Well I can keep up with the pace
I'm stepping up to plate
Running up the game
Covxnstead been making waves for ages
Time to claim the bank
Say fuck the fame & elevate
A nation as they fucking fade
Been caught up in a trip
Coming to my senses, babe
It's time to get up out my crib
And seize the day
Out my cell
Been bottled up for days
I got some shit to say
Letting go my grip
I'm losing everything
Still taking names
Evasive bitch
I'm shroud in shade
Son of cain
Wont fucking fade
I'll pull the pin
Blow me away
Well I can keep up with the pace
I'm stepping up to plate
Running up the game
Covxnstead been making waves for ages
Time to claim the bank
Say fuck the fame & elevate
A nation as they fucking fade
Been caught up in a trip
Coming to my senses, babe
It's time to get up out my crib
And seize the day
Out my cell
Been bottled up for days
I got some shit to say
Out my cell
Been bottled up for days
I got some shit to say

Time & time again, I'll fuck it up
And lose a friend, I lost my love
I said some shit I shouldn'ta said
Did some shit I shouldn'ta done
Down with demons in the sun
Staying south till summer comes
Astray, I'm out, road tripping 'round
Roasting dro to fill my lungs
Take an ounce up to the face
By the blunt, a Couple days
Until its done
& everyone got a plug for the haze
Gotta quicken up the pace
Don't wanna be a fucking waste
So I'm blowing up the spot
Till they all know my fucking name
Then I'm dropping down to rot
Just like I've wanted to for ages, last escape
My final fall, don't fear the pain
I'll end it all, & elevate to higher plains
So I don't go through this again
The less I have
The more I am
A fleeting piece of everything
My final fall, don't fear the pain
I'll end it all, & elevate to higher plains
So I don't go through this again
The less I have
The more I am
A fleeting piece of everything
The less I have
The more I am
A fleeting piece of everything
Yeah I'm a

In the moment I'm fine
In the morning I'm missing my dime
I'll need more than a bowl
If I'm sleeping tonight
Roll up some dro in a blunt
I'll be blunt, I've been dumb in my life
There's no right way to cope
Its always fight or flight
At the end of my rope
Won't make it through the night
I'll be pouring my soul on a beat
Keeping legions in mind
But they're working with me
Steady feeding me secrets in rhyme
And that's why
I'm ahead of my time
Anxiety onward
Depression behind
Scitzo and manic
With drugs in my spine
I be feeling the panic
When she's by my side
I can't keep it together
For more than a second
Regretting I fell for those eyes
Bet they'll be sweet demise
& we know without saying
So we let it slide
Try to keep with the times
Life's a beach then you die
I'll be riding these waves
'Till the end of the line
Hope against hope
To see you one more time
Polarized in our being
Implying the other, Divine
Yet each pulled by the tide
Go our separate directions
to open our eyes
Laying down in the bed that I made with my pride
Lay me down in the grave that I dug with my lies
Come around when you're wishing to bid me goodbye.

Swelling from Hell
I'm expelling the Devil inside
Demons hitching a ride to the skies
By the works from my tongue
Masterpiece of my mind
Coalition of guises just trying to thrive
Find my pride by my side, time to time
'Fore I fly, gotta try to provide
Know it's all just a ride
At the end when we die
Going home to a place unperceived by the eye
In that night without day
you can't take anything
Gotta leave what you love
Gotta lose what you claimed
Makes me cry
I feel angry
Can't hold anything
When it all goes away
But we change what we take in our souls
& That goes all the way to the goal
At the end of the line
It was all just a game
Thank you all who keep playing along
But I'd fain to abstain from the play if I can
I want nothing to keep
I see nothing to gain
Refrain from the clamor
Of towers all toppling down to the ground from the clouds
When the reaper comes 'round
I don't want to ascend
I don't want to fall down
Got no ends to compel me towards them
Just make sounds to resound
Like a hand reaching out in the shade
Come to peace with my place
I got nowhere to be
Now I'm here
Nothing stays
Feeling fear
But I'm brave
Be courageous in dangers we face
We create every scene
No escaping from specters we make
I believe everything is in it's perfect place
Falling fast towards the ground
But I'm falling with faith
And with fate
Can't relate with the fakes
Knowing nothing's at stake
I see nothing to gain
Yo, I'm falling with faith
And with fate
Can't relate with the fakes
I know nothing's at stake
I see nothing to gain

Is there anybody out there?
Out there?
I’m about to fall asleep and I
Don’t think I want to dream tonight
I need you here to lie beside
I've been living in a nightmare
Nightmare
Another falling star, just passing through
Wanna know the fucking truth?
I’d loose it all to give to you
Baby don't fall apart like that
We both know this hurts so bad
Always lonely, always sad
Pick shit apart find out where were at
Where you at?
Where you at?
Is there anybody out there?
Out there?
I’m about to fall asleep and I
Don’t think I want to dream tonight
I need you here to lie beside
I've been living in a nightmare
Nightmare
Another falling star, just passing through
Wanna know the fucking truth?
I’d loose it all to give to you

