As I sit up, I see them near.
Not an eye without tear.
As I come to my knees, I can feel the breeze.
A tugging to stand, the call of my land.
As I use my feet, I abandon meat.
Carbon for absence, yet ambitious presence.
As I rise to my peak, I see the universe: meek.
Creators as my friend, how could I come to an end?
Regardless of the help that you could send,
I'm coming around the bend
I'm coming around the bend.
With nothing left to spend,
I'm coming around the bend
I'm coming around the bend.
This feeble husk was on lend,
I'm coming around the bend
I'm coming around the bend.
Nigh, my soul, to fully rend,
I'm coming around the bend
I'm coming around the bend.

Violent acts are the only way to get the facts.
Paid with tax, like the only way to stop attacks.
Suicide with two holes,
Killing two birds with tombstones, for only four bones.
The top is only half way, all sides of the same play, in broad day.
Man is made out of clay, to be molded and folded and crushed beneath the weight.
Your fellow man is the enemy, so sayeth the devil as they're skinning me.
Your side's the only one with chivalry.
That's how they had you all pitted with Donald and Hilary.
The arena's for the poor, while they take more,
Deriving profit from the gore.
There's no fighting at the top,
Completely change the story with a bullet from a cop.
God, I really want a conspiracy.
I could only hope for a conspiracy.
Because if they’re made in our image,
Then we’re fucking ugly. We’re fucking ugly.
God, I really want a conspiracy
I could only hope for a conspiracy
We can only hope they're reptilians.
That would save some face for the human race.
Now,
Let me tell you,
There are a limited number of possibilities
With a limited number of outcomes.
To possibly resolve the situation
That we're always in right now.
And I need to tell you:
Every single one is bleak.
Every single one is weak.
All the people that lead us.
Every single one is weak.
They can't think before they speak.
And if you're not getting upset,
Think of all the blood they let.
How many people would you kill?
How many people would you scare?
Do you even fucking care?
Of course not.
And therein lies the problem for the future of this rot.
Even if you agree with every single word out their mouth,
What makes you think they won't change their mind when it all goes south?
And it will, because it's us vs. them.
Floyd vs. 'Manity, absolute insanity.
The blood of liberty grows the tyrant's tree.
And that blood comes from people like you or me.
We live on a world based in vanity.
No one gives a shit if you're not a celebrity.
Let the source tell you narcissism is power.
Ignore the fact that your heart turned sour.
Fucking petty, it's not --
something that you haven't heard already.
Steady, we're almost --
there now, are you ready?
Make sure your phone's charged fully.
Watch it all go down in 3-D.
All burns sustained are third degree.
This is what we get being carefree.
Taking selfies as the bombs are falling.
Trending on Twitter while the fallouts sprawling.
Snapchatting as the government's stalling.
Hit the 'Gram while the country's brawling.
Ignorance breeds hate
And hate breeds pride
And pride breeds difference,
And difference breeds ignorance.
Ignorance is no defense, you stupid motherfuckers are when intelligence relents
Check what you're saying
Look back at what you're saying
Get a taste of the bile that you're spraying
I hope you're spaying so your hate isn't staying
I hope you can even see the message that I'm saying
Hate is pointless unless it's directed at biased motherfuckers whose brains are neglected
In you, I detected
Open heart, rejected
Don't like a pariah
You choose this yourself, you're no messiah
God, I really want a conspiracy.
I could only hope for a conspiracy.
Because if they’re made in our image,
Then we’re fucking ugly. We’re fucking ugly.
God, I really want a conspiracy
I could only hope for a conspiracy
We can only hope they're reptilians.
That would save some face for the human race.

An Open Letter To Self

Inhaling fumes from a smoking gun,
Sitting under the setting sun,
I need to get on with my day
All the words I read, with me they stay.
I used to laugh with all my heart,
I always won right from the start.
I don't even know why they play.
All the words I read, with me they stay.
I used to feel amazed,
Everyone seemed so crazed.
I need to leave before they slay.
All the words you said, with me they stay.
I used to breath peace and love.
We could all learn from the dove.
Look at the sun, I am the ray.
