I know I've been here once before
A light in the darkness
And I am so mindless
I'm so alone
A thousand times I heard the cry
Arrive at the doorway
And lie on the highway
Middle of nowhere
Left for no reason
Kickin and screamin
Burn away squealin
Rubber not even
Another match and we score
Striker, in just the right spot
Ive been blessed, lines crossed
Kill the beat, hide in the melody
Feel fly on the wall I could never see
True gods inside all youll ever be
A whole universe deep into the molecule
Long plank bridge but its rotten through
Stepping like wolf ready to hop
Howl, loud big mean gritty scowl
Proud, who gon' fuck with us now?
Coward, whole lot more by the hour
Power, well you can butter me up
Cause when the heat hits it'll scorch us
Old golden brown notorious
So fiery, so gorgeous
Let the flares go, I ignored them
You're a bad bad bad bad bad bad bad one but you know it
And you know this
Had a worn heart when I wrote this
Blowin smoke lookin old dish yeah
Goin all in for the potion
Oh you got half? throw it on black
Oops there she goes whole roll dummy
Emptied out, low blow to the tummy
You'll get no more from me
I know I've been here once before
A light in the darkness
And I am so mindless
I'm so alone
A thousand times I heard the cry
Arrive at the doorway
and lie on the highway
Nothin' in the back
Pop that latch as the seat lays flat
Couldn't do shit with a baseball bat
Look into the eye of a man through a mask
Careful with yours, as could be the last
Pedal to the metal, burn that gas
Let the wheels spin fast. let the wheels spin fast. Let the wheels-
Death is realized
Once fear has left you paralyzed
Only see things through our eyes
So what if the reflections lied
Hide, get outside
You are not in your right mind
Too smart, I wanna dumb down
Think of things straight bending thoughts now
Love found in an ignorant bliss
Wide eyed, starin at tits
Offended, well its open ended
Plastic in the ocean to show I meant it
Pull up on a garden in a truck, cement it
Plant based, army of ant slaves
Meat fed, off on a rampage
Just a pulled pin, no hand grenade, what?
You've lost some listeners, huh?
Whispers in a blizzard
Big lick off the back of witch lizard
Trip when the whole world flip, met the wizard
Whap, crack, caught the staff left some splinters
Back to reality - cold dirt nap is what happened actually
I woke up, mouth tastes like batteries
Oh make shape shift - you can't fake this
We've all broke it going hard
Cram them all in it's basic bullshit
Park the bus on the boulevard
Growing antlers, maybe horns
Not sure what for but there will be scars
Self inflicted, or maybe gifted
Lonely nights staring at the stars
I know I've been here once before
A light in the darkness
And I am so mindless
I'm so alone
A thousand times I heard the cry
Arrive at the doorway
and lie on the highway
All I hear is me, latency
Been this way since eight thirteen
That's the summer when these lines blurred
Gettin out soon time served
No buddies no close friends
All gone and we lost ends
Maybe see me when you lie flat
All in it was highjacked
All I hear is me, latency
Been this way since eight thirteen
That's the summer when these lines blurred
Gettin out soon time served
No buddies no close friends
All gone and we lost ends
Price we pay now to get the trap
One by one numbered back to back to back

