yawn 03:40
Constantly I wake up to a grey day Adults never miss a chance to say I'm in my heyday Handing in my life like it's my work but I'm a day late Visions of a vaca but I'm told I have to vacate I stay late Sitting there staring at the wall wait Eyes rolling back into my skull I'm bound to fall Stray all day and regain my focus in the night Welcoming the darkness smiling wide at the dying light I might go in one direction or the other No drug can satisfy this addict and his lover Using shadows as a road and using shade for cover Doing my best to make proud my dad and mother Rapping like im auctioning but only on a smallscale Expectations set so low I suspect that I'll fail But at least I accept that there is always someone better I'll still get my welcome to the game acceptance letter I'm building my empire with writer's block on sand God told us not to but We didn't understand Raise up a fist to power but looks like a show of hands It's morning soon and I'll be mourning darkness in this land Yawn In the night I'm alright In the shadows I am on Yawn Don't know what to think now Always had a plan I made it happen when it's written down But now it's not up to me to fit the crown I promise honest I won't let myself hit the ground After the kick off Initially I thought success came easy but I was off Aim for neither gold or green and roses aren't my thing But I wouldn't mind a nice place where I can sleep in a loft As of now? Consider me lost That's what I consider myself and it's what I caused Pause for a moment Enjoy the flaws Seem to slink away from rain or shine today I lost my job But in fact I don't want to keep my day job at a loss I'm tired cause I sleep on these kids that are soft I'm in tune with the tomb Rooms alone with Miss Croft Think twice about your life and weight the cost Of going big, think after I open my jaws and Yawn say hello to my shadows I just can't win this battle Yawn

deep breath 05:01
Hold up, slow though always solo I am Frodo Damn see Baggin the end Samwise Gamgee touch my hand I plan to be in the end, on the edge I'm god said god Love all who love me No ball then no street Keep calm and know me Plenty of time to go hard No time so don't start Hard to match Catch the call Cats and claws Clam's involved Evolve to Cash Roll up Breathe in breathe out Deep breath x3 This world it, how can I deep breath In through the nose Out through the mouth Shout, Out, Loud, Now No sound to cloud our life One night we might be light All night alright Repetition You don't know what you're missing Forget counting sheep Count back 100 deep Breathe free Breathe easy Know what i'm talking bout? I sleep Can't stop the stream Light is green when you live the dream Only God can i be redeemed What is being awake if I can't sleep Tell me please How can i? Deep breath x3 This world it, how can I deep breath Alarm went off and I hate the noise Wish i could wake up overjoyed Instead in comes the flood Of stress and breath leaves me destroyed Glance over at the blinds Try to rise but the light in me dies Filtering through is the sun roll over as if i was merely scared of outside Whoa now calm down Slow the heart Beating fast As the tears start Blink away and as they fade So too does the room and i welcome the dark I'm conscious again Makes me wonder where the dream ends Are you really real here with me now Or is my imagination running around Look at my id out of control Don't know what i did blame my ego Superficial in a waking state Free to think in a world of grey My childish mind blind to child's play Serious thought of blessed decay Here I lay Sing me song of Sigmund Freud My mind complex, Oedipus Wrecks Rob her son of joy Robertson cover this Lloyd God bless you please Mr. Robert's son In sleep I'm number one Awake I'm one of many No one out of the ordinary Let me be x4 This world it, how can i deep breath

ekat eno Starting off slow Little bit confused due to the fact that I don't know Where am I everything's grey and blurry And I'm stuck in the middle running now but no where to go Lost in my mind, in time? Am I fine? Am I dead is it the AM? Am I gonna wake up in bed? Breathing hard but breathing still Stop for a sec turn around and see the hill. Feel like I'm not alone gotta get away from everything even though I am prone To have danger find me Can't run away from what I can't see Therefore running to what I can is the only option for this man Stranger things have happened than this The hill looks inviting in a time such as this Run toward it as it runs towards me Despite the wide space i don't feel free I see a sign with no words In my head the message is heard I will be safe in the house A house appears as it leaves my mouth House on the hill Start to climb but lost the will Gotta find it as I think this The thing is behind me unseen but still with The need to feed I feel the greed With a heave I start to fill my lungs with air as I climb the hill As I climb My mind drifts and so do I I drift up as if I was flying high or water surrounds me I can't feel my feet I'm stuck in grey now I'm stuck in deep Sure enough I'm in the deep Ocean cold all around Suck the life as I float around I know I'm not alone still Something grabs me and pulls me down Down down down don't stop Glance at my arm try to pinch But can't harm Myself help my skin hard as a rock I can still breathe it's a mystery I feel a pain it feels real to me My mind shifts and I hear a faint buzzing a light year Away i blink and I'm back to grey blink again and I'm awake Numbness in my feet and hands Hard to think I don't understand I'm in a daze a sharp Pain shooting straight up my leg.

