How Many

How many songs can I write about death
How many songs can I write about anxiety
And how many grunges can I hold onto
In the deepest depths of the caverns inside of me
How many songs can I write about love
How many songs can I write about wealth
And how many times can I bring up trying
To gain the strength to improve my mental health
I'm a little embarrassed these words got me sounding like Holden
I got places to go but I feel like I'm snowed in
I wish I stood for the people like somebody like Snowden
But alas, I'm an unused chair - folding
I wanna be someone unique
I wanna be some heard
But all I do is complain, am I locked out of my brain
Feeling like the worlds gone cold
I wanna be someone unique
I wanna be some heard
But all I do is complain, am I locked out of my brain
Feeling like the worlds gone cold
How many songs can I write about grieving
How many songs can I write about living
How many times can I try to escape
The burdens surrounding the world that we live in
How many songs can I write about writing
How many songs can I write in a rhyme
And how many times can I think about being
A slave to language and measurable time
I'm a little self-conscious I'm still sounding like Holden
Consumed by the feelings that I always seem to hold in
I shut people out as to not let the cold in
I got dealt a good hand, why am I considering folding
I wanna be someone unique
I wanna be some heard
But all I do is complain, am I locked out of my brain
Feeling like the worlds gone cold
I wanna be someone unique
I wanna be some heard
But all I do is complain, am I locked out of my brain
Feeling like the worlds gone cold
How many songs can I write about death
How many songs can I write about anxiety
And how many grunges can I hold onto
In the deepest depths of the caverns inside of me
How many songs can I write about love
How many songs can I write about wealth
And how many times can I bring up trying
To gain the strength to improve my mental health
(How many songs can I write about grieving
How many songs can I write about living
How many times can I try to escape
The burdens surrounding the world that we live in
How many songs can I write about writing
How many songs can I write in a rhyme
And how many times can I think about being
A slave to language and measurable time)
How many songs can I write about my feelings
How many songs can I write about my feelings
How many songs can I write about my feelings
How many songs can I write about

My words hold me captive
I created the cage I choose to be trapped in
The mirrors always laughing
So i disappear like magic and reappear tragic
As my foot now dangles from the neck of a rabbit
My mind's opening up new tabs like acid
Burned so many bridges the river is now ashes
My inner dialogue is a bit too savage
But apologies are a dime a dozen
I need to feel like a million bucks
I said I'd be there when I really wasn't
That was the end of discussion - can we end the percussion
My cluttered teeth are casualtys
Sailing over troubled seas
I'm drowning in the subtleties - so I'll just
Remain silent like the sound of subtle's b's
I wish my days weren't so empty
What's so wrong with a little relief
To stop the pain I've already
Gone too far like you wouldn't believe
My mind can be abusive
I try to shut it out, but these thoughts are intrusive
My dreams are rarely lucid
And the lack of control makes me feel like I'm stupid
Or at the very least, had a few screws loosened
But when I chip in two cents, I feel like a nuisance
So maybe I'm just lost among the humans
And I should just cut myself off like some loose ends
But alienation is not the answer
I'm trying fight with all my might
I feel just like a breathing cancer
So lower the anchor and encase me in amber
My thoughts they seem to hinder me
As I fade into obscurity
Strangled by the inner me, so I can just
Revel in the everlasting fear of infinity
I wish my days weren't so empty
What's so wrong with a little relief
To stop the pain I've already
Gone too far like you wouldn't believe
I wish my days weren't so empty...

From a city that turns a blind eye to those
In raggity clothes, with a jesus christ pose
Got me feeling like an uncle that just took your nose
But I suppose, that's just how it goes (yea)
Tell your homies you love them
And if they're still around maybe you can hug them
'Cause you never know what my dude future can carry
Existence reserves the right to remain scary
Thirty plus years into trying to find my place
My goals cleared up with the acne from my face
Anxiety grows like some unwanted body hair
Scaling the fourth wall to get the heck up out of here
Fuck around and catch some emotional growth
Spaceship pulls up, hop in, headed home
We're all doing what we can to feel a little less alone
Set a drink more water reminder on your phone
Trying to see words a little more clearer
Making friends with the people in the mirrors
It'll hit you right in the feelers
Hit you right in the feelers
Trying to see words a little more clearer
Making friends with the people in the mirrors
It'll hit you right in the feelers
Hit you right in the feelers
What was thought of as normal was really normative
Cornered within corridor, I’m informed by this
No corps for this mega existential war I’m in
Of course it’s shit, the stench of death is stenciled sorely in
I see the symbiosis strapping system and individual
I channel Pythagoras to space the fuck out in intervals
This script of mine is without divine, but still holds principle
My moral code can stand alone, it’s universally applicable
But is it enough to preserve my own flesh?
Heart beat at fast rate to spite my own chest
A paranoia exists within me
Afropessimism won’t shift my 16’s
Time-space moving at shit-my-britch speed
So I scan all of those circumstances
I cannonball with no circus dancers
I’ll be damned if that involves certain cancers
You can’t have thought of them as cannon fodder
I caterwaul with that pertinent anger
No cameras on it’s just damaged, lost like
Goddamn Savan, you best search for answers
Trying to see words a little more clearer
Making friends with the people in the mirrors
It'll hit you right in the feelers
Hit you right in the feelers
Trying to see words a little more clearer
Making friends with the people in the mirrors
It'll hit you right in the feelers
Hit you right in the feelers
Trying to see words a little more clearer
Making friends with the people in the mirrors
It'll hit you right in the feelers
Hit you right in the feelers
Trying to see words a little more clearer
Making friends with the people in the mirrors
It'll hit you right in the feelers
Hit you right in the

