[Verse 1] Aligned and passed with time Blackout beginnings Shine in lack luster pyrotechnics I've been resting with eclectic memories Petrify the mystical flesh infested diary Messed with things I've already seen Pests have risen crawling toward the living being Leaning side to side pay attention to the sharp urban cries The streets have filled terminally Positioned on numb needles Give in to the surgery Purposefully and utterly interrupted Fast track laws to prove we've been corrupted [Hook] Lay back; the roof collapsed a long time ago A product full of promises, but what's the fucking point? Wake up from the coma and enjoy your fucking life Distractions only hold you back from getting on with it Awake is what I want to be, but I'm feeling pretty tired [Verse 2/Bridge] Talk to me if you're skeptical because I am too Wrapped up in my karma with special biases arousing Loafing on the corner waiting for my big break I'm satisfied with nothing, not complacent with the bag of shake being tossed across the room Making enemies, faster blade open eyes, money clip, has been: abandon ship wrong place, where am I? where am I? [Hook]

[ParadoxAssassin] So sly, so unruly Fabric faded cast trainer masked tomb caper slowly on your way there Neurosis; doses 1 out of 8 kids losing focus Rope tense, relax Noted way back now I'm searching for my pad Lost in the madness, it engulfs Patterns flutter; routine results Calm to be not since 14 Had dreams I was dead wrinkling in chlorine Reoccurring: electrify No cure for pure indignance I'm afraid Restlessness holds your every replay Evidence of the cruel world remains I'm the decayed; I've been restrained I'm in control - I will revolt I'm not reserved by Devil, God, whatever It's just the pebble as solid Earth and rock x2 Elemental swatches confirm a watchful eye We collect the cents and spend our days in such a wreck It's best to match less than peers insecure with self Closed to report on gold found on the coast Mattress-clouded visions deprive deluded folks from goals Implant the light and observe what awaits Night embraced lovers find a cold lifeless state Still close to the heat Could've broken abstract levels on the beach Districts of the mind erase but never really forget Hardwired to believe in the empty chest Headstrong individuals (animals) are predisposed to expect success Waking and waning trying to refrain from Ill minded actions - reflecting poorly on stand-by [Chavaughn, The Mad Hatter] Losing my mind Time wanna tick but I'm choosing my time Better move from my shine Got a vision that I'm missing like I'm blind In my mind's eye trying to defy every step in my life Get my shit get it right What's the point what's the price of these niggas who always be dissing on my shit but it's fine Cuz I'm makin' a mission for them to get dismissed serves em right Ya'll just fucking hype Meaning you will all die off eventually Now it is it time for me to configure my very legend See everyone as an enemy I could never damn help it my back is against the wall And the sky forever descending I wonder if our descendants will make it through all this suffering Plugging into the internet soul is steadily buffering Muffling every word of our predecessors Corruption hits so much harder with gazes Beaming from all our predators Making me pray for peace or allegiance of human empathy Wondering if I'll end up deceased believing in heaven see.. It doesn't matter as I'll become antimatter dismantle the magic gathered and become the entity I perceive as the one that matters Myself in a world as savage as hell You will have to stand and rebel against everything that exists 'til the day that you are dismissed and they realize that something's amiss but can't notice cause you do not exist And that's how the world persists in revolving around the bliss of this ignorant excellence of this pain and this pestilence that I place on a pedestal of the things that are relevant in my mind within place and time where I do sit and decide the the importance of living life the importance of dying right

