figured the puzzle the pieces just rearrange
The hardest thing’s just feeling that all of this shit’s in vain
Why should it matter whats your lane
When the destination’s the same?
Can’t shake the mental frame that existence is just a vicious game
Why you think people snorting ‘caine
Ignoring destroying they brain?
Avoiding all the rhetoric that’s embedded with lies
It’s wise to peep the signs when the beast is under disguise
Mothafuckas rep the streets and reap the complete demise
Til you open your eyes you sleep in defeat where the sheep reside
Leaking lethal people arise
Premonitions of blind carnage
Dissect the defection of mind where all the crime started
The best have laid down their lives
And in their primes martyred
Only to leave behind the design by which the swine slaughtered
Gluttony and greed exceeds the needs of the mistreated
Who’s to blame fighting for change history keeps repeating
Every day a child’s raping or tapings of savage beatings
Feeling forsaken letting frustration take place of reason
Generation’s disintegrating the hatred is bleeding us dry
Question why you denied and vilified for treason
How many have strived and died to actualize cohesion
And yet we remain in a season where killing defines the region

Chorus x4
It seems wherever I go
The shadows always follow
Will I be freed from the pain and the sorrow tomorrow?

Verse 2

Making excuses from years of abuses would be useless
But I can’t deny that the memories inside a nuisance
Being victim’s a symptom of living in society
But why do the ones I love seem to see the need to lie to me?
It’s difficult to view the truth looking through frames that’s tinted
These words are lessons expressions of pain I ain’t invent it
Can’t ascend til I’m free within I ain’t ashamed to admit it
Half of my brain’s sane the other vein’s deranged and demented
I still remember the day laying displayed in the clinic
Never fade away til I’ve strayed til I’m saved til I’m finished
TIl I’m diminished to my grave and I’m raised and replenished
Til my heart’s intention is properly portrayed in this sentence
Despite the wisdom I’m given the resistance persistent
Is it the system or did I dismiss my mission’s fruition?
Did the fire arise from denying my mind’s ambition?
No signs to find must look inside to guide the decline of friction
Being stuck in the cusp of desperate driven position
And feeling fucked and out of luck makes a livid condition
This world is cruel providing fuel to the given ignition
Can’t prove demons exist but I depict vivid descriptions
You may be born with love in heart
But time teaches you hate
And no matter what path you take there’s no escaping fate
The effects of excessive weight start to affect you atate
Amplified by gods guise spies leaving demise in its wake
They say that nothing lasts forever it has to get better
But it seems as if my endeavors all get drastically severed
And is it simply a fact that I’ve cracked from the pressure?
Or instead of that its under flak which tenacity’s measured?
These questions linger in my mind like a sign to a treasure
If I resign to make the climb will I arrive at pleasure?
Are we confined to grind behind enemy lines together?
Will we define a meaning for our lives or find it never?
