01. Spun Clues

Verse 1:

Inside the beast's belly is where I live, it is where I now call home,

residing east of streets where monsters hid and took their seats on tall thrones,

confide in me tell me where do they give all their scares when they all roam?

dividing the city with their tight grip some use prayer some will scrawl poems.

Stand up do you feel it? 

Makes you keel and, then you scream 'til you squeal and,

sand stuck in your heels and, so you kneel and,

you lose steam and your wheel's dead,

hands up to the ceilin', now you're reelin', 

with the dreams of a healin',

damn fuck what you're feelin', 

now you're dealin,

with a scheme not appealin',

Chorus:

Yo, shaken, shook, I'm feelin' stunned too,

bait a hook and take a look at what you've come through,

shady crooks will fake and book it as they shun truths,

they're gonna lose if they choose with their spun clues x2

Verse 2:

And you want the days to go backwards,

so you close your eyes and dream.

But you're haunted, dazed and those factors got you hopeless, fried and beat.

And you're taunted, played and so plastered, that you're broken by defeat.

What is daunting makes and grows hazards, that have spoke of lies and greed

Oh! To make it, to live a life so flagrant,

I wonder what it would be like if all the people were awakened,

Oh! The patience, I'm hidden like a vagrant.

My blunders tucked, I could free my gift but I'm weakened by complacence

(Chorus)

02. Undiscovered

Verse 1:

Standin' at the junction,

stranded and abandoned hope I'm handed with the gumption,

to handle the corruption with cannabis consumption,

production of fuck given stuck - missin' the vision,

liquid oxidation, aging causes degradation get inocculation,

fuck indoctrination from your cults and occupations,

stop the nation from asphyxiation start the reformation, like 

Chorus:

Even if I choke I'll take the undiscovered route,

grievin' and provoked I ache but I'mma come around,

leave 'em in the smoke I'll make it like a summer drought,

I'm broken down but focused now and floatin' 'round a golden cloud

Verse 2:

I just wanna know what is my function?

Not making assumptions,

caught up in mistaking the instructions,

I just wanna know who are my allies,

when will my morale die,

fending off the fakers with a foul lie,

Sever all the lights so the mood is masked,

clever in the night and I'm movin' fast,

tremors from the fright and the truth is cras,

never wanna fight so they do the dash

(Chorus)

Verse 3:

And you know I always gotta tell 'em twice cuz the people never listen,

they're sleepin' on the vision,

I see 'em like an eagle from a distance,

gotta let 'em know about the system,

they show and spout their fiction,

they're goin' 'round and slowin' down ambition.

Something has gotta make 'em turn back,

even if this new light starts burnin' all their learned facts,

demons creepin' through nights they're yearnin' for a blurred trap,

beacons beaten through spite, discern 'em from the third act

(Chorus)

03. Nights

Chorus:

And I won't stare if you talk about me,

if you don't stare when I talk about you,

I like to think I'm holdin' up,

I fight but sink I'm foldin' up,

the night is bleak I'm cold and stuck,

at lights I blink I'm chokin' up (x2)

Verse 1:

(I don't think how you could ever wanna be, I don't think how you could ever wanna see)

Bet the people talk about you ignore the results they find,

get cerebral thoughts up out you before they insult your mind,

threats of evil walk around you they swarm like how vultures fly,

let what's peaceful block and ground you and store the results this time,

but cultures die, nullified, try again and start from scratch,

multiply, justified, biased men too smart to catch,

Sort the different categories put them each in their own place,

taught to listen, having boring wooden speeches spares the grace,

so stand up straight, animate, prepare for the grand debate,

plant the bait, plan your fate, beware of expanding hate

(Chorus)

Verse 2:

 (No progress with no change, must harness the whole range)

Of opportunities given, cuz ingenuity isn't,

gonna come to you and visit, and so to view it, the vision

just gotta chase it and grab it, so makin' waitin' a habit's

just gonna make you look back and regret mistakes and your status,

takin' leaps over canyons, don't get defeated from blandness,

and overheated from handin' off the repeated demands and - 

all the failures they've caused you cuz they'll derail and haunt you,

making you frail and fault you, don't need a savior it's on you

to shift the patterns and pivot, take what you have and then give it,

a touch of madness and grit it's how to unravel the spirit,

and how to pave a new road, a brand new way to unload,

so hold and take the controls and drive away from explosions

in the back of you blowin' up while they hackin' up smoke and stuff,

what they lack is what's holdin' up, their attack so they're slowin' up,

while you press and move forward, with no obsessions of former,

days of depression and borders, weigh all the stress down in water,

come on

(Chorus)

