I am
A little bit of loneliness
A little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints
But I can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars

I am
What I want you to want
What I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you
To just believe this is real

So I
Let go watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause
You are all that I've got

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored


I am
A little bit insecure
A little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand
I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense

I am
What you never want to say
But I've never had a doubt
But it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you
For once just to hear me out


So I
Let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause you're all that I got
(got)
(got)
(got)
(got)
(got)

I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

Noooowwww!

Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right now
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right now

I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored!

I can't say
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't tell
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

I can't say
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't tell
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored..

Nothing ever stops all these thoughts
and the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happenin'
It's like nothing I could do would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'Cause from the infinite words I could say I
Put all the pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize
Instead of setting it free I
took what I hated and made it apart of me

[It Never Goes Away...] x2



And now
You've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what I've done
Given up a part of me
I've let myself become you
You...
You...
You...


Hearing your name
the memories come back again
I remember when it started happenin'
I'd see you in every thought I had
and then
my thoughts slowly found words attached to them.
And I knew as they escaped away I was
committing myself to 'em
And every day
I regret saying those things
cause now I see
that I
took what I hated and made it apart of me.

[It Never Goes Away] x2

And now
You've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what I've done
Given up a part of me
I've let myself become you

[It Never Goes Away] x4


(get away from ME!)
Give me my space back
You’ve gotta just
(GO!)
Everything just comes down to memories of
(YOU!)
I've kept it in but now I’m letting you
(KNOW!)
I've let you go!
So
(get away from ME!)
Give me my space back
You've gotta just
(GO!)
Everything just comes down to memories of
(YOU!)
I've kept it in but now I’m letting you
(KNOW!)
I've let you go!

And now
You've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what I've done
Given up a part of me
I've let myself become you
I've let myself become you
I've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you
Given up a part of me
I've let myself become you

From the top to the bottom,
bottom to top I stop,
at the core I’ve forgotten,
in the middle of my thoughts,
taken far from my safety,
the picture's there,
the memory won't escape me,
but why should I care?
(Repeat)

Theres a place so dark you can't see the end,
skies cock back and shock that which can't defend,
the rain then sends dripping,
acidic questions,
forcefully,
the power of suggestion,
then with the eyes shut,
looking through the rust, and rot, and dust,
a small spot of light floods the floor,
and pours over the rusted world of pretend,
and the eyes ease open,
and it's dark again,

From the top to the bottom,
bottom to top I stop,
at the core I’ve forgotten,
in the middle of my thought's,
taken far from my safety,
the pictures there,
the memory won't escape me,
but why should I care?

In the memory you'll find me,
eyes burning up,
the darkness holding me tightly,
until the sun rises up,

Moving all around,
screaming of the up's, and downs,
pollution manifested in perpetual sound,
the wheels go round,
and the sunset creeps behind street lamps,
chain link and concrete,
a little piece of paper with a picture drawn,
floats on down the street,
till the wind is gone,
the memory now is like the picture was then,
when the paper's crumpled up,
it can’t be perfect again,

From the top to the bottom,
bottom to top I stop,
at the core I’ve forgotten,
in the middle of my thoughts,
taken far from my safety,
the pictures there,
the memory won't escape me,
but why should I care?
(Repeat)

In the memory you'll find me,
eyes burning up,
the darkness holding me tightly,
until the sun rises up,

Now you got me caught in the act,
you bring the thought back,
I'm telling you that,
I see it right through you,
(7x)

In the memory you'll find me,
eyes burning up,
the darkness holding me tightly,
until the sun rises up,
in the memory,
you will find me,
eyes burning up,
the darkness holding me tightly,
until the sun rises up

Pre chorus:
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
Saw a light in the sky
The memory won't escape me
So why did I try (2x)

From the thread to the needle
middle to end
Where skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defend
The rain then sends dripping, acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut
looking thought the rust and rot and dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours itself upon the world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and its dark again

Pre-Chorus

Chorus:

In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burning up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up

Moving all around
Screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
As the wheels go round and the sunset creeps past the
street lamps, cars, chain-link and concrete
A window then grows and catches the eye
Cries out a yellow light as it passes it by
And a young shadowy figure sits in front of a box
Inside a box of rocks with the needles on top
Nothing can stop in this land of the pain
The sane lose not knowing they were part of the game
And then the insides change
The box stays the same
The shame, shovel up the pieces of the pain
You can try to hide yourself from this world of the pain
But when the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

Now I got you got in the act
You better step back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you (7x)

Chorus

In a minute you'll fine me

From the top to the bottom
bottom to top I stop
at the core I’ve forgotten
in the middle of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the picture's there
the memory won't escape me
but why should I care?
From the top to the bottom
bottom to top I stop
at the core I’ve forgotten
in the middle of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the picture's there
the memory won't escape me
but why should I care?

