It began at sixteen, (when) the worlds words blurred, my dreams, took my esteem, into a downwards stream, in between scenes of raves, days, of misbehaves I pray my masquerade stays, until it fades, the depression, stressing, the best things, I feel it messing, with every break I’m promised, instead I’m haunted, by past ghosts, who crash hope with mad jokes my conditions stays chronich , my listen to their carnage introduced the gin & tonic So now it’s me myself and the voices, A dark cell, I can’t tell if it’s bad choices, I stare down, ignore the sound around, pour a bit more making it easier to hide the frown, I’m falling, death is calling, life is scolding me for constantly stalling, can’t walk straight, every step filled with hate, can’t stand who I am so I tend to be fake, locked the real me in a prison I can't free, the bars are like scars from bad memories, man I grew up to be, what I didn't want to be, just living a nightmare that keeps haunting me,

Hook: I see the rain, fall in to my brain, Verse 1: a destroyed sanctum, once holy now it blows me how a void phantom, made it so abandoned, made a big tantrum, made my dreams cancel, made a grave where I lay, it’s the same anthem, that’s stuck in replay, from the days, of adolescence, darkened my expression, & lost me my essence, cost me aggression, brought me digression, forced me to the far seat, birthed the depression, Chorus: Tell me what do you see Hook 2 : I see a grave, inscribed with my name, I see a tomb, looking like a room, Where the hell can I bloom, in a place this gloom, Verse 2: I can’t stop it, turn it down even block it, I am a hostage, prospects scream drop it, the outlook is grim, so hang with the gin, dance with the sin, my plans to begin, are delayed, afraid, what they might take, either break, make, what my heart craves, before it’s too late, my core will rot away The question always stay, it keep me wide awake, While I sleep on my dreams, Late night screams, the silence of my dreams, repeating, deleting, Thoughts of any treating, Made my grieving, To a daily routine, Hook 3: I see my weakness, dull my uniqueness, 
I see my weakness, dull my uniqueness, I see my weakness dull my uniqueness I see the passion, coming down crashing, who the fuck is laughing, do you hear me grasping, Verse 3: Do you hear me drowning? a sunken place this space is my surrounding, 6 feet deep, only pain came to greet, stains on my feet, spilled wine to be discrete, My mind is at a bleak, Everything I see, is the cover at me feet, Caught in a nightmare that’s stuck on repeat, Hard to wake up man only been asleep, I stretch but never reach, Pledge but never keep, My best for me to see, It’s reversed I feel cursed, no worth, No cure to disperse so I pour all the hurt, Till it drowns all the shame, Pour it down let it rain on my brain, strikes a vein that's filled with disdain, and a blade to erase all the pain Hook 4 I see the rain falling to my brain I see the rain falling to my brain I see the rain falling to my brain I feel the pain heavier than the rain I feel the pain heavier than the rain I feel how it stains these sparks in my brain

Nightmares from my early years, haunting never wanting to disappear, I never share but they leak as tears, disguised from peers, in the form of cheers, now it’s 1 am I meet them again, drown out their voices with a bottle gin, but the noise still rises, No mute in my horizon, Only a knife that knows I am frightened (Let me take care of you) I am stressing fretting the past, eyes so sharp, they cut through the mask, and I’m left with, the one I don’t mess with, hides in his lies keep light so neglected, disrespected, whatever connected, so affected I see no exit, (Come to me) so this knife I hold, give the life I’m owed, Need to right my soul, I just want control,

Verse 1: Do you know how it feels waking up still stuck? In the same fucking well it’s hard to get up. Feeling held down, by your worlds frown, no Lassie around to ever pull you up. I’ve been here, for an eternity, dying internally hide it all externally. Was it a fall or choice i made? a self made prison cause I been too afraid, of being brave favoured by misfortunate, couldn’t face my life so I chose an abortion, the unfortunate didn’t/of not realise earlier, my dreams are dead and I’m the murderer. Verse 2: Everyday it looks like i pray, love from no one but the ground telling me to stay, I obey, delay my life, no one around get counsel from a mic, no father with advice, every lesson is a match I barely put up a fight, feeling hopeless, surrounded by vultures, in every reflection i feel them approaching, feeding of me, keep me in this coffin, my only guests are dreams who haunt me, Taunt me, you made us into this, into a fucking wish when we wanted to exist Verse 3: 5 years, it’s been 5 years, From the day I chose a way, where joy disappeared It’s clear, I’m ruled by fear, Verse 4: Is it me? Do I want to be free, did I create the ghosts that are haunting me, what. is it? I let myself be imprisoned, locked the doors made the floor my mistress, I must’ve kissed it, too many times, too see she came to be from the doubt in my mind, now it’s time to divorce, she took more than half, gave what i couldn’t stand to get something that last, no don’t worries to calm my ear, something more than a credit card score, something so robust it’ll wipe the floor of the tears, fears, jeers, leave em in a state where they'll never get near

