Through a Lens, Darkly. Lyrics

Obscured vision in entirety the battery that batters me

The chain of my damnation, cause it holds me down and shackles me

I'm told to just keep going and to strengthen my morality

I'm tired of this life, but still I try to fleet normality

Perception is the weapon that demolishes society

Can't say that I'm surprised to see a world without sobriety

I tried to kill myself I don't care about notoriety

If you want to see me well, come and get me out of poverty

I'm next up

I've been trying to step up

Tired of faking that I care when really I don't give a fuck

"Boy you need to step up"

How about you shut up?

Before I leave without warning short notice abruptly

Destructive, the cameras rolling, I'm ducking the fussing that comes with the limelight and commotion

"Go to therapy," don't make me go overdose again

"Stop skipping out of class," give me unlimited paper then

I only love my bed, don't have the pleasure of having friends

I see this fucked up world through a specific lens

The bitches are whores

The men are pussies

Institutions are fucked they can't even listen and book me damn

I could write a novel on the shit I ain't speak on

And another for the times when I ain't had a backbone

All I fantasize about is being alone

You said you're the best, well I'm coming for the throne motherfucker

The only thing y'all threaten with are motherfucking glocks right?

Try to write some music, but y'all really stuck at first lines

You want to be so hard when you know you're missing all your spine

Oh and a little bird told me, "you know you're all fucked right?"

Y'all fighting over women when y'all should just let the cats fight

The cats think they're special cause we lie to fuck them all night

The cats then call us dogs cause we lied to come take off the tights

But y'all the ones who spread your legs, but yeah I'm fucking wrong right?

I can't even lie, I really dream all day of my demise

Nothing in this life can give me hope or offer me surprise

You ever heard the saying when they say "blessing in disguise?"

So it was a "blessing" when he flooded us and then we died?

I I I've been in a place

I'm losing the race and life has slapped me right in the face

Disgrace

I never wanted to feel this way but the order of it all has made it hard for me to relate

To the shrubbery of fuckery that governs me dishonorably

I've grown so desensitized to the norm of dishonesty

Why's it so easy for you to speak and just lie to me?

Systemic brainwashing from the fucking society

I've grown to accept the impending calamity

Our suffering is coming, that is a certainty

We're modern day slaves, everyday they're just working me

So I give them the middle finger, you know it ain't nothing to me

You know it ain't nothing to me

Sever completely the regard for this world, but not so discreetly

Why get it out mud or try to be someone who's worth a damn when later on I'll be shunned?

I'll see you in hell

Pain befell

Life: misspelled, we're bewitched under a spell

I may never make it atop the motherfucking charts

But I'll leave this engraved in your hearts

Godspeed bitch
