so i choose to speak fast; nevermore it never lasts
goodbye to the other side of confidence youve never lacked
pull up to pen and pad see the writing fading fast
burning in my hand its the effigy of epitaph

still got my skin intact; veal from the holy calf
god im so faded; look at what ive had
i blew some inspiration, crushed up 30 em gees
mainline the technique; freebase the em cees

wont let it affect me, in fact it protects me
chug a case of my dreams, then i crush it against me
the samples a messiah the beats are my blessing
look to the sky for god or just keep texting

took a dirty spoonful and sat in roomfull of
hopes wrapped tight like wool on spool and
tried to remove the knots that my mind brought
by smoking the remains of the auditory onslaught


they scrape veins right through the rain
they scrape veins right through the rain
they scrape veins right through the rain
dont worry they kinda like the pain
they scrape veins right through the rain
they scrape veins right through the pouring rain
they scrape veins right through the rain
dont worry to them its all the same


enough i digress
forced purposelessness
youre lost can't find steps
it seems there's one way left

fuck it, ive been there before, out in front of your own house,
with the key, broken off,in the door
windows are locked and its pouring rain
nobody else is home, and noone feels the same

way that you do right now, thats just a facade
like the front wall of your house, projecting the mirage
you could see the oasis, if not for the trees
shake yourself free from the canopies of enemys

with energies colored darker shades than hennessy
wont let ya be ever witness to the serenity
clearly fell to the hell from the heavenly,
wont let me see all the tales that you been telling me


they scrape veins right through the rain
they scrape veins right through the rain
they scrape veins right through the rain
dont worry they kinda like the pain
they scrape veins right through the rain
they scrape veins right through the pouring rain
they scrape veins right through the rain
dont worry to them its all the same


if was to breakup the vinyl, slide it behind em,
grind it up slowly till it tickled inside em
took em and guide em, show how to divide em,
could they then understand why i do this despite em

not if im smiling, the bridge with no pilings
could still be burnt with reasons or violence
so ill never be silent, i know i can hide it
i dont need the comfort to keep myself occupied

he went from cells to reign no sales to fame
the glory that never came, got lost in the frame
can you quell my blame, i still spell my name
lost in the d e t a l e game

yes i am the laymens term in laymens terms
somewhere in between all the earth and the worms
yea yea detale yea yea i know my place
in the system with my mic in your face

match strikes in the place, i reach rapture
i hope you capture, what im after
all the actors talking in circles
would be better off working community service

so whats the verdict?
is the judge here or am i talking to serpants
who can tell me that i dont deserve it
when i open my mouth all words come out perfect