04. Storm's Eye

Verse 1:

Feelin' kinda messed up what am I to do?

kneelin' I confess but put it on the mood,

healin' but you're stressed stuck up and stubborn too,

cleanin' out the chest, yuck, muck is seepin' through,

dealin' with a bad man leave 'em in the zoo,

seekin' out the facts and grievin' all the news,

stealin' what I have damn thievin' for the food,

feedin' all the rats can't even see the view,

recalling decisions judged against morality,

I'm drawing revisions, smudges on formalities,

I'm clawing incisions, nudging your mentality,

and hauling the winnings, trudging through normality

Chorus:

To the middle of the storm I cling,

hear the riddle that I've longed to sing (x2)

Spoken Word #1:

Millions and millions of souls burn like the equator. Vanishing into thin air each and every day. 

As we carry on without an inclination of their plight.

Verse 2:

Lookin' at myself but blankin' on the face,

crooked like a shelf that's hangin' by a lace,

footing slipped I fell yup, sank with all the weight,

bookin' it for hell stuck waitin' on my fate,

shook and I'm upset starin' at a void space,

puttin' up with threats glarin' at me through a gate,

couldn't even sweat fear intact through the hate,

shouldn't have to get there and back so I stay,

drowning in my thoughts until these memories have grown distant,

bouncing back I fought when all these entities have sewn dissent,

doubting me I ought to go squeeze remedies from known events,

crowding until clots have formed, please carefully throw stones at them

(Chorus)

Spoken Word #2:

The value of such an irregularity, such a rarity of occurrence, rivals that

of the rocks that reside on our precious moon. Meanwhile I say...

Verse 3:

Breakin' what I've built and cut it like a knife,

waken' from the guilt stand up and pay the price,

Satan makes a quilt and luck becomes a vice,

shaken by the thrill damn fuck when I was nice

take it when destroyed then bring it back to life,

waitin' for enjoyment cling to what is nice,

blatantly annoyed and stingin' from the fight,

hastily avoiding singing through the night

I don't wanna take your prize until the fight is mine,

I'm not gonna wake sore eyes or spill your sightless crimes,

you've no honor snake, pure lies, kill with the slightest spine,

let the drama make floors rise and fill the site with shrines

(Chorus)

Spoken Word #3:

The patterns, waves of movement, and signals of activity that we appear to be witnessing 

during each cycle of the sun, sew doubt in the minds of those who question everything.

05. The Bottom

Verse 1:

(I don't... no I don't... no I don't... I don't...)

Even give a mother fuck about 'em,

leave 'em livin' in the muck I found 'em,

breathin', hissin, smothered stuck and drownin',

bleedin', drippin, run amok for doubtin',

Is it right to think like this?

Limit spite to think righteous,

vivid light and pink brightness,

vision fights to blink; sightless

when I stare directly at the eclipse,

then you care, protect me from the grievin',

when I dare to wreck the life I'm leadin',

in a flare erected like a Phoenix,

so I can take a new shot, blow up plans make a new plot,

though I can't shake the skewed thoughts,

so I stand and fake you out

Chorus: 

Hop inside and I'mma tell you 'bout it,

stop the ride and I'mma never shout it,

drop your eyes and look at where we're flyin',

'top the skies and it is terrifyin'

not surprised that all your underlyin',

knots and ties are what are occupyin',

bottom, the bottom

Verse 2:

Sneak a peak out and look down,

meet the bleak town and drug clouds,

see the weak drownin' uptown,

speak to these found at sundown,

why do, you sigh with long tears? Smile!

(You'll find you don't dare try to, who's mind do your peers lie to?)

Do I belong here?

Even if I wanna find a way to reach the exit I don't that it can ever open,

demons pry around and fly astray to breach the nexus try to show in fact, it's never broken,

leaf is dry astounded by the hay it seeks the next step dyin' hope is that forever's golden,

I don't think I should be here, didn't think I would see clear!

