Verse 1:

I peel back the source of mine
reveal what I store at times
that's how I deal with the wars inside
there isn't an option, I feel like I'm forced to rhyme
and keep it real with these morbid lines
I'll keep whatever's left, buried deep within my head
'til the day I get deleted from this mess
this is me, releasing all the stress
making songs with artists that have never seen me in the flesh
I think instead of sleeping in my bed
instead of saving myself I'm looking for a beacon of distress
put the battle tracks down, I'm leaving them to rest
to speak from the organ that is beating in my chest
accepted the fact I only know a little bit
if anything at all on this globe I'm spinning with
cold and disciplined, known for dissonance
while living in this matrix I'm told we're living in

Chorus:

I hope you're listening, tone is villainous
dissect individual quotes with diligence
analyze a broken lyricist
take a knife to his body of work.. expose the ligaments
I hope you're listening, tone is villainous
dissect, individual quotes with diligence
analyze a broken lyricist
take a knife to his body of work.. expose the ligaments

Verse 2:

I was addicted to drugs, was a junky in the past
I made it through the jungle with a monkey on my back
I'm resilient to the core, trust me I'ma last
I just need family not to judge me for my past
speaking of regrets
knowing that regardless the path I choose it'll be leading to my death
even if the fans are completely unimpressed
I'ma keep writing bars to the beat that's in my head
looking back, thinking of the loss I was scarred with
haunted by the memories of all who departed
I'm lost in the darkness, trying to evolve as an artist
while using every song as catharsis
slow conditioning, everything I wrote's ridiculous
I appear to you as ghostly images
try and focus, yet you won't envision it
just realize you are not remotely sick as him

Chorus:

I hope you're listening, tone is villainous
dissect individual quotes with diligence
analyze a broken lyricist
take a knife to his body of work.. expose the ligaments
I hope you're listening, tone is villainous
dissect, individual quotes with diligence
analyze a broken lyricist
take a knife to his body of work.. expose the ligaments