Dark is the night When lies start flooding in I keep you on my shoulder For a hint of life within I don't have much to say to you No prayers now worth anything But stay safe at the table Keep our eyes from closing in Verse 1: So what we got now? No time to hold back If doom is close by us we've gotta try us can't just fall flat I'm scared for the day when I have to say goodbye when she looks into my eyes and i say i'll be alright but she can tell when i lie she can tell when i lie So for tonight, i'll lay by her side With an arm around you I keep watch as the night goes by No nightmares can't touch you dear I'll keep safe from harm, yes I am here You have nothing to fear, this bed is ours to share memories and making more lying here i keep you warm pretty one that i adore And what if time passes and we don't stay close enough to see eachother everyday i try my best to say a prayer where have you gone? i'll run to you i'll find you soon not too long On the taxi ride home you lay your head down, In my lap you let your hair down I remember the caramel and the golden brown I looked up at the stars and wondered if they're smiling now Dark is the night When lies start flooding in I keep you on my shoulder For a hint of life within I don't have much to say to you No prayers now worth anything But stay safe at the table Keep our eyes from closing in Verse 2: i'm sorry I'm in a dream i'm with when i'm asleep when ours souls can finally meet when i wake im alone again cold pillow no one's head on my shoulder i feel your smile through the phone again I want to feel you next to me I want you to know the rest of me be comfortable enough to share your history Mysteries unwind I try to find the time thats right around my mind so I can say a simple hi Why is that so difficult if i had it my way This would be more than the spiritual Emotion and love untangible from above I could hold you in my arms and tell you unashamed that you're the one i love too bad life got in the way, and age afraid to say what i want to say I would have told you to your face and never look away caught in you gaze and your embrace so you can call this spoken word, you can call it a poem, still it's a song, for the one that i love i only wish that she could know she used to be Miss Doesn't Care now she's just Miss Unaware come to think of it now, she's changed from a delicate brown to someone deeper and richer in colour and we've found a common ground Dark is the night When lies start flooding in I keep you on my shoulder For a hint of life within I don't have much to say to you No prayers now worth anything But stay safe at the table Keep our eyes from closing in

She told me I was only good for a sad song... Solid walls are closing in on us Broken hearts in pieces all around us We can't stay still forever We can't waste away together Everything is black and white No gray to blur the lines they cut through like a knife My eyes are open enough to see your face How did we get here? How did we end up in this place? How did we end up in this Dream State?

dream state 02:46
Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Verse 1: Keep it all black Take the colour out The dispair is here but we don't care We comfort the worn out All together we must conform To the norm In the sky it's fine but down on earth it storms We control the conflict We control where the bomb hits Prison break convicts running fast to the pulpit Salvation for the internation All welcome we could use the help from all call, but only if we want it Human race is a constant We won't keep it that way if we flaunt it We, who call this dream our home All things stare us down as we sit on our throne We see it as ours We claim as our own First we rest, then we sleep Then death release us from skin and bone Smile and charm the public eye No woman no cry Glass jar holds a rock heart Jumpstart the lie that nobody's special Just one in the same Everyone's a pawn In the chess game Verse 2: We all know when the dark hits Colour breaks through the carnage Race rakes at the small kids Media makes us the target Why white versus the black folk Obama showed us the black vote Now that they got Osama, comma Muslims walk on the tightrope Persecuted across the sea of thought I thought we thought all people equal Book of God Koran Torrah the horror outlawed We Allah'd Yahweh our way Vishnu and Buddha Who'dda thought the Isis crisis would surprised us but we all forgot Syria Ukraine Crimea I see ya your solid in state that's deteriorating all around us Can you hear the sound of The loud pound of some profound hush Hit the ground in the underbrush Form opinions they try to crush See yourself and hide the blush Rosy cheeks and pale features Scared still their faces flush Broken Dreams Classify into numbers Hide the sky Away they fly but what's the rush State your name Never claimed Dream of something outside the frame Box us in cause the mind is plain We only exist on this plane