(Chorus)

Verse 3:

I don't wanna come face to face,

with another one who fakes the race,

cuz I'm gonna run and chase the plates,

looking for the sun and space no haste,

I don't want it spun erase the tapes,

language is a gun vacate the place,

anguish isn't done so brace the hate,

vanish and you're stunned make way I'm late,

I am not the type to light the tip,

fire for the light will smite the ship,

dire is the night who's vice it grips,

tired of the fights, the gripes, the quips,

liars brandish stripes so high they'll slip,

try and bandage minds but I dismiss,

I don't think I should be here,

didn't think I would see clear! 

(Chorus x2)

06. Devil's Dealings  

Verse 1:

And I wanna overcome the haze, I wanna run from grays, I wanna numb the pain,

but even if I took a break from the dumbass ways, I bet I'd lose the strength, I'd feel bruised and dazed,

yo, and I wanna splice together,

the puzzle pieces and the reach the final picture,

my muzzled demon wants to see me die and wither,

gotta beat it, trouble remains if it's evil spirals inward

So as I'm observing the situation right now,

I'm unnerved at intimidation's white gown,

All your swerving and mitigation's quite fowl,

undeserving of liberation, write down,

all -

of the reasons you think you should live,

why deceitful thoughts and hateful words keep you adrift,

why upheaval shouldn't bleed you of your ruthlessness,

so you propose a deal and I reel as I think of it

Chorus: 

I might take it,

cuz if it breaks the hate that I'm fated,

even if escape is tainted by payin',

it's leavin' me awake remade and elated, I

might take it,

cuz if breaks the hate that I'm fated,

even if escape is tainted by payin',

it's leavin' me awake, remade and elated, I

Verse 2:

And so now I gotta ask you this,

what is the catch and risk,

what is the task I get,

to do for you for my reward that you'd so gladly gift,

that you're so happy with?

What do you grab from it?

yo,

There's a limit to my malice,

I'll only go so far to give into the callous,

actions I know you are envisioning I balance,

while you're sitting in your palace I'll be giving you a challenge,

cuz I won't stoop as low as I know that you will go,

won't be duped just so you get your little fill, oh,

you're a brute, no roping me into your thrill show,

wearing suits in hopes of hiding that you kill slow,

yo,

but if we could reach a compromise,

if you could look at me just once and see with honest eyes,

after you took back the whole grudge that keeps me ostricized,

I promise I'd apologize so we could try to optimize

(Chorus)

Verse 3:

Dealin' with the devil got me heated like a kettle,

as my feet begin to tremble I am feelin' less than settled,

cuz he's leading me to peril all by beating me at several,

ways of cheating at the levels and he's feeding off my mental state,

and greeting me with venom got me dreaming of a better way,

of healing but I bet if I start fleeing I'll be threatened,

some may see it as pathetic, but believe it for a second,

his mistreatment is a weapon, gotta leave him and reject 'em

(Chorus)

07. Wits About Me

Verse 1:

Wanna say I got my wits about me,

but honestly all of the shit's compounding,

and constantly I'm finding it confounding,

it's comedy it really is astounding.

Wits about me, sins around me,

gotta think twice or I'm dead from drowning,

win from counting, the different boundaries,

taking advice circumvent surroundings,

notice it but don't scratch the itch,

total glitch so don't catch the pitch

Verse 2:

Kinda cling to all the wits inside me,

but I will sink and I will quit if guidance,

is blind and fickle need to get provided,

with time to think and not commit to hiding,

wits divide me, sin is by me,

gotta hone in on the known - surprising,

will lead to blinding, and feed the fighting,

never grow if all the loans are rising,

notice it but don't latch to it,

so the glitch, it won't master it

Verse 3:

Truthfully none of my wits are present,

lunacy has taken it for granted,

humans we could never grip the essence,

of unity and so we're stripped and stranded,

wits disowning, sins enclosing,

not enough fight left to attempt opposing,

spinning, choking, grinning, moaning,

not enough light left to tempt the slowing

Noticed it and I've scratched the itch,

loathing it but I've patched the glitch

(All verses repeat)
