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

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

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?

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