Theres a place so dark you can't see the end
skies cock back [back]
and shock that which can't defend
the rain then sends dripping
acidic questions
forcefully
the power of suggestion
then with the eyes shut
looking through the rust, and rot, and dust
a small spot of light floods the floor
and pours over the rusted world of pretend
and the eyes ease open
and it's dark again

From the top to the bottom
bottom to top I stop
at the core I’ve forgotten
in the middle of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the pictures there
the memory won't escape me
but why should I care?

In the memory you'll find me
eyes burning up
the darkness holding me tightly
until the sun rises up

Moving all around
screaming of the ups and downs
pollution manifested in perpetual sound
the wheels go round
and the sunset creeps behind street lamps
chain link and concrete
a little piece of paper with a picture drawn
floats on down the street
till the wind is gone
the memory now is like the picture was then
when the papers crumpled up
can be perfect again

From the top to the bottom
bottom to top I stop
at the core I’ve forgotten
in the middle of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the pictures there
the memory won't escape me
but why should I care?
From the top to the bottom

the memory won't escape me

In the memory you'll find me
eyes burning up
the darkness holding me tightly
until the sun rises up

Now you got me caught in the act
you bring the thought back
Now you got me caught in the act
you bring the thought back
Now you got me caught in the act
you bring the thought back

Now you got me caught in the act
you bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you (7x)

In the memory you'll find me
eyes burning up
the darkness holding me tightly
until the sun rises up
in the memory
you'll find me
eyes burning up
the darkness holding me tightly
until the sun rises up

Oooh, she's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain

Oooh, she's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me

[Verse: 1]
We're stuck in a place so dark, you can hardly see
A manner of matter that splits, with the words I breathe
An' as the rain drips, acidic questions around me
I block out the sight of the powers that be
An' duck away into the darkness, times up
I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut
So tight that it blurrs into the world of pretend
An' the eyes ease open and it's dark again

[Bridge]
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
why should I care

[Chorus]
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

[Verse: 2]
Listen to the sound, dizzy from the ups and downs
An' nauseated by the polluted rott, that's all around
Watchin' the wheels of cars that pass I look past
To the last of the light and the long shadows it casts
A window grows and captures the eye
An' cries out, a yellow light as it passes me by
And a young shadowy figure sits in front of a box
Inside, a building of rock with antennas on top
Now, nothing can stop in this land of the pain
The sane lose, not knowing they were part of the game
An' while the insides changed, the box stays the same
And the figure inside could bare anybody's name
The memories I keep, are from a time like then
I put 'em on paper so I could come back to them
Someday I'm hopin' to close my eyes and pretend
That this crumpled up paper, can be perfect again

Yo
[Bridge: Repeat]

I'm here at this podium talking, the ceremonial offerings
Dedicated to urban disfunctional offsprings (What's happenin'?)
City governments are eternally nappin'
An' trapped in greedy covenants, causin' urban collapsin'
An' bullets that scar souls, with dark holes, get more than your car stole
Some hearts be blacker than charcoal (fo' real)
This society's deprivation depends
Not on our differences, but the separation within
No preparation is made, limited aide an' minimum wage
Livin' in a tenement cage where rent isnt paid
Tragedy within the parade
The darkness overspreads like a permanent plague
An' I'm forgotten

[Chorus: Repeat]

I don't know who to trust, no suprise
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Heavy thoughts sift through dust
And the lies
(Trying not to break,
But I'm so tired of this deceit
Everytime I try to make myself
Get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring and time between
And how trying to put my trust in you
Just takes so much out of me)

[Chorus:]
Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear, for the last time
I won't trust myself with you

Tension is building inside, steadily
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Heavy thoughts forcing their way, out of me
(Trying not to break
But I'm so tired of this deceit
Everytime I try to make myself
Get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring and time between
And how, trying to put my trust in you
Just takes so much out of me)

[Chorus:]
Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear, for the last time
I won't trust myself with you