[ParadoxAssassin] [Intro] Check check I'm a memory [Verse 1] Preparation; pragmatic elation revolves around light-hearted fun Might as well bag me at this stage Stop listening to the background noise It's affecting your ability to react Temporary fixation on the mediation Without the platform and the megaphone you'd be left for bait in the trap Fire escapes in the back better memorize before taking naps Passing stages like we've been here before Heat waves terrorize the poor with the windows cracked Desert eagle spine tingling hemoglobin We've arrested in the most glorious way [Verse 2] Ahhhh, what have we here? It's a mental breakdown sleeping half past 5PM 45 RPM has me idle on the crate bin With an ambient tone, it's off to the races Many chase desires, but only few catch 'em Shallow arrives to sneak up and get you Veering toward the light You ever been scared at night? Sweet humble pie/ make yourself comfortable Always welcome and never arranged Passive reflections of my day left unexplained probably better that way x2 [Bridge] Mind numbing sensation; cardiac arrest Caught me lounging at the train station Taking up both seats yeah...this one is saved (haha) [Verse 3] It's a goddamn circle I've been on I call it fucked once or twice Made it a point to cut some things out my life I don't apologize, but I may feel... Disrespected, out of place, out of mind Wiggle room mention/ with claustrophobic ties Written spellbound getting round-housed on the black book Hollywood Paramount Big acts collapsed under pressure neolithic measures distancing indecorous endeavors to identify our latent pleasures Concealed weaponry deepening the tendency to snap Pulled a heist while I had the girl on rotate The clock spins the vinyl like it's foreplay Shut down roadways Me no se porque nosotros fuimos anoche (I don't know why we went last night) Proper faux pas almost freed my vision Copper sold in molten heaps Vilified by jealous freaks for dormancy Wake the poetry as conscious begins to fade Underlying settlements indoctrinated innocents (innocence) for decades [Tony, The Swordsman] Another rhyme scheme, another day dream another time awakened by ambition's subtle scream shit, gotta splash my face with water from the polluted stream see astroturf, where is the grass a natural green wait where am I again? surrounded by faces I hardly remember and someone up front yappin till december notebook full of gibberish, rhymes in the margin, examine my pen girl next to me looks like I should maker her my friend Oh crap i'm in class whats been said? Stress overcome to sever my head wait whats the homework that will consume 3hrs at least project on essays on assignments that's stacks on stacks push back passion of writing & reading thats acts on Acts please don't act as if you sympathy you keep when you act like this don't repeat elders say well your young at least as if that's a valid reason for sleep deprivation when eyes lose focus focus and I stumble walking wish it was my heart but my eyes dilation pop a pill to calm cranial monsoon, hope nothing slips as i'm talking pretending i'm working in the library hope this literary princess don't catch me gawking eyes look high, blood shot, crows outside the window but Duck-not enslaved, debt grave, not my right mind state walking into the next class anticipating, ready in case anyone ask for rhymes to blast get dap off a dope rap seamstress how I put together these lines lay back in my seat Swordsman I am to keep review an interview, as I D-ay D-ream from that (reverse) Z-A, M.C. since B.C. all i wanted to B E Be-leave me I need some Sl-heap

[Verse 1] Migrated to avoid hibernation Waterfall iteration classify the patient as deceased Dignify estate check the rate of the pulse before you faint I've had a fucking ball but it's time to retire Cradle vapors, satiated wallpaper disintegrated spinal modulation beta testing fully simulated Congregation watching you slip Time emaciated grab bag wading through fire and brimstone Admiring, money does nothing but exacerbate Captain kindly bats away the doubt throughout the day Redacted transcripts, whiteout All my honesty is dried out With complicated aptness to avoid the light hours Smoke screen I'll tell you what the code is Enter on the floating touch pad with stolen fingerprints I can be anyone I want to Succumbing to consumption while alarms sound The walls are blowing up now I'm not coming uptown.. x2 [Bridge] It all makes sense how hoodz come in dozens and gratification's sunken Twisted up in malignant acts Glad I chose to stay put Wicked ways - subconscious maze Ain't a struggle when your V.I.P. Behind me slashed tires in your rear Grudges live on only through the host For the love that we give is all that we have [Verse 2] Manuever can't see clearly I'm feeling numbness overcoming looking at the ceiling the shadows overtake Mind struggles to adapt I'm paralyzed in high tide My third eye juggles matchsticks Captions: specified nothingness Something that's too common to awaken to The fake have gathered religiously to sacrifice iconoclast Careful or the vine will wrap around your leg and pull you down Escape plans are vital when you're out of your element Scale up the roving metal machines I feel like a gear that's stuck in between Hmm..Maybe I'll.. x2 [Verse 3] Be successful in this cesspool Inform the masses of the bias that surrounds them and I I, I.. I want to be grateful I have a plate full and I still complain It's funny how I'll never be the same after many years of living life in vain You could be famous one day!" We share a similar mindset except we differ in our motives Pinning my beliefs to the motifs that burrow inside the lotus Hope is just gesture Wishing is the lesser Accountability must be taken While responsibility may be assigned I hate the expression of it's a fine line Only because I've had trouble deciding what is right and wrong in my lifetime [Outro] x2 Hope is just a gesture Wishing is the lesser

