Broken record Same old shit they played that forever Broken record How much more can they repeat themselves How much more that you need their pills "Take two in the morning repeat", that's health Broken record Selling that same old shit that they reckoned Broke-broke-Broken record Stuck on loop same shit now forever Broken record Stuck in the way they wanna stigmatize Tucking away too many big-pharm lies And sucking away they wanna rig our lives Broken record Blame their game they say that's whatever Nah they don't recognize No they don't live our lives Nah they won't ever know Until they realize Broken record Stuck on loop same shit now forever Broken record Stuck on loop same shit now forever For the record Broken down insane no effort For the record They don't know how people grow Never allow the deep unknown, No digging it out may keep us slow For the record They don't say that shit on record Off off record Painted skin and leopard (Rrahh) Off off record Danger's in alotta people's lives Tainted in the way they equalize A shame for them is where the sequel dies Off off record Erase that shit now forever Nah they don't recognize No they don't live our lives Nah they will never know Until they realize Broken record Stuck on loop same shit now forever Broken record Stuck on loop same shit now forever Pretend and bluff They say they makin moves Deep in a rut Replayin' on a groove (Stuck on loop same shit now forever) Broken record Stuck on loop same shit now forever Broken record Stuck on loop same shit now forever

Maybe I was meant to live another life Maybe the path I'm taking is filled with demons All around, they bring me down I'm talking in my sleep I hear the sounds I can't feel myself, wanna heal myself Suicidal thoughts thinkin I wanna kill myself More olanzapine, helps untie the knots And I meditate escape outta my inner thoughts Livin in a cold shell, cold shell Cold shell, every day's like hell It's not something I'm proud of try my best done get up out of The sunken place that I'm livin in (In in in) I'm afraid to go to sleep I feel paralysis I try to outrun spirits every time I'm dreamin All around they chase my down I'm walkin in my sleep then I hit the ground When I wake can't believe this is reality The doctors tell me something's wrong with my mentality If you walked up in my shoes maybe you would lose it too "You can fill up your prescription doesn't mean that I will listen" Livin in a cold shell, cold shell Cold shell, every day's like hell It's not something I'm proud of try my best done get up out of The sunken place that I'm livin in (In in in) Hearin' me call Call to my soul, come fill this hole Call Call to my soul, come fill this hole Mirror mirror mirror on the wall Lookin at you it's obvious that you hate me Tell me whatchu feelin' don't hold back I wanna hear it Slowly disconnecting from my self Livin in a cold shell, cold shell Cold shell, every day's like hell It's not something I'm proud of try my best done get up out of The sunken place that I'm livin in (In in in) Cold shell, cold shell Cold shell, every day's like hell It's not something I'm proud of try my best done get up out of The sunken place that I'm livin in (In in in)

Should I wither and die, the happy lie? Can I get by on hearts and likes? I look in the mirror I don't recognize, or will I resurrect myself and rise? Another try, or the happy lie? Should I get high, replace spiritual tie? I look in the mirror I don't recognize, or will I resurrect myself and rise? I'm gonna resurrect myself, find my better self No use for the world's wealth without better health Healing harmed Full habits formed to protect myself It's easy to slip, drowning in life's currency counterfeit, contradict Wading in waves on a sinking ship Reality distort, false looks correct I'm re-writin' my story descript I'm claiming authorship gettin' on top of these mountains, my problems, not yet accepted it Let go of the low death, improperness Turbo graphics, Genesis Amygdala playing old school games Jerk response on repeat like (Broken Record) Defeat repeat like (Broken Record) insane Since way when, it's been the same Need to update the code cause times have changed I've learned how to survive since my turn as an innocent child Can I get a grip? Can I come back from this (Skid) turn back the damage I did Can you forgive? (Can we forgive, can I forgive) Can we forgive? (Can we forgive) Should I wither and die, the happy lie? Can I get by on hearts and likes? I look in the mirror I don't recognize, or will I resurrect myself and rise? Another try, or the happy lie? Should I get high, replace spiritual tie? I look in the mirror I don't recognize, or will I resurrect myself and rise? I'm trapped again in the twists and bends of my mind Staring at a summit too high to climb Suffering corrupt thought pattern design and it's (Daunting) Very very (Daunting) I don't need your shit, I got my own tings People are wanting, they bring whole dump trucks I don't need my thoughts muddied up I'll tell you, they muddy enough I'm drowning slipping from the life raft trynna multi-task, speed into the crash I can't get it off so long wearing this mask my emotional trash got me embracing for last I look in the mirror, call myself to task, I ask Can I get a grip? can I come back from this (Skid) turn back the damage I did Can you forgive? Die, the happy lie? Can I get by on hearts and likes? I look in the mirror I don't recognize, or will I resurrect myself and rise? Another try, or the happy lie? Should I get high, replace spiritual tie? I look in the mirror I don't recognize, or will I resurrect myself and rise?