I won't waste myself on you!
You! [x2]
Waste myself on you!
You! [x2]

[Chorus: Repeat (x2)]

You! [x3]

[Spoken]
Of course you know what a fuse is...
It's a long piece of cord impregnated with gun powder
When you strike a match and light it
It burns, fitfully, spiraling to it's end
At which there is, a little surprise

Krypton, short suit MCs you'll be ripped on
You fell off and it's my lyric sheet you just slipped on
Get gone, spit on mic's made in Hong Kong
Rock on, sing songs mightier than King Kong
A Donkey, you think you want me or want this
Want some, hold your reputation for Ransom
With these here, handsomely crafted tactics
To break a snake and see like a cheap profilactic
Galactic, space now yeah that grabs attention
Crack heads nodded like a pest can't even mention
Right a pat traps gas tracks in sections
Kid steps this he need witness protection

Trying to see while I
If you see it
I'll be here
Trying to see while I
If you see it
I'll be here

It was the junkyard crooked letter C-I-entific
Duck us, the ruckus I'll bring stings your eardrum
Hear one, lalala loose frind me fearsome
Opposing troops on my home front shall be gone
Testing the eight-hundred, eighteenth battalion
Shallow the one who's run like rebels
Enola gay rhymes kicked the notch up a level
In intensity, send back the tax that you sent to me
Blow up your spot with grenades that were meant for me
MP3 versus R33 MCs, Swiss change your gear putting shrapnel in the breeze
We're MCs with enemy companies with my hand full of lyrics talking 'bout you want these
Please, don't even speak the name of channels and low gadget mic shit put it down like pens
For my friends and my fam let them dodge it around this mic shot through the back of an MCs hand
With the strength that he had a bridge you don't want that close body fields in hand to hand combat
Battle cats, it's like the sectional speech warfare words slash cords
Come deford shots get rid don't question my intention when your butt gets kicked

Trying to to see while I
If you see it
I'll be here
Tech broke italic syllabalic attacks
Trying to see while I
If you see it
I'll be here
You want these MCs lyrically back smacks

Why wait, I didn't look down myself
Why wait, I didn't look down myself
Why wait, I didn't look down myself
Why wait, I didn't look down myself
Why wait, I didn't look down myself
Why wait, I didn't look down myself
Why wait, I didn't look down myself
Why wait, I didn't look down myself

Trying to to see while I
If you see it
I'll be here
Tech broke italic syllabalic attacks
Trying to see while I
If you see it
I'll be here
You want these MCs lyrically back smacks

This song is by Adema

Will you, walk me
To the edge again
Shaking, lonely, and I am drinking again
Woke up tonight and no one's here with me
I'm giving in to you

Take me under
I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight
I'm giving in to you
Watch me crumble
I'm giving in to you
I'm crying tonight
I'm giving in to you

Caught up, in lies
Losing all my friends
Family has tried, to heal all my addictions
Tragic it seems, to be alone again
I'm giving in ... to you

Take me under
I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight
I'm giving in to you
Watch me crumble
I'm giving in to you
I'm crying tonight
I'm giving in to you


I look forward, to dying tonight
Drink till i'm myself, life's harder every day
The stress has got me
I'm giving in
Giving in
Giving in now!

Take me under
(I'm killing all the pain)
I'm dying tonight
(I'm sick of all this faith)
Watch me crumble
(I'm killing all the pain)
I'm crying tonight

I'm giving in to you
Take me under
I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight
I'm giving in to you
Take me under
I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight
I'm giving in to you

Just do something to tell you who I am, ya know?

It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock

I've been digging into crates ever since I was living in space
Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits
Mastered numerology and big bang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessing it
And chin checking kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic cords to double helixes and show them what
I'm made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of the emcees
That hate us
So try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity let icons be bygones
I fire bomb, ghostly notes haunt this
I've tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit with or without an accomplice
(Mixed media!)
The stamp of approval that's on this

It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out

Akira
Put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
And never satisfy my rhyme jones
Spraying bright day over what you might say
Blood type Krylon
Technicolor type A
On highways write with road rage on pages of wind
In cages of tin that bounce all around
In surround sound devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Overall the same things sing song karaoke copy madness
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the tracks stand at attention (ATTENTION)
Meant to put you away with the pencil
Pistol, official, 16 line rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
Spin, raw raw blah blah
You can say you saw

It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out

It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage, you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