[ParadoxAssassin] [Verse 1] Reference case files #11994 Saddens me to reply... Dirty windows no lucidity Riveting action Indirect impact lasting Coated in plastic Most have nicely denied the guilt trapped inside Well, it's sometimes dark behind the blinds Sunlight fading veneer The walls never disappear Eyes shut wide angle do we aim for taller aspirations than our ancient ties It's a kind of thought invasion blazing trails to the truth Willingly defy the fools Remote access Devote cash and jewels Shaping assets on the snooze Binding unstable molecules Combination unmatched x3 ... [Hook] x2 Dopamine interaction Structures clean Make it seem like you care Friendly faces everywhere Dream state hazel shaded skyline Simple render a contender to reveal a part of me that's not real [Chavaughn, The Mad Hatter] Look into my face muhfucka You'll see a frantic mental wreck who cannot live a day without the loss of love of joy Respect my souls completely desolate and fear of having people near me kills me I wonder what drove Steez to jump off of that building It often makes me fathom what fuck am I feeling There is no happiness present It's truly a shame the game of life caters to suffering Living like peasants as the goals the choices made are nothing more than utterly reckless cause I'm desperate Never descending are angels Deities never saw shit from my angles Where does the pain go inside my heart from the get go I have always been forever lost inside my temple Praying for dreams never released but my heads low Never a rebel gripping the pencil Scribbling mental notes of heaven or hell or both Trying dispel the notion of religion Portrayed through hate, disgrace, and dismissal Niggas couldn't tell from the distance but people all lie for a living Politicians and Presidents everybody deemed relevant not a fuck given celibate Where are we in the end of it? Man stand tall but he dies as he falls Corruption has entered us all What do we do in this instance I cant conceive the concept of this bliss that's portrayed in more ways than I can dismiss From ignorant arrogant people in mix with anger and hate that's distributed instantly via the internet blogs All this energy wasted on bullshit then there is me Out from the cauldron toil has boiled my soul in distortion Filling my brain with the images morbid Moon in the night glares Is this a nightmare? Shadows decrepit and they're representing the darkest of the thoughts that reside in my mental I cannot just let go my mental is gone my light it has dwindled [Hook] [Outro] Pastel hardened captured garments absolutely famished artist Blame games make your match Marked and carved shrinkwrapped mostly wretched Influential a contestant Mary had a little lamb Sold the ranch and that was that Begging for a lending hand Many look but turn their heads toward the prizes and their dinner Predator instincts valored sinners Bearing metal gadgets we displace and invite x3

[Verse 1] Gradual representation I've been living in basements Relying on instrumentation to propel the invigoration Wasting valuable references Estimate indivisible expectations Y - U: vertigo... heard some more B Back then we could've been palindromes Pals you know? [Verse 2] Dropped my wisdom into five sections Categories help direct the tension inherent in my function Battle til my body bursts even in the worst case First place benchmarked against the leading actor Audit memorized flashing lights in defense Cauterized the bloody mess Merrily and barely buried Undertow effect left ya worried How you got there seems all blurry ... [Verse 3] Wary traveler what do you seek? You're tasked with many duties, but all the tools are out of reach Options are abundant Class is dismissed until we never have a Monday One way to final destination Mindlessly envelop and question every little detail because it's relevant You're lifeless body is such a testament Find a way to bask in the subconscious excrement [Verse 4] Iceberg emerged a twist occurs within the spiteful words Woken through meditation yet sanctioned by accredited fools Give your advice while I can even listen A soiled vision deepens ignoramus Destined shameless performing debtless missions Painless transitions Gather cryptic evidence Prove the severence of mind, body, and soul Attached for now in this hell hole x2 ... [Verse 5] Gravity gradually makes me sink in Deep end; shallow waters As we barter with life, we think grim Sheepskin - it's a bleak den No need for light, it's the weekend Cheap drinks and .. friends Maybe think twice about a night on some toxic bends I'm on a cleanse and a shower curtain cuts me off It's better than after-hours chills in the space hall Great balls.. of reverie; probably won't even remember the plot x6 [Outro] Padded truths will never strike home Weak tones seem to have a rhythm in my bones Aren't you glad I didn't... Aren't you glad I wont.. Reveal.Reveal.Reveal.Reveal.Reveal.Reveal.