All the words you said, with me they stay.
That's not who I am.
That's not who I am.
"That's just who you could be today."
All the words you said, with me they stay.
But that's not who I am.
Everyone around you's a mirror.
Reflect the surface, or some place much deeper.
If you truly hate what you see,
You shouldn't think in terms of him, her, or me.
Over you, you're the only keeper.
I don't know who I am,
And I don't know where I'm going,
As soon as I get to where I've been, I'll know where I'm at because the past is showing.
Am I scared or deeply scarred?
Too much to bear or am I barred?
Is it rude to stare if your starred?
Was it a nightmare that made me marred?
I'll give you all you want I swear.
It can't always be that, loves unfair.
I warned you my heart's impaired.
Deep down I know you do not care.
I didn't want more time together
I couldn't settle for less than forever.
Join me in this resistance.
You're the vein of my existence.
An inconvenience is an act of war,
We need to meet up and settle the score,
The holy grail is made of strength
And everything should be discussed at length.
Retaliate like it's the last offense
Retribution needs to feel immense
Ignore what could be their meaning,
Life feels better if the comments are teeming.
Hate should be the center of living
Make sure to hit record before you go giving
And remember everyone is wrong,
Even the person who's singing this song.
Be filled to the brim with passion,
If not, you'll quickly fall out of fashion,
Drink your cup just like the predecessors.
You need to standup and fight your aggressors.
That's not who I am
That's not who I am
That's not who I ever was
And I really couldn't care a real man does
Because that's not who I ever wanted to be
It's not me, and it can't be free
Because every choice has action and cost
We could all voice the faction of the lost.
Some of us are just content but in hiding, we secretly lament the shackles of minding.
And that is the road that I have crossed.
Anyone can feel pain.
The program is deep inside our brain.
Realize your fellow man could be hurting,
From your own hand the blood keeps on spurting.
Realize what you could serve to gain.
You don't need someone to tell you to love
Or a righteous threat from above.
We're only here for a blink of time,
And not a single man was ever divine
But we could all learn from the dove.
The dove, the dove, the dove, the dove

Took a left out of the galaxy.
Earth has the best drugs, sounds like destiny to me.
Keep it on idle next to the cluster.
They pulled up in a 2 0 9 0 D U S T E R
Green men looking for that Earth zen.
Friend of a friend, need to check who they send th0.
Tailed by the intergalactic, now I am trapped in the attic.
Hiding out while my shit is in custody.
Space men should've never fucking trusted me.
Let 'em hang, man, I don't give a fuck. I was just selling Earth rock to make a quick buck.
So I duck and grab the pod, when they aren't looking.
Fly back to Earth so I can keep cooking.
My shit keeps the aliens getting floored.
That's why the universe calls me E A R T H L O R D.
Earth Lord is coming thru
Earth Lord knows just what to do.
Earth Lord has all the shit,
Earth Lord won't give you a hit.
Earth Lord calls Earth his bando.
Earth Lord won't sell to a rando.
Earth Lord dick is not normal.
Earth Lord dick went through a wormhole.
Earth Lord sells shit everywhere.
If you think it, Earth Lord's been there.
Telecom always boomin'.
Earth lord's shit could kill a human.
Space police packin' tasers.
Fuck that shit, Earth Lord got lasers.
Earth lord could kill your planet
But Earth lord just popped a Xanax.
Others trappers can't compare.
Look at me, your life is not fair.
More money than you could think.
Earth lord ship has a nice ice rink.
Previously on The Adventures of Earth Lord:
Earth lord
Oh Earth lord please
Earth lord help us.
We need your dust.
Where oh where could you be at, Earth Lord?
Our pilot passed out, near the Sun Fjord.
And we know that you got that fire rock.
Not to mention your interdimensional cock.
Enough flattery, we need that battery.
If we are to stand a chance to cross the galaxy.
Earth Lord, this is our last plea to you.
We need you now more than ever - won't you come thru?
Meanwhile in a different system:
<realistic phone ring>
This is Earth Lord.
How can I help?
So you need me to pull right now?
How much are we talking? Is that in tons or pounds?
Oh, is that it? I guess that you'll be walking.
