Freedom that opposes anothers is not freedom but oppression
Got damn, can't win for losing, who shorted my deck
can you really not understand my smile when i break your fuckin neck
i was ransomed by real satanists, your ouji boards are childs play to me
how does one not learn to love their captor
masta masta, pet me feed me
i swear i wont bite your hand off, you knocked out all my teeth
Love me love me, aren't I good
Please master, haven't I...
Don't talk about life, talk about death
too busy livin it
They say I'm guarded n have trust issues, I believe I should
You don't really wanna hear about a child stripped away from his mother,
her anxiety imprinted upon his soul
Well this is my revealing, this album is the funeral of past wounds
A siren is all I know to gift me her bless
A celebratory death
Not out of morbidity, but a love of life
Am I allowed to eat yet?
Ugly, stupid and deranged, call me whatever you like with your crooked broken perspective
So long as you know that you can never see me
You say I'm angry, I say passionate
You called me crazy, I'm just a kid post-survivalist
Struggling to strive
I was up, you convinced me best strategy was to take a dive
I was foolish enough to mistake your misery as beauty
You hate what is different, so of course my type is asylum and your type is normalcy
You advocate tolerance over Love
Flying thru the sky as vision swims thru a sea of colours
That building that building it hurts
so you let it out, they call that feeling
I know it's deepwithin
but when it let's out to the surface
can it let out all our suffering
can't cage it in so it's out now
a gift to feel so we are gifting
“The universe is when you believe in everything”
It's all deja vu to a home I can't remember
But why fear the unknown when the unknown is what is faced everyday
Mother may I be allowed to go out n play
And how does one get close, when devoid of personalization?
Can we skip to the future, who wants to deal with life right now
I swear I want to attach, I just don't know how
The always ambivalent AI program
From where these directions transmit I do not know
Am I myself or whoever they think I am?
If you forever run in place how do you ever move on?
I love you, but to grow I must move on
I'm leaving to find myself
I'm leaving to learn how
I'm leaving to find myself
I'm leaving to learn how
I love you I love you, at least when I learn how
I think you lack the imagination to see the truth