The Fool

Hopping back onto the black top
From the shadow of the valley
Crossing borders 'fore the cops come
Creeping up behind me
All my habits left me hollow
Down and shattered
By the water
Now or never
Going harder
Hardly counting all the tallies
Taking time into account
Never found that lounging would amount
I gotta feed my soul
Know stagnation never was the route
About to spark a bowl
Loaded hypocrite with beats to pout
A history of scars that gleam
And sometimes split
Start leaking out
And drips onto the paper
Stain my narration from the clouds
Been dipping into Ether
That, or I'm fucking freaking out
Fly, like the time of my life
Carve my route
I've been thinking at night
Hit the road
Kiss the coast
Drive with mountains in sight
But I wake to a world of demand and supply
I'm blinded by Babylon's boxes and lights
My demise is appealing
With such a fine tune
To my feeling
I'm reeling
Repealing
Revoking
My name from the calling
Falling from heights
I sometimes regret leaving
A season of stalling
The hurt to the healing
Loss to recieving
I'm leaning towards leaving
No reason
A feeling
I'm fading
Been waiting
For ages it seems
Been dying a lot in my dreams
Been losing all seeds to the crows
Never sowing
Know knowing
How long I can fucking go
I'm loaded so long as I hold on to some hope
I'm loaded so long as I hold on to some hope

Lately I been letting go
Released control
No wonder I feel so alone
I Lost myself along the road
Cant pull together any friends
I cant contest with all my foes
Got this pain inside my chest
That's the murder that she wrote
What's the point of paying rent
To keep me stuck inside a home?
What's the point of seeing you
If we fall out soon as I go?
What's the point of eating food?
I hate that shit that keeps me going
Every breath I take
Contrary to my mental state
A mind like mine not growing old
Before I quit & fold
I'll make a note
And lease it to the waves
for those that feel alone
Leaking lacquer on the floor
Loosing lately and I know
I'm gonna have to make a move
State to state is nothing new
But I've been caught up in my roots
To tell the truth
I'm out of options
I'll keep calm and stumble through
Set to win but proved to lose
Another useless face to you
My seams are popping
Breaking off, I'm often used
I'll make a scene today
Then place me softly in my coffin
Yesterday has lost its luster
Feeling down and out of luck
I lost my lust
A fucking downer
Back to drowning tell the truth
Wanna fade away to prove to you
This very moment is a gift
And you can grip or let it slip
Won't end it hanging by a noose
I'm pulling off
To switch my route

Visions

Stick to shadow, straggler shattered in the gutter,
Underpasses, pass the blunt between my brother,
bumping beats no speaking,
Utter verses surely stemming from the Ether
Legions swell above us,
Sucking vibes up from the strata,
Hover over shifting masses
Under-cover of the actor
Been perceived through Laqour
Stabbed with fire, cobra sliththering up Jacob's ladder,
Spirit's spire
"I" expired
Higher being, Nothing matters
y'all aquire, ill retire early,
no savings required
Find me out inspired by the way my pain defines my laughter
Dire life, haywire,
Prior scene no lighter
Like this plot much better,
Still I'm fucking tired
Bound for closing, made a leap and sent my story for revision
New beginning
Took a look outside the wheel and Found the plot that i'd envisioned,
No decision, higher systems dragged me out, excision
Slipping from the grip, devision
Some derision
Split from shit provisions,
television programs univision
This is my rescission
Sickened apparition
Scraping by, just skin and bone, I kissed goodbyyyye to the whip
Set to fly or die alone, no gripping
Tiiight to the cliffa
Done fighting life to stay afloat and this is all giving in,
I Found the light, implicit role that
Underliiies all this shit
You know, before I bust my ass for cash to blow on bowls to cash,
most on the road, I'm burning gas, and blowing stacks on drugs to ash the past and hope I don't relapse because a crash from hights like her are fucking bad, I'm back to black, leave me alone, my home is trashed,
I'm passing out, too stoned on hash,
I'll Go wherever, nowhere fast
Find she'll oppose when I relapse,
At least I try, no luck with that,
Still getting by, though scraping through
Never suited, daily duties keep me dirty weather working or excused and loose beyonde horizons far from you.
Watch me light the fuse
Shake these shackles loose.
You know that its a ride, can't be improved
Chaos here is balance from another view
Life and death are heavy though they bring fourth nothing new
Moving since the first explosion blew

Death of a Lawman

Stepping with Hell and with Heaven
Been beckoned by Devil
With pleasure, I fell
From the realm of the dead
To the sediment,
Reveling, down with my demons
I'm back on the track again
Capture the vibe
Share my side of this life with the sky
I'm provided for if I'm alive
So no more need to cry
Waking up, come to life
Wanna find what I lost
Taking off my disguise
Stepping out of my box
Then I hop in my ride
Time to fly
I don't know where to go
So I'll flow where I'm blown
& I'll roam 'till I die
My demise only comes
At the end of the road
Hope I'm proud looking back
Can't return to the old days
They're gone to the past
I'm past that bitch
Don't laugh
Know I've said that before
I'm compelled to relapse
I've abhorred the whole world
Since the day I was born
'Till the day I collapse

Nothing much & none the less
Never better, still depressed
I'm wide awake, I die in rest
Then wake to rise to my regret
And my mistakes are mine to make
Time's to take to try and test
Sight is mine to entertain
Creating form from light impressed
Came around without a cause
I'm taking off without a trace
Been gone for days
Away for ages
Baby let me fall away
So complacent
What a waste
Still cant seem to fucking wake
Myself from nightmares
I Don't wanna feel
Real fake
Make no mistake
The Captivated captive
Captain of my own constraints
Pick up myself by my bootstraps
I keep falling on my face
Ruthless energy keeps raging
Making up all time and space
Please come to a grinding halt
No fault to place or praise to claim
No claim to fame I came to say
I'm gone away, wont play your games
Separate myself from fake
No shame
Feel no disdain
I'm going places you wont find me
Off the grid & astral planes
I'm going places you wont find me
Off the grid & astral planes
Fuck 'em
