Dark ages Take a look at my book tell me what you find flipping in between these dark pages Did it taste, you relate, can you even maintain when you hear about these outrages Yeah it's kinda outrageous Be careful who you let in your light Cause everybody got dark faces It's a cold cold cold world, where did the sun get to? Talking to these old walls but they the only ones who get you When the past only one who miss you And your friends the only ones who ditch you Now you got to find your own tools if you really really wanna fix you I need to get back on track I turned to insomniac A megamega maniac A hyperactive-condriact don't even know how to act Now I'm so sick of these constraints I'm just trying to find a release Don't need no gold, no pearls, no jewels, I'm just trying to find some peace Where's my release, just trying to find some peace

It's like I told you I told you, try to convey my message, I swear it never goes through Shame shame it had to come to this Blame game now you got me pissed Don't make it a big deal cause then we'll end up making fists Is that what you want? I promise that you won't be missed Allow me to be crystal clear, I'll end this whole thing clean and crisp Don't make me touch on that subject, that sensitive one Heard your stories, still trying to make some sense out of one Thought we agreed to try to be specific Stare at my screen like you starting texting in hieroglyphics Going through the motions, man I ain't got time I just be recording, then you hit my line I just hit my drum set, I'm just feelin fine Do I wanna meet up? I'll have to decline What do I owe you? I started changing and moving like I'm supposed to Now you bitter & moody like I don't know you Trying to tell me that I did something wrong I can think for myself I can't please you Talk and tease you Can't have them pollute my mind So tell me how we both supposed win this time? I've always wanted the best for you When things were out of order, who would clean up the mess for you? I treated you like royalty, I went on a quest for you Now we distant strangers and you regret we came here Well, I'm not the type to linger on and on about who's right or wrong Or try the weave the webs of life we both just string along I'd rather put that energy into the universe where's it's needed And you wonder why it bites your hand, well look at what you feed it Lately I been keeping distance from the misfits You know the ones who say they got the point but probably missed it You know the ones who got the midas touch but so sensitive Pockets full but can't mind their own business Now I'm halfway gone, I'm moving on So far gone so far gone So don't expect anything (chii) What do I owe you? I started changing and moving like I'm supposed to Now you bitter & moody like I don't know you Trying to tell me that I did something wrong I can think for myself I can't please you Talk and tease you Can't have them pollute my mind So tell me how we both supposed win this time?

(I have you right where I want you. There is no escape.) Time and time again Round and rounds again I'm lost then found again Its getting tough to tough it out Reporting to you straight from the underground Every cry I try to make is unsound Every message I done sent is unfound Running out of options, quick someone pull me out now What's the point of my sobriety, when ironically it adds to my anxiety At least when under influence I don't worry bout being over influent or intuitive, I ain't new at this Think I'm in a crisis but I might just be emo Need a cure to my cancer, I'm just done with the chemo Something wrong in my head, can't describe what I'm feelin Despite what's on the outside, you don't know what I deal wit Never felt more alone in my whole life, Giving what's left, hoping I'm right Crave radiance but I lack light God in my right ear, devil on the left side (Keep doing what you're doing. You're not happy. You're pathetic.) (You know it to be true. Don't let them take your peace.) Time and time again Round and rounds again I'm lost then found again Its getting tough to tough it out This ain't a pity party, believe it's the real deal It's cold cruel world if you can't tell My problems ain't like yours but I still have them Do I do this myself or guided by the phantoms Naw I ain't talkin bout ghost, I'm talking bout the hidden unavoidable voices you be trusting the most Yeah I know we got a choice, but who's to stay that I been making them when I faking my way out through the noise This repetition started to get the best of me I go against the current, now I'm drowning in the depths of me My failure predetermined, naw I can't accept that destiny You causing my disharmony, I change that to my melody, my remedy I could run and hide, Maybe I suppose But even in demise, you have been exposed Now my inner me knows who you are, so I can say you won't Cause the enemy you know is better than the one you don't

This has gone on longer than it was supposed to Doing everything that I was so opposed to I may not regret this, I've already said this, I need Anything to get me through Anything to get me through the times Just to get a few things off my mind Knowing fully that I'm not the kind But I only think that half the time And I don't mean to sound so redundant Doing things that make you so reluctant Only my emotions ain't cheap though Playing games only with the cheat codes Putting everything on hold for you All it was was subtle substitute You know the deal, don't take me for a fool Treat myself, I'm takin more than two & Even though it's hard to admit it I knew you probably wouldn't get it It's hard to get out once you in it This has gone on longer than it was supposed to Doing everything that I was so opposed to I may not regret this, I've already said this, I need Anything to get me through So how bout you?
