Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Words comin' forth like water from the tap
Clap tracks line the spaces places papers people stack
Backtrack through the minutes when the thoughts went insane
I pulled the picture off the cover and blew out the mind games
[Verse 2]
People say this is the playlist of the void non-bound
But I can say this is the plainness of the peace I've found
It's not the sorrow or the pity that we hope to dismantle
It's just the cast of past dice lighting both ends of the candles
[Verse 3]
Scandal-escent in the means I have dreamed on the schemes
Reunited in the times of such picturesque scenes
Can I get a witness to testify?
Open your eyes, realize, electrify
[Verse 4]
So I plan and I scam and write it off on my taxes
It's times like these I'll just go with the decisions of the masses
And to the crowds who've come before with their profit massing ways
I took the greed that fucked it up and brought it down to today
[Verse 5]
With pain I stand sane and remain holding strong
Whilst all around me those who clowned me are now drowning by the throngs
It's illogical the actions that are typically displayed
A set back ain't all that much problem to invade
[Verse 6]
So I will glow like a lantern on a new moon night
I'll fight violence with these hands that weren't built to fight
But like a furnace burning coal, my goals are bound to burn in flames
Whether achieved or dismantled by the agendas displayed
[Verse 7]
Can I get a witness to testify?
Open your eyes, realize, electrify