Hook: Star crossed lovers raised in this whirlwind, lost in the world, me and my girlfriend, torn apart by the darkness of hearts who pray for our end and we play the part, star crossed lovers raised in this whirlwind, against the world me and my girlfriend, they don't see it hope for a break up early, changed our way this is not our journey. Verse1: Are we nothing more, than a cpr score? Heading to the coffin treating life like a chore, what for? what destination? this course seems off baby we’re we racing, we’re too complacent, never been real, the view from the backseat doesn’t appeal so i took it to my rap sheet wrote how i feel gotta let the facts meet and take the wheel Verse 2: Let’s face it, We’re born in matrix, torn by faces, sworn to save us, it’s get hard to trust, let’s depart this bus, be the stars that crossed, all that pretending zero heart mending, These comments tryna shoot our dominion, I promise, Tybalt won’t be winning, our solace, let’s decide our ending, Verse3: Let’s rewrite the reprise, keep the spite outta sight, I only know where to go cause you showed me the mic, had me recite the delights, all the wrongs I couldn't write, Through the songs I did right, felt them burn all my frights, That’s when I learned, these concerns, could turn to my might, could earn me the right, to a view i might like, put that honest to my sight, so I promise you my life Hook: Star crossed lovers raised in this whirlwind lost in the world, me and my girlfriend, torn apart by the darkness of hearts, who pray for our end but we won't play the part cause, all I need is this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend that's girlfriend promise to ride forever, lost in the whirlwind let's reign together.

Verse 1: When I was at my weakest I spend my nights sleepless, a hypochondriac suffering from insomnia, late nights spend on identity fights, countless hours I devoured till it dawned me that, I’ve been waiting, for the pain to start fading, but all along all I did was delay my rehabilitating, life procrastinating, postponed my dating, with destiny she was telling me her interest is fading. (No more) Me and her, if I stayed who I were, I was heading in a crash course and didn’t even stir, looked at the dashboard while it was mostly a blur, blacking out on the asphalt, (thinking) how could this occur, I let this world have me deter, became a fucking jerk, gazed into the abyss, it gazed back with a smirk, couldn’t fathom in my battle I became my own saboteur, In the midst of my crashing only my passion would work. Verse 2: (No more) staring hopeless being eaten by vultures, I am the sculptor and the sculpture, only be needing to focus. Grab my mallet and chisel, my pad and my pencil, put my heart into these lines for every thing i been through. For everything that i fought, for the pain in my heart, darkening my spark left a permanent mark, thought my dreams were too far and I couldn't reach the star, but the moons never getting closer if I stand here and bark, Verse 3: I could spit a list of shit I want to do no more, but the upper priority is being better than before, surpass my past, leave the sadness in ashes, remodel my Clay never going back to being Cassius, Sleeping on my dreams with eyes wide shut, pardon my hubris Stanley Kubrick they'll never see this cut, I'm giving hope out of a suffix. turning dreams to reality unfazed by gravity, learned from Icarus' agony, Taught me Mkiza tread softly, the sky promises a high but the fall is costly, harden your wings, till they won't melt by anything, whatever rock thrown at you turn it to a sharpening, And soar through all the pain life brought you, let the scars on your heart remind you of the time adversity fought you, it wasn't glorious but no great story is, if you emerged with a wound that means you emerged victorious.

Verse 1: Ya better watch and learn, see how I turn, some pain to a flame that i now let burn, burn the concerns, this is what I yearn, scorched the remorse my torch is the return of the passion, conveyed through rapping, my syllables, are verbal assassin, my target is death to my nerves, left in a verse man fuck what you heard, EGO TALKING Verse 2: This is what I choose, what I’m gonna do, my path out the abyss is not without a bruise, but, my fabric is anti average, I was stuck in a box now all I do is match it, had no locks I still broke out, the key homie was to face the doubt, I erased the drought, stormed my way out, reign on top, my esteem begins to sprout, Yes! This is a new mind state, I don’t sleep on my dreams spendings nights wide awake, (Uh) And I’ll never hesitate, Just stand like a man, and plan my great escape, Break my mental gate red hood out the forest, met my bad wolf what U do man I Tore him, bore him, wore him, rock that grey fur, Ran to the pack, I’ll never be insecur, when it all fell down, I turned the pain around, Made my shame a sound, let it drain the frown, Let the chains, and the stains, be the paint, to my crown, put my name in this game the boy is here right now,

I been waiting for this, my whole I been waiting for this, I’m an addict this is my fix, no sea could match how deep I crave for this, Verse 1: As I walk down a hazardous road, Light close, white clothes, where the hell do I go? No concrete I meet some dirt on my feet, hurts if I sleep, but works just for me,/ The perks of being free, Are way more attractive, than being inactive, Sleep on a mattress, dreams bout actress, stuck in sadness, I much rather practice, My steps to success, My road is a mess, so I walk with finesse, talk with conviction, chalk every mention, sparked my ambition, Glad I don’t listen, To any chatter, it never matter, I shatter, the pattern, fracture, your stature, capture, you’re bout to, witness my rapture, There’s nothing after, It’s way past due, on my way back to, what I place value, So I’ll pursue till I lose, never choose to excuse, I either move or be moved, Hook: I been waiting for this, my whole I been waiting for this, I’m an addict this is my fix, no sea could match how deep I crave for this, Freestyle

Verse: I confess, perhaps I’m obsessed, mixing lines with the times I spend stressed, Takes it away, negativity gets replaced, that's life’s elixir I'm an Alchemist, I recall every storm that I weathered, a single purpose made me thrive in the desert, had doubt in surplus from being a shepherd, Imagine what would’ve happen if I didn’t venture, but I treasured, my destiny more, than dead presidents and conformities shore, my drive to live this world cannot break it face it I was meant to set sail, Destined to prevail hop off the well, survived the drought ya should wish me well, now the world is my canvas I paint it with stanzas, they question my mind but my shine will answer