Like it woke up
But with breath heavy
Slouched over felt the weight of a wet machete
Drip drip this fixation's on a path
Walked it like blacked out thoughts split in half
At the will of a tyrant
Breaking points are reinforced by aching joints
Things hidden but they have a voice
Like its hung there
Take the day, put another in a sun chair
You think that you're getting out?
Faith over fear say your prayers
And that one will hear you clear?
Well which god's which?
Takes two just to run this disk
In the hands that close the fist
Payback's a bitch, like someone snitched
Gut your belly, no bandaids, no Nelly
Snot infectious yet, but this air seems smelly
Another home cooked meal, another heart attack
Got the doctor in on the stat, where the cardiacs?
Get the paddles quick
Body's on the hook for a fix
Something bout a flatline, things stay still
Yes everything can be forgiven, just kneel
So who wants this football as a souvenir, right here
Human in the mirror
Complex brains can misunderstand direction,
One thumb can steer
Fourth in bat, paddle tapped across this table
Hollow ping pong ball tell me what's not a fable
Frowned as I threw the key away
I hide my eyes from this
The door from which a light emits
(I never open up)
Forever just a memory
I lift my flask and seek
To drown. but I am only waste deep
(I never open up)
No one fell, boy no one hit the ground
Well someone spit tobacco on Patsy's wedding gown
It was all soiled as the organ quivered
Surely you can't ignore these shivers
It's pourin out of me like it was supposed to river
Yeah these narrow streams they just dont deliver
I'll dig a new ditch in less than twentyfour hours
But time stands still when you've emptied your powers
There's no black magic here, its preimposed fear
Implememneted controls all the power's at the rear
Push button to start, keep em all keyless
Got em, linked up trippin over the roots
Yeah they all get an apple, this time from the teacher
Cardboard cutouts of families on their phones in the bleachers
Your kid's benched starin at feet, studying features
Another 30 second viral, all star sneakers
Frowned as I threw the key away
I hide my eyes from this
The door from which a light emits
(I never open up)
Forever just a memory
I lift my flask and seek
To drown. but I am only waste deep
(I never open up)
Felt like he escaped
But was it only for a minute?
This stream of consciousness has grown since the beginning
Well look at his rose, hmm quite deminished
Did he fail every test that he was given?
Did the reverend come a knockin'?
Did some poor people pop in?
Was narcicism still and always his biggest problem?
Caught starin' into his own reflection
Answering all of these questions, no need to mention

They seen a different view
Saw only what we knew
Was it worth it?
Check your optical feed
Another android's head blown off
Puttin' the kid to sleep
Now TWS looks like an air pod
Page'll need reconstruction
Facial scarring ther'll be adjustments
Families emotional, misses the butler
Dude asks Mary Poppins to hook us some butter
As the almost flawless young barista hands us our muffins and coffees
Smiles with a twinkle in her eye "Sir newer models, they don't explode"
Oh okay, morse code, sure wouldn't ask if the floor was cold
Ha, a good chuckle by all, as we hover back into the mall
Out of a hardened space
Up past the rubble, a distant room
Entered as they fled
Saw his own reflection scared half to death
Was it the missing flesh?
Or maybe surprised of how much was left?
He sat down and wept
Was it worth it?
No more nine to five, just to stay alive all it takes is a contribution
There are ways to get rich, 'cept now they got robots diggin that ditch
Still too many standing around watching, no breaks, no mistakes
Something broke, it gets replaced, too many people in my space, was it worth it?
Is it worth it? We did it all for you
These corporations are still basically formed
Locally loyalty raised us, okay left to be creative
It was right there edjucate 'em
Too much time spent on who hates us
We ran right out of patience
All the wiser, slower, weightless
Feel just slightly weighted, screwed in tight
Like they fuckin' got you to the ground
You probably tryna catch your breath right now
Still breakin new ground, shakin them roots down
The present day is filthy, but the new gear doesn't dirty
It's all gone techno again, guess you were right Moby
Are all these lonely nights the only light side to a very messy life
Right? Feeling stressed? Rest. Could it all be alright?
Don't believe the hype, Don't don't don't don't believe the hype
Was it worth it?
To put my heart on the shelf?
Be like him? be like you? be like everyone else?
Was it worth it?
To stab that heart on your sleeve?
You wear it there, cause you care, in your chest it feels bare
Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?