And highkey, I'm mad at your fucking mouth sounds.
Don't ever waste my fucking time again.
I'm worth more than a politician, do you comprehend?
Now if you don't mind, I got some shit to do
Like selling Earth rock at the galactic zoo.
Lackey: Yo Earth Lord, are you sure you're good to be flying right now?
Ya boi: Yeah man, I swear I'm better when I'm not sober.
Skirtin' round the sun,
Shooting asteroids just to have a bit of fun.
And I'm so fucked up that I can't see clear.
Drop the gear from mile to light year.
Now I'm breaking every concept of fast
Haven't hit anything, but that can't last, uh
With a blast, I hit a planet with a silicone cast and they worship getting trashed, yuh.
Now I'm walking around like an idol.
So fucked up I can't physically idle.
Looking for anything, I'd even pop some midol.
Now their leader's daughter is G E T T I N R E A L L Y B R I D A L.
Gotta go now, before It's too late.
Engines turning on while she's prepping for the first date.
The warp drive kicks, as we peel out.
I only fuck with galactic licks and astral clout.

From the magical lands of days long passed, there laid a kingdom, where some were born blessed
Masters they remained until their very last
In the garbs of the goddess they were dressed.
Come now, child, I'll provide you insight
She loves regardless of day or night.
As a holy one I know your plight,
She can heal you if you give without a fight.
The white mages, with creator's bones
Had dominion over all unknowns
At the peak of their reign, I was born
To the flower, I am the immortal thorn
Heed not the blasphemers
We are forever her ambassadors
Stronger crops than last summer's
She welcomes all the newcomers
I can't pretend the good outweighs the bad
They live above, not on earth, never had
To fight a mage, I would die
With my rage, I will vie
Train until I'm ironclad
Until I watch them fry
They should know I need no comrade
They'd think twice if they knew my--
Not from cloth, I was excised from mettle.
Kill the sloth, and at the top is where I settle.
The only one or I'll let loose Armageddon.
The untapped power from my Mandate of Heaven.
Fate so had it that my rise was autocratic.
Read my palms, see my life is automatic.
They drained the kingdom until life became tragic.
I need to kill the masters of white magic.
Out of fear, I'm written out of fable
The congregation had me swept under the table
Atop Tianzi, atop Tianzi
The goddess waits for me, I know she waits for me
Another day, another battle, treat men like herds of cattle
Sheep in the flock, stuck between the hard place and the rock
Listen to the leaders, who listen to the leader
Mute leading the blind, they could never see her sign.
A sign from atop the mountain.
Tianzi, at the peak lies the fountain.
Our goddess, blessed in divinity.
We and her are all three corners of the trinity.
The white mages, with all their blasted tales
Are the outcome when true worship fails
I doubt a single one was ever a conduit.
She hinted to the truth, but now I'm on to it.
No human who is not ordained
Could reach the peak unpained
It could never be unreconciled
If anyone tries, they'll be exiled
It's not about who's gonna let me.
It's all about who could ever stop me.
Someone's falling it's not me.
They're gonna wish they never met me.
Master of none but their pride.
They claim vision, they lied.
The goddess is my bride.
It's not fair, everyone I ever see--
Not from fabric, I was crafted from steel
Feed my wrath and then the world is brought to heel.
Destroy it all, it takes me less than seven
Untapped power from my mandate of heaven.
Fate so had it that my rise was autocratic.
Read my palms, see my life is automatic.
They drained the kingdom until life became tragic.
I need to kill the masters of white magic.
Out of fear, I'm written out of fable
The congregation had me swept under the table
Atop Tianzi, atop Tianzi
The goddess waits for me, I know she waits for me
Born marked as a true stigmatic,
Saw the holes and their reaction was dramatic
4 leaks in their flagship
The destined conduit of white magic
She named me, I had to rise to my label
Call me Cain because the mages are my Abel
The conqueror of Tianzi
She was there for me, she had waited for me.
Through the mountainpass is where the final challenge waited.
I knew the threat ahead and over my power I debated.
I could defeat them all, with a single move.
And down the mountains they spilled, my claims they had to prove.
