Primordial Ooze
00:52
|
|||
|
Looking out, looking at, looking in
I have always been here, I didn’t just begin
Before invented gods allowed mankind to sin
Oceans full of primordial ooze to swim
Club soda and gin filled to the brim
Already had a few, fill it up again
Who the fuck are you? Well maybe I am him
Or maybe I’ll just be another what could’ve been
Haunted by all the things that I didn’t do
Somewhere in between thriving and just getting through

Bodies
01:18
|

On life and death is where I walk
Everything I’ve actually learned is self taught
Climbing out the grave, had to brush myself off
Not one for rapping just to hear myself talk
I don’t even like to speak at all unless the words rhyme
Completely out my mind, but I think it works fine
Protecting any slivers of solace I receive
Learning how to discard the all that I don’t need
It’s a lot, I was lost, and I’m still lost
But I’ve learned to live with ghosts I couldn’t kill off
This hole that I’ve dug is filled with bodies
Even all my past selves couldn’t even stop me

The Blinds Opened Up
01:16
|
|||
|
As my sanity begins to fray
I do what I can to just get through the day
If you don’t belong there, you don’t have to stay
The door was wide open, so I walked away
I remember vividly because the sky was blue
And the yellow sun was yelling that it was time to move
Lost my mind, but my soul was still mine to lose
Luckily I got lost cause I was finding you
On the brink of absolute destruction, feeling like nothing
The blinds opened up and let the sun in

Driftwood
01:23
|
|||
|
In pursuit of those far mysteries we dream of
Me and my destiny, we teamed up
Man of little means, made it so I do not need much
Fuck around and get your Yeezys scuffed tryna keep up
Belly full of dirt from the days I had to eat dust
If it’s really love, then why the fuck you leave us?
Stranded in a circle that’s spinning while it’s ending
Walk straight for long enough, your back to the beginning
Why you think I’m zigzagging off the path I’m bending
The little peace I do have, I’m avidly defending
Standing on a small piece of driftwood with nothing but my empty hands
Hoping that it floats somewhere resembling a promised land

DOOM Shirts
02:22
|
|||
|
Still steadfastly eyeing the purpose
Too focused on the aim to even try to be nervous
My two choices were either die and be worthless
Or use verses to discover hidden universes
I’m somewhere else completely, where I can see it all
Ever since I saw an ultralight beam like Paul
But then I got drunk and forgot what I was doing
Got the gift of life and I rode that shit to ruins
Hell’s gates, according to my parents, I’m shoo in
Regardless tho, where I go, I’ll only have a few friends
Man of the people that don’t really like people
Cause people have only proven to be evil and deceitful
Before I open up the door, I’m looking through the peephole
And if it looks sketchy, then that locked door I keep closed
Give the shirt off my back to anyone that needs clothes
Unless if it’s the DOOM shirts I bought, I’ma keep those
Not dumb enough to spend hundreds on a hoodie
But not smart enough to get myself where I should be
All I know is this is where I’m at
And where I was before, I ain’t ever going back

Pitch Black Rooms
00:55
|
|||
|
Possessing an ocean like expansiveness
I was given this cause it’s known that I can handle this
Found it on the ground, so I picked it up and ran with it
Scrubbed off the dirt, now it’s shining like an amethyst
Comparisons are cancerous, just enjoy the shine
I was giving in to thoughts that destroy the mind
Felt like someone else, but the voice was mine
Given everything he needed, but the boy was blind
Walking through pitch black rooms under overcast moons
Becoming all the poison I consumed
Walking through pitch black rooms under overcast moons
Truly thought the end was coming soon

Thanks for Visiting
01:18
|
|||
|
For some reason, believing that good luck awaits
I look around at what is left and rummage through the waste
Got a taste of what could be and got a little greedy
Just because it flows through me, that don’t mean this shit is easy
It’s gonna take some time to outsmart your own mind
Getting out ahead, but it’s always right behind
Foaming at the mouth, teeth glistening with spit
Thanks for visiting, I’ve been living in this shit

Random Nooks in Hell
01:34
|
|||
|
In the tormented chase, it lead me to barren mazes
I guess that’s what I get for chasing
I’d like to think running was one of many phases
But old habits aren’t exactly easiest for breaking
It’s hard to run away when you’re running from yourself
And your self likes to lead you into random nooks in hell
This is me yelling out, “yo, shut the fuck up” to no one
And hoping that it’s something I can grow from
It seems as though development’s arrested
Everywhere I walk, all I seem to see is dead shit
Hopscotching carcasses on my way to work
While dodging piss puddles and pondering my worth
What a life I was given, thank you Jesus
I know you’re always listening, so when you read this
All I ask is for enough strength to carry on
By making sure the next drink I pour is very strong
Amen

Peculiar Dread
01:50
|
|||
|
A sense of peculiar dread
Knowing I’m alive, but feeling kinda dead
Tryna make some sense of all the shit that’s in my head
I woke up early, but I’m going back to bed
Luckily, I got a bed to go back into
And that reminds me that the goddamn rent’s due
So, I’m showering and going back to work
Looking at the sun, waiting for that shit to burst
It never does tho