I can only give 'em what's left
I can only give 'em what's left
My best
They say music can heal 'em
Tell me you believe it
Open up the ceilings cause, we've been here before
And I don't need more reasons
All about my thesis
Kids excel at recess
So open up the doors
I've been blushin' and gushin' since the cherry popped
Big bad beast in the bush, now that's a scary thought
I'm not on some sick shit, tramplin' through your lady's fields
Im talking bout deep woods, creatures that can make you squeal
Vibrant colors, you would swear it's really there
Old man I met on the road told me not to stare
Captivated, it's got me in a trance, a message in a glance
We've met here before
I'll wait with one foot in the grave in a foreign place
Til' it's all in my head, when I hear it again I'll come around
Oh you're in a foreign whip? Well that's the same shit
I've been on my black stallion got the reigns stitched
Little Sichi hits, ooh that's the feature
Hooves trottin' over these keys, word to Alicia
Feels like a heater, in a two seater
With the one that you like or in the studio huggin' the mic
I'm in love with the life, or maybe I might
Just be frightened as hell but you could never tell
Cause I've been in this fantasy land, wave hi to me
You're cast in a real world dream, it's my movie
I even got the theme music, let me write to it
I'll probably roll out with the credits and no credit
Spit front to back with my verses, a few edits
Known to go hard on a bitch, you can ask Heather
And even if I weren't derranged and less better (My best)
Still wouldn't lay down or catch Zs til the last letter
They say music can heal 'em
Tell me you believe it
Open up the ceilings cause, we've been here before
And I don't need more reasons
All about my thesis
Kids excel at recess
So open up the doors
I'll wait with one foot in the grave in a foreign place
Til' it's all in my head, when I hear it again I'll come around
I'll wait with one foot in the grave in a foreign place
Til' it's all in my head, when I hear it again I'll come around

The Last God

I spent a thousand minutes,
Left the hours drifting,
Watch the grass grow I am just a coward listening
Never devour pearls
But yet the power burns
Like I was growin chops still getting my lolipops
Feel like everyone around me keeps 'em ducking cherries
Couple balls flyin' at ya, hit with a sack of berries
You might think we're talkin' dirty really actually fairly
Analytical, the truth I speak is often scary
A big builder of mole hills into bloody mountains
I let it go, a whole palace of frozen water
Don't believe in me now, wait for the slaughter
A pig roast, el pastor, I've been a ghost
Free smoke beathing heavy could levitate
Those who can edjucate themselves, yeah well there's no debate
We will be the only ones far enough to slip the circle
If you get caught up on the inside leave a crushed external
Damn Daniel, what is it with you and these rambles?
You should go and put on some sandals,
This walk it is not for socks
Cause we just made it out to the beach,
And now they wanna feel with their feet
And let the heart take leaps it needs
The sand's soft
We're talkin' bout the boldest move of your life
To set aside all that you're taught right
It's not the other we blame all the time
Take your mask off
And we been going through this shit, like one, two
And on the third it's never for you
We blackened more than we blue
The last god
It's power behind the biggest clunk
Richer than some chocolate chunks
If I date it's double dutch
Or I'm on some two for one
But I speak in tongues like my father's from the sun
And he pulled me out the water like an Inki run
Who's the one running shit?
Like we've done a hundred flips
Stumbling, dizziness
Steers a silly ship, sales don't matter
It's the current streams and people who still believe in their dreams
It's the beast with a snout of steam
Starin' down the barel of a loaded pistol
Brave enough not to blow the whistle, chew the gristle
While sick fucks are harvesting fetus tissue
Always a bigger picture, in front of an even bigger figure
Time to knock it off before I hit too many triggers
Watch the system crash
I don't mean a party when I'm talkin' bout a big bash
You better empty the cash
Sweep away the cookie crumbs
You gon' need a bigger drum before the war is done
Dum dum
We're talkin' bout the boldest move of your life
To set aside all that you're taught right
It's not the other we blame all the time
Take your mask off
And we been going through this shit, like one, two
And on the third it's never for you
We blackened more than we blue
The last god
Cause I've been walking wounded
Eyes droopy and lucid
Think everyone's stupid
Kidnapped and tortured cupid
And then we set 'em on fire
