I don’t think they can see me
I breath with a passion, I’m knee deep, believe me
Free from the factions we keep increasing
But struggle to reach between worlds that we’re dreaming
Needing some stronger emotions to feed me
Nurture like seedlings the hope that they’ll free me
Cut by the seemingly open deceiving
I write what I must get out to stop bleeding

Meaning: I could have played any game I chose
I love it all, but nothing keeps me sane like flows
Wanna be quiet, ain't talk the way I compose
True compassion is honorable silence for foes
But arguments burst in private and it’s hellish
My hate turns inwards for being selfish
That’s why I gotta put it down right here
I might fear that I’ll never be known and disappear

So fuck putting out a false description
Encrypting as little as I can
Inscriptions and rhythms draw a straight line to my soul
So listen or don’t, I’m still gonna take control of my art
'Cause I do it for me
I do it how I want and I would do it for free
Already done it that way for many years
If my shit gets weird it’s ‘cause I’m growing and changing, do you hear?

Came to think alone
There’s no gift as great as truth
I’ll show it

The only conquest that be bringing peace and happiness
Gotta be the one internally making you act the best
It’s a match; a test – so light a match to this
And illuminate reality, get back to this
Recognize what you feel, gotta practice this
To know yourself properly and detach from it
This ain't a latch I click, it ain't a bag of tricks
I must see and identify the real magic

Peel back this hatch and then just imagine that you couldn’t relate no matter where you roamed
So you leave your home for long roads to learn if a quest for meaning's worth dying alone
There have been times when the moon shines down or the smoke from the fire you built has you reflecting
Then one day you remember there was something back there, deep in your heart, you been fucking protecting
Maybe there was a person who touched you, looking in your eyes she saw something and loved you
Maybe it was a thing that another had said and you never realized how much it rung true
Get your shit together with that thing in your head, ready, retrace your steps, know what you must do
But when you make it back, you find everyone’s changed and moved on; there’s no longer a place for you