Immaculate, the title of my style
Process enemy before me, the outcome of denying my trial
I flick the vial, poison over the serrations
Now the masters fall before me, pay the sin of indignation
No resignation, hundreds of undefeated
Their will is a testament to the way that they are treated.
Blade they greeted, and now I'm the only one.
Inherit the throne as the one true son.
Run, I hear the people yell.
With all the masters dead they are condemned to living hell.
The bell, I hear its distant ring.
The chimes signal the coronation of the one true king.
They sing, as the crown is handed down.
On every face there rests a deeply bitter frown.
Burn the town, on my way out.
My deific display dispelled all doubt that...
Fate so had it that my rise was autocratic.
Read my palms, saw my life was automatic.
They drained the kingdom until life became tragic.
I had to kill the masters of white magic.
Born marked as a true stigmatic,
Saw the holes and their reaction was dramatic
4 leaks in their flagship
The destined conduit of white magic
She named me, I had to rise to my label
Call me Cain because the mages were my Abel
The conqueror of Tianzi
She was there for me, she had waited for me.
Fate so had it that my rise was autocratic.
Read my palms, saw my life was automatic.
They drained the kingdom until life became tragic.
I am the master of white magic.

Some men in coats came to my door
Asking if I liked life, if I wanted more
That I qualified for a trial.
I figured, why not? I got nothing for a while
We reached the building on a street I'd never heard.
They made me sign an NDA before they even said a word.
They said "it will be a breeze".
Groundbreaking methods to explore our memories.
They can manipulate chemicals in my head.
Induce a pseudocoma, like I'm near dead
They're not sure how it works yet.
I'm the first human trial, I bet.
I entered the sensory deprivation tank.
They wanted to know if I had anyone to thank.
Only me and myself, yeah. Only me.
Only me and myself, yeah. Only me.
Electricity shooting through my mind
The dark never seemed all that kind.
If I could know what I would know,
I'd hit rewind a thousand times. I'd smash rewind until it broke.
As I faded out of the present,
I could feel my brain relent.
I could feel it give up.
Just like that, I was out, and just like that, I was back in again.
*Deep Sleep Initiated*
Abandon all knowledge, but retain my intellect
Way before over the edge, the peace allows me to reflect
My mind opens wide, the first days of my life
Watch myself try to hide, just a child without strife
Retracing with a steady hand, I watch it all unravel
The mind is a foreign land, and I'm the only one to travel
Relive each new sensation as though it were the first
Enjoy imagination, and quench my thirst
The feeling of discovery, with each little step
On the path to recovery, and in dread crept
There's power in introspection, and power corrupts
Don't leave me to myself, or I'll erupt
And like a bad trip, my experience slows down
Fired from the hip, earn the title of clown
A memory on the horizon, fleeting my consciousness
Time slows to a crawl, and I feel a deep unrest.
And then comes the first day.
I stayed up too late the night before.
I was dressed like a fool
I was dropped off first, as it made the most sense
I sat in the hall to pass the time
I didn't have a phone, so I just listened to music
The bell rings
I know what's coming
I figure out where my class should be
I know what's coming
I approach the room with caution
I know what's coming
I sit at a table with an empty seat nearby
I know what's coming
The late bell rings
I know what's coming
I know what's coming
And I know I can't
Live through the day I met you again
'Get the fuck away,
Please, save yourself,' I scream, 'God, save yourself'
My soul is on fire, but only now I feel the burn
And see all the faults in desire
I'd rather be shot,
In the fucking head,
Over and over until this ghost is dead
Than to watch myself
To watch myself
Learn to bet it all and have nothing for the call
The fall, my fall
Started that day, and I cannot look away
As I watch myself reach the height of emotion
Before I could comprehend the depth of the ocean
The abyss
Trapped in my own skin as the only witness
The abyss
I try so hard to die, but I miss, I miss, I miss
The abyss
To watch myself lifted, before my life shifted,
At the edge of the abyss
And now I watch the plummet.
Not the first or second time, but more like the hundreth.
This must be hell.
God, please, I don't want to hear that damn bell.
I must've died and gone to hell.