Heartbeats and Melodys
02:48

Head above the clouds, enlightened by the sound, of my heartbeat
I can feel it in the ground, I was lost and now I found, you make my soul speak
Feeling less alone, I guess I found my home, as my thoughts leak
The moon soothes the earth, in the way that, you once told me, can you hold me
I just wanted to say, sorry for my
Flawed communication and patience at times
I'm sorry my mental can be a bit much
But I appreciate the calming state of your touch
I'm sorry for the way that it may make you feel
When I struggle to say how exactly I feel
I'm thankful for the ways you help me to see
The person I am and the one I can be
And I can feel the sun in the sky
So I don't fear the troubles of this life
Back by the nuance, the nuance of the breeze
If I am the rhythm, would you be my melody
Head above the clouds, enlightened by the sound, of my heartbeat
I can feel it in the ground, I was lost and now I found, you make my soul speak
Feeling less alone, I guess I found my home, as my thoughts leak
The moon soothes the earth, in the way that, you once told me, can you hold me
And I just wanted to say, thank you for caring
Thanks for showing love to a soul once barren
Thanks for sharing a little part of you with with me
And doing everything in your power to lift me
Thanks for hearing me as I talk through my trauma
And being a smile in this world full of drama
It's hard to express all I'm thankful for
When you're everything in this world to me, and more
And I can feel the sun in the sky
So I don't fear the troubles of this life
Back by the nuance, the nuance of the breeze
If I am the rhythm, would you be my melody
If I am the rhythm (yea)
If I am the rhythm (yea)
If I am the rhythm (yea)
If I am the rhythm, would you be my melody

Eyes close

Where do I go when my eyes close
Face the fact that only I knows
Fixed on the place of these ten toes
Where do I go, where do I go
I contemplate fate bumping an unfinished Roebus One tape
-- We all need a form of escape
It's like the tree in the forest when no one is around
Does it even make a sound, and how would you know
It goes one for the worm food, two for your soul
Three for this unexplained need to feel whole
Running for the light when you start to get cold
And the days getting old, and the days getting
You got a wallet full of cards and dead prez
Well my wallets full of cards from some lost friends
God please make it rain on the day that I die
So i can finally see a means to an end
I'm just trying to understand this thing called life
And attempting to figure out what happens after
Fuck your standards, I got my feet in the shark pool
As my soul stays suspended fromthe rafters, like
Where do I go when my eyes close
Face the fact that only I knows
Fixed on the place of these ten toes
Where do I go, where do I go
When Roebus rapped 'There's a monkey on my back
Pointing his finger laughing', motherfucker, I felt that
I wanna be present when matter is redefined
Beyond all limits of this construct mind
So we dance for the light, and we dance for salvation
We dance to the static of our thoughts between stations
Trying to fill the void of our mortal limitations
We need vindication, we need vindi--
There's been many times I've chocked o regret
As my mind travels time and it won't relent
So I try to escape the shackles of fate
And free the memory of birth from a fugue state
I just wish I knew why it is we're here
And I wanna know where we might be going
Fuck your god, I'll graffiti my own casket
Waiting on forever, when theres no way of knowing, like
Where do I go when my eyes close
Face the fact that only I knows
Fixed on the place of these ten toes
Where do I go, where do I go

Since the jump you weren't supposed to bring up your feelings
Abuse passed down from the floor boards to the ceilings
Head stay tilted from these one side of earrings
Hat broke off, am I starting to see things
Walls flyered with toxic masculinity
Couch surrounded by unread books like where the fuck you sending me
Not to play to cliches, but I think I am my own worst enemy
Fuck all the buzz, 'cause, I never found the friend in me
Losing my head like I'm Lincoln or Kennedy
Shots fired from the grassy knoll of insecurity
Dumping fake buckets of blood on your purity
Temper stays the length of your hair cut
And then what, motherfucker we been stuck
Sticking hands in warm water to make your fiends pissed
Fuck around and graduate to misogynist
And yea I know that we can do better
There's more to talk about than sports and the weather
Stick your chest in and keep the bass out your voice
A willingness to be open puts weight to your voice
I wanna rejoice, I need to repent
I wanna convey its ok to blow hot air and vent
I wanna say its ok to not be
There's a way to move passed the mundane monotony
Of everyday life, and its ok to be nice
Its ok to say sorry and ask for advice
I wanna tell all my platonic friends that I love them
Before they're six feet tectonic and I'm kneeling above them
Like why, why, why god, why
Why does it feel so shameful to cry
Why did I live, when they had to die
And what the fuck does it mean to really be alive
Boys, boys, boys don't cry
Reaching for help with your hands in the sky, like
Boys, boys, boys don't cry
Reaching for help with your hands in the sky, like
Boys, boys, boys don't cry
Reaching for help with your hands in the sky, like
Boys, boys, boys don't cry
(Reaching for help with your) ..boys don't cry
