[Phase 1]
These nights I'm feeling more restless
Ashamed that I'm living so reckless
Betraying my core, decaying through war
But who am I to confess this mess it's
Quite the predicament
I feel the ice in my ligaments
I do not like to still stick to this
Cycle of sealing it
All 'til it's too hard to deal with it
Plus I just don't have the skill to get
Far with the bars some consider sub-par
Pardon my flaws
I am quick to withdraw
Part of my pa but I'm more like my ma
I don't speak 'til I peak
And can't handle the scars
In the land of the lost
Where the past is the present
A master of masking my presence
Reserving my blade
For when there's a need
Creating a mark when I leave
[Phase 2]
Some memories never fade
I want to make it to better days
I'm trying to elevate seven ways
My soul and flesh start to segregate
Kick the gate and go ballistic in my cage
Fists of rage
I throw fits when I flip the page
I don't quit
I forget to raise
And then hit 'til I bust
And combust in the quickest daze
I miss the days when times were cool
But not perfect
Whole lot of pain and change but still worth it
Came with a gang
Named by the flame
I did not want a blunder to end this reign
But here I stand
Tried too hard to be my own man
Wielding my steel
When I feel there's a challenge
Two guilds to this field
But we heal with the balance
[Phase 3]
I'm fighting battles I'll never win
Sick but neglecting my medicine
"It can get hectic, don't let 'em in"
Stuck in this game with no letter-man
Better bend if you don't break
No telling what it won't take
As I watch it rotate
I can feel my throat ache
Screaming no way
I can find no way
Okay, need a whole new phase
Give me two days, I can Usain
In a new lane, if I do say
Two sides to me called a ucetray
And I might lack
But I think that I'm getting my life back
Chest was feeling like an ice pack
Vice grip had a slight slack
Gotta tighten that I'm a titan to any foe
I got brothers that'll give and go
I got others that won't give a glance
Take an advantage at any chance
We do not worry though
Run for 20 and get 30 mo
That's a Great Divide
Shouldn't care about being perfect
Just being worth it in my Maker's eyes
Too many vacant lies, I don't occupy
That's the wrong way, octopi
Took the long way, I'll survive
Not an optimist, but I optimize
Look into my eyes, tell me what you see
I don't polish any of my cutlery
I mean I barely eat, I don't care to speak
I won't spare a leech, so don't blare to me
My whole life I've been getting treated
Like I was defeated as a fetus
Give me a reason why you speak
Like I'm a heathen
Barely breathing, bringing it back
To when I needed to be treated
Seething at the mouth
Believing that my purpose was depleted
Pleading
I need more than just a helping hand
Skipped the pot, I'm in the melting pan
Overflowing, so you know it's danger
To my own people I feel like a stranger
I don't trip on it or spill the beans
Keep moving forward like centipede
Can't let 'em feed off my energy
Took too much time to assemble these
Intricate symbols and similes
I am a product of all I possess
I've got some things that I need to confess
Hope they don't wait to love me 'til I'm gone
They tell me no one wants to be alone
But you don't know me like you think you do
And you don't really know what I think of you
It's like I'm trying harder to defy my Father
If I slip much further, I won't get much farther
I play with a deck full of jokers and aces
So either I fail or reach greatness
See me coming out of stasis
I'm just running, skipping bases
Scoring regardless
Of course I've been pardoned
I'm part of a parliament
We just don't work the same
And we don't take part in the circus games
We only listen to certain strains
Certainly strange
But things have been more so
We just aim straight for the torso
If ever I lose to the forces within
Don't let me continue to spin
[Outro]
Don't let me continue to spin
I lose and I win, again and again
A draw if I slip when I spin
Feel lost in my skin
It's costing me yen
But still I continue to spin
Whenever I fin
My next of kin can let it continue to spin
Don't let me continue to spin
I lose and I win, again and again
A draw if I slip when I spin
Don't let me continue to spin
I lose and I win, again and again
A draw if I slip when I spin
These nights I'm feeling more restless
Ashamed that I'm living so reckless
Betraying my core, decaying through war
But who am I to confess this mess it's