I've seen the light Some say it's too bright For their eyes But you must realize You take me higher High in the sky You take me higher High in the sky-y High-high-high-high High-high (High) High-high-high-high High-high (High) I've seen my Goddess within She makes my head spin In the most creative ways I guess she heard me pray She loves the way I move High power (Oooh) I wear my armor deep within My desires outwin I feel the grace Within the truth When I seek, you You come through I've seen the light Some say it's too bright For their eyes But you must realize You take me higher High in the sky You take me higher Deep in the night-night Night-night-night-night Night-night, night Night-night-night-night Night-night I'm not afraid of my power within I'm not afraid, you can do (do) I'm not afraid, you can do you sin (Stand!) This is me, this is who I am Watch my wings expand I can feel you, deep in my bones Although they never told the story of the bold I feel it deep in my bones Try to take a hold Watch the story of the bold But here I am Try to take a hold Watch the story unfold (Mmmm-mmmm)

Had to sit with it, had to do the work Had to look at myself, had to look at my mind, had to look at my health Started listenin', was a broken record now I see dots and they're all connected Yeah they're all connected Treated my mind like the enemy, had to be there Recognizing the person I had to be had to go there now I know yeah Cannot treat my mind like it is the enemy Tune into higher frequencies and I hear the melodies (yeah the melodies) Why won't you move to Somewhere away where I can untune you What I'm feelin', oh what I'm feelin' but I live with it But I can sit with it, yeah I can sit with it Sit with and wither the pain, went away when I Came out my shell to untune you When I'm feelin', no longer feelin', what a fee-li-in'! Feel what I'm feelin', I know that something is healin' Feel what I'm feelin' something is healin' peel off my mask I begin to reveal it I give it love and I heal it, I cannot push it away Lookin' for something that's realer, I'm comin' out to me moment yeah I gotta be there Sometimes you gotta isolate, go within Dive into the darkness But sometimes yeah I need my people Kick it with the tribe liftin' up the vibe shinin' on a light Sometimes I need my tribe Why won't you move to Somewhere away where I can untune you What I'm feelin', oh what I'm feelin' but I live with it But I can sit with it, yeah I can sit with it Sit with and wither the pain, went away when I Came out my shell to untune you When I'm feelin', no longer feelin', what a fee-li-in'! Had to sit with it Had to get with it Had to dive deep into the darkness, now I get litty! Had to get with it When I'm feelin' low yeah I sit with it Yeah I sit with it (Yeah-yah) Dark days dark ways lost in a maze some days But some days I got light days blessin' light waves Open up my eye I can see now I can be myself I can be now I am free now On the dark days I can sit with it Done with the violence sittin' in silence dream of a tropical beach on the Phillipines I'm on an island Look into the water crystal clear, lookin' for the truth I know it's near Embrace the love and embrace the fear Why won't you move to Somewhere away where I can untune you When I'm feelin', no longer feelin', what a fee-li-in'!

Ink 03:44
I'm on my way from here to Timbuktu I'm on my way, to somewhere new Along my way I leave a scene in blue All on one page, the ink is used What a shame, that we live In a jade, all within Our doubts But I take, what it is And I save, no leaving Any out All the ink it bled from all events On a link it lead results and end All the ink it made a lovely mess And I leave this change with all the rest All the ink it lead all of it All the ink it bled one event All the ink it made all will end And I leave this page move on the next On the next One scene in blue One scene in blue Wonder why I get another day I wonder how, alive awake All under cover every binded page Is in my book in every way No way to control it No way to control the paper Highlights are in a week or later Highlights are in the book the maker Don't know who wrote it Don't know who wrote a script on My life has got a mystery with Nine lives but I been through three The ink it came, all the pain Unique this change, results in gain The ink it made a lovely mess Unique the page, all the rest All the ink it lead, all of it All the ink it bled, one event All the ink it made, all will end And I leave this page move on the next On the next One scene in blue One scene in blue The ink it lead, all of it The ink it bled, one event The ink it made, all will end I leave the page, on the next On the next
