Lyrics

I'm not interested in listening
Your input is irrelevant
I try to write sometimes
I'd rather fight just for the hell of it
Ask me where my head is at
Then pull my body out the wreck
Not the type to suffer other motherfucker's disrespect
A mirror image, you self reflect
A photo finish, it's picturesque
Rather live in peace than rest in it
Say I gave my best
Didn't stop to count the times I sounded stupid like the rest
When it comes to the ambition that I put up on display
I don't typically give much consideration to the way
These other people wanna ogle me and say I got potential
Wonder if the sickness illing me is strictly mental
Elemental
Watch me turn into a flame
Then maybe we can decorate the ceiling with my brain
Put that shit in a frame, and then proclaim
The last sane thought of a man
Who said he had his head in the game
I'm only free if I'm only me
Not someone I'm told to be
Adrift in an open sea
Cause I'm dead like a reckoning
I burn like an effigy
A human catastrophe
And I don't think I'm asking too much
Solace in the solitude
An atom bomb's a light touch
So what exactly are you here for
Why the hell you sweating me
Tell me that you care more
Everybody's got a "valuable" take
But what they're calling positivity
The shit is so fake
They say that hate is a strong word
Well I can relate
Ain't got the time for their weak nerve
Now finish your plate
Because I'm wavering in patience for these fucking debates
And I'm adamantly telling you
Get outta my face
I guess it's cool you think you know me
But I've just gotta say
I think you're taking a wrong turn
Best stay in your lane
I don't need you motherfuckers
Always going over, under
Only speculate and wonder
Never wanna seek the truth
So you listen good and listen well
You whistle with the mission bell
In other people there is hell
The devil lives in you
When the light falls, hits the ground and the night crawls
The tight walls, circle round and then fright calls
A slight pause, then it's more of the same
Guess you couldn't tell the difference from importance and fame
And they don't have a fucking clue
People barely know themselves
But they apparently know you
Search for solace in the raindrops
Hoping that the thunder will continue till the pain stops
I find unity uninteresting
You and me can take the shit outside and settle differences
Rolling up like Sisyphus, opposing the grain
Rest in power to the dissidents, Elijah McClain
In the anger and the sorrow and the hatred
There is poetry
For meaning in the suffering
You gotta source it locally
Conditioning they put you in
Has got you reeling socially
Repression's fucking bad for you
So I'mma do this vocally
Fuck your precepts
Fuck your ignorance
Fuck your bigotry, your apathy, your prejudice
So devout and now you're sounding kinda militant
Others go without and then you're suddenly ambivalent
I heard it's said back in the fables of old
That the moral of the story is to do what you're told
And at times it seems that life is just too fragile to hold
Cause we favor all the fortune but forget to be bold
The only comfort I can find is staring out into space
Seems with any show of innocence they stifle the flames
Act like harmony and dissonance are one in the same
They say the house always wins
So why the fuck do we play
