Façade of Perfection

Eighteen years, but I haven’t lived a day
So many close ones have gone astray
I look across this plane
Under gray skies and frigid rain
These feelings that consume me I can’t ignore.
Living a good life is such a bore.
What makes the scholar strive
Becoming a body without a life?
Days and nights are merging into one
Blur of existence that’s just begun
What makes you change your mind
From excuses that you cannot find?
Love and hate and regret come in the same
Fake package, and it is all a shame
I fall for it every time
She’ll never say that “He is mine.”
I don’t think you’re ready for me
Keeping bars low. In my story,
Villains grow within my mind
And the ones that you’ve left behind
I don’t think your world is ready
Ripeness cannot come too early
When I pluck humanity off its vine
There you were
There you were all along
There I was
Searching for what was wrong
Until today
I found the end where I was lost
You liberate
(I’d never ever know the cost)
I won’t let you drown
Unless it’s my
Hands that are
Holding you down

[Bob Ross]
If you have light on light, you have nothing. If you have dark on dark, you basically have nothing. It's like in life, you gotta have a little sadness once in a while so you - you know when the good times come.
Who knew this petty glamour would
Be another backdrop in my life?
And who knew that every dying star would
Want to be a stabbing knife?
Give me the mask; give me the money
I’ll be the wolf and you’ll be the bunny
I am the grizzly; the world is my honey
Join the bandwagon that says that they love me (wow)
Protostar
You want a new religion?
Stab their back and pout
Let’s make a new decision
And baby, I will be the “someone” to talk about
Oh, but I’m exhausting myself; oh, but I needed no help
Oh, you better show yourself if you think you don’t know how I really felt (yeah)
Oh, deep within my veins, oh, I cannot contain
Oh, all the arrogant words that will just fly out and will leave a stain
Stab their back and pout...
Protostar
Bells and whistles hidden up my sleeve; don’t act naïve
To the culmination of this mass that I’ve stored
Feel my gravitational pull; I control your body and soul
This glimmer you’ve shrugged aside is now the reason that you’re blind!

When my eyes adjust to the light
My own downfall was doing things right
Just a little more angst will push me off this
Ledge I climbed to the people I don’t miss
Breaking my back every day to please the ones that don’t care
Wasting my time getting away too far from this hate-scare
When you’re trembling by yourself
With more sins beyond our God’s help
It’s too late to crawl back to me
It’s too late to pray to be free
Whisper me a song
Lay my head to sleep
Please give me a reason why... why
Why I dug myself so deep
When you’re trembling by yourself
With more sins beyond our God’s help
It’s too late to crawl back to me
It’s too late to pray to be free
Trying to wake up from this endless dream
Got me thinking my hopes cannot be seen
Look for salvation once or twice
Not knowing past decisions have got a price
Get out of bed go to the light
That’s the only real way I go through the night
And you won’t be missed when you are out my sight
You’re though with me
I’m through with you
You’re though with me
I’m through with you

Iron Lung

First thing’s first: I’ma break out – I’ma take out all the brick walls in my way
Let me rain down; let you pride drown in the sweat I break when two-faced try to play
You are gonna see what you’re gonna when you make a plea when I say there ain’t no mercy
In the sky high there’s another guy who will hear your voice, but I know it won’t be working
Work, no play; every other day I say the gray display that everybody’s cray
Never would I know that a life like mine would be judged by a letter or a number on a grade
Truth still hurts; open up this hearse; put regrets aside ‘cause the fault was hers
Get me on this throne; got nobody for a clone ‘cause a voice like mine is only good for a curse
80-UK every day Helter Skelter I don’t play
Get up on this state of mind; wake up, roll up, then I grind
Hey, I’ma try, I’ma love, I’ma live
Got a soul full of holes and it’s hard to forgive
Girl, take your face off; I just wanna know how my God can make a mind as dark as yours
Lift my dreams up like another revelation and shoot me down so I’m on all fours
Talk about me; think about me; push the only one away that you really loved
Yeah, but I still soar above
She was a contagion to me
Forgetting our love with the breeze
But when I reached my arms out to her soul
I realized her interest had grown old
Trapped inside this vacuum of unrest
I’m loathing so it’s pouring out my chest
I know I’m not within my place
But for sure it’s not this empty space
Yeah, bow down to this revelation
Make haste no waste in this fascist nation
I got full service and accreditation
Fire breath blazing ashes, that’s a new cremation
Break, break hearts like the pro you are
Turn your head, stab a back, make a horrid scar
Make a maze so it’s hard to find out who you are
And wish for another me upon a shooting star
80-UK gives out more/ya mi are di emperor
Grab a map and take a tour/what do you think you’re waiting for?
No one likes the nice and clean/females like the evil steam
If I were to see my dreams, I’d see mutuality
Cardboard cutout world is fake/someone just give me a break
If it’s happiness you make, people gonna steal and take
Butcher me like your livestock, thinking that your safety’s locked
When I start to roll and rock, I’ma get your airway blocked
I’ma give you what, what, what you want
So come on, make a move and quit your flaunts
I know what’s right, and your rights are wrong
So go and retreat where you belong
I’ma make, I’ma break, I’ma reap, I’ma sow
I got the tools and tricks to make me grow
I got hopes and I got fire
And thanks to you, hate brought me higher
You...
You really got me good
I really wish I would
Spread the pain, but I know you did it to yourself
I...
I play this game to lose
I never had to choose
I was predestined to lose it in the end
80-UK everyday
Helter Skelter I don’t play
Get up on this state of mind
Wake up, roll up, then I grind
All and over, said and done
Your hypocrisy has won
Burn your eyes out into the sun
And exhale through this iron lung
[Renee Williams]

