System can hold me and write all my bad moves, I speak to the old me and only in my dreams, it seems so enticing, the nice things on the tv, and I coulda' died cause the doctor wouldn't see me, then rise like the tide, it's a warm summer night and you're contemplating life, nothing's changed, except for everything, and nothing's the same for you and I'm to blame,
Take me, break me down, save me, let me drown, in what sustains me, won't sustain me now, Ohhh resides on his own, got nowhere to go, got nothing to show, just like days of old, that story's been told,
I'll just keep running my energy's been done and completely depleted but I can prove that I don't need it I can prove that I can see it, a prophecy completed, the music I don't dance to I'm rocking like the sea is, I saw the boss step to a gold soul that's yellower than pee is but I will not profit like he is cause I will not sell out like he did, and to all my regrets, it is no secret that I will keep running and I will stay focused and righteous and cunning and cursing like locust, cause I'm angry, pissed at the world, they think I'm just cranky and mad at a girl, I got 1 million reasons why I never faltered, I married the journey left fear that the alter, when the whole fucking world thinks it's banging your daughter and waste no more time they'll take me to the slaughter, she told me to go and I swear that I fought her, but the harder you pull they grab harder and harder, I shouldn't have started it or played a part in it, wake up a day and it became a part of me, gotta make it if it's hard to breathe, gotta see it, even if it's hard to see, that night the voice spoke to me, all the hope I had was feeling like a hoax to me, my sweetest friend I haven't seen you in so long, I stayed with the others and tried to hold my tongue, I called you my brother and watched you go so young, we're fighting a war and they crush the rebellion,
It's Hitler, Napoleon, and general Pyongyang, your beacon of hope it was shining like diamonds, the spiritual lyrical level that I'm on, oh how it's grown since the words of Old Saigon, and I've moved on, all that was certain was total destruction, the river went red and it smelled of corruption, and I'm long gone.