Eye of Ra

Oh my God
Seven billion people; I’m just another creature
Sitting in this church where I am your preacher
Bellowing out my sermon, hoping that I’ll teach you
A feature of what it’s like to have luck beat you
Baptized by the bass and nurtured by the treble
My presence turns your high and mighty mountains to pebbles
Confirmed through betrayal and confessing my heart
But it’s time for the underdog to tear this world apart
Bruh, what the fuck
Open your eyes to the grace, to the waste
Rot that mind, paint your face, leave a trace
Get up on my level and forget what you saw
Come and take a glimpse through the holy eye of Ra
Nothing is a secret when it projects out my face
So don’t be surprised when I say “You’re replaced”
And if I think you’re fickle in whatever you mention
I’ll delete you from existence quicker than Hillary Clinton
So mirror, mirror let me see clearer
You’ve shown that my chivalry should never reappear
I’ve tried more than once just to please this Earth
But I realized that none of it is what it’s worth (come on)
Open your eyes to the grace, to the waste
Rot that mind, paint your face, leave a trace
Get up on my level and forget what you saw
Come and take a glimpse through the holy eye of Ra
Open your eyes to the grace, to the waste
Rot that mind, paint your face, leave a trace
Get up on my level and forget what you saw
Come and take a glimpse through the holy eye of Ra
Come on!

Rigor Mortis

[Some Narrator]
The artificial blood circulation ensures the metabolism necessary for the life of the head. The isolated head lives on for hours and reacts to external stimuli.
Stuck in a place, wiping out the time
Paleness on the face, get out this life
Stationary thoughts fester in the brain
Existential “oughts” drowning in the rain
Climbing to the feet, no blood in the eyes
Sleep walk to a seat, useless till the night
Monotonous earth, cyclical and small
Is this what I’m worth? “No,” said I, “Not at all!”
Crippled with no strength to stand
Higher beings will not lend a hand
Rigor Mortis - she holds me tight
Evanesce my worth from sight
As carrion, I won’t carry on
Melting in my spot till dawn
Lay me on the sterile Stretcher
Cut in deep as the human Fleischer
Awaken in a drunken daze
On your back is where you’ll stay
But is there more to these identical days?
Not when all hues blend to gray
Crippled with no strength to stand
Higher beings will not lend a hand
Rigor Mortis - she holds me tight
Evanesce my worth from sight
Just put me in my motherfucking grave

Silver-Bullet Promises
07:39
|

[Jonathan Bowden]
In my philosophy, sympathy multiplies misery. And if someone's in pain in front of you, you give them some options, and if they can't get through it... suicide's always an option. What does that mean? It means conflict is natural and good. It means domination is natural and good. It means that what you have to do in order to survive is natural and good. It means that we should not begin every sentence for apologizing for our past, or apologizing for who we are. We would not preface every attempt to be strong by say "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what we have done." We're not sorry! We're all gonna die, and make use of that time that remains. The glory of our time is not - is not behind us. But the first thing that we have to do is to say, "I walk towards the tunnel, and I am on my own, and I am not afraid, and I have no regrets."
The end, to me, was just a dream
That came faster than it seemed
You closed the door of trust away
Now I won't let you breathe for another day
I was lost in the space of me
You broke my lock and set it free
I imitated who I couldn’t be
Yet you loved your life I couldn’t see
Pretend to make me happy
Tell lies to bring me near
This story is just beginning
I'm still inside of here
I peer over the edge of fame and
I see you on your hands and knees
I don’t regret decisions made
This is what your body wanted to be
Expectations are a rerun
Of all my little flaws
And promises are silver-bullets
To silence my gaping maw
Remember the times that burnt up fast
In all my lives shrouded in the past
This path I trek will never end
For the gloom that I will tend
These events have no reverse
Nostalgia is within the hearse
This example you set was a hypocrite
That turned my reality into shit
Pretend to make me happy
Tell lies to bring me near
This story is just beginning
I'm still inside of here
Pretend to make me happy
Tell lies to bring me near
This story is just beginning
I'm still inside of here
I peer over the edge of fame and
I see you on your hands and knees
I don’t regret decisions made
This is what your body wanted to be
Expectations are a rerun
Of all my little flaws
And promises are silver-bullets
To silence my gaping maw
