The walls of reality are smooth, and directional, like the inside of a 4D seashell. I bask in my own reflection ceaselessly, gazing continually upon my own imperfect reflection in god’s perfect prison, tormented by my own flaws, unable to look away for even a moment unless I turn inward upon myself, rending flesh in my struggle. I can’t tell if the spiral grows larger or smaller, or if it’s even possible to know. I wonder if there’s even a real difference between the two and if I’m struggling under a delusion of free will, or an endpoint to the insanity. Am I being pushed towards some goal? Is this cage the mind of god pushing me towards a paradise, and I squirm in my own ignorance and egotism? Is it that we are trapped by a mad demiurge, or some other terrible and advanced intelligence, slowly working towards some baroque goal, eons from now, as a twisted hive of putrid flesh? A living machine of a extra-dimensional forces? Did we steal the knowledge of futility from the garden? Have we been cast out of paradise or are we being punished in hell? Have you ever wondered how you can save money on car insurance? So anyways your brain and body are constantly at odds when the gut and heart nerve clusters develop consciousness there is no telling how they will interact the self-concept may be powerless to stop the body entity or else at complete war the ego-concept will perhaps be driven mad in a flesh prison then spat out back into the metacontext (consciousness itself as a singular force or essence of which we are all a part of) programmed and twitching or else driven to destruction or maybe they will be similar extrusions of consciousness driven to distraction by communicating with each other instead of with our sensations and surroundings so we must maintain a proper dialogue between cns brainconsciousness and bodymatter to ensure proper symbiosis and mutual aid when consciousness instances are captured or somehow absorbed by the prison of matter and flesh and maintain a broad idea of what we are because that is what gives consciousness power in that we are both our conscious selves and also the flesh and environment which imprisons us maybe we even created it ourselves idk we’ll probably find out more when we die thank you for reading I promise I’ll never stop being a super mega babe

Intro / Transition: (How long?) (How long?!?) Chorus: You see me, as freely, as I’d ever hope to And I don’t mind that you're not mine, it sounds alright Oo ... nevermind ... And if you ever need me I’mma find a new home for you Instead of just layin’ here w/ no tight grip to my side Are these worlds ever to collide? You say it can’t work but you’re wrong That I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along (How long?) (How long?!?) x2 Verse 1: I’mma have to keep it honest whichu All this “real talk” is artificial This time will shoot past, and almost hit you, Can’t see the stars, so we’ll have wish on a rocket missile Been on this rock so long, somehow it still holds me down, but my thoughts float on And if you look close, that cloud looks kind of like me and you Just a cloud ... you see it too? I used to think it all would just come to me like it’s gift wrapped, under the tree My shooting star was getting dim as suddenly as it lit the sky I don’t get mystified and I miss the high Amiss, remissed, resigned from the bliss as I I’ll give you gift of life, whether christmas time, or just some ordinary day off your dayshift But I don’t wanna wait anymore ... I’m impatient, let’s go Chorus: You see me, as freely, as I’d ever hope to And I don’t mind that you're not mine, it sounds alright Oo ... nevermind ... And if you ever need me I’mma find a new home for you Instead of just layin’ here w/ no tight grip to my side Are these worlds ever to collide? You say it can’t work but you’re wrong That I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along (How long?) (How long?!?) x2 Verse 2: I’ll always be searching for somethin’ better A purpose in which I’m tethered No perpendicular pleasure No hurt but I’ll give her tremors Assured that we’ll be together and sever Now she’s with a perverted, wicked possessor The stress that I had endeavored is hard-pressed in my temple You resemble a star, can’t reassemble the parts or reinvent your bizarre, it’s all an adventure I’ll just let you move on, could be forever, unless ... I can face that I still have to love myself to love you better ... (Yeah) Chorus: You see me, as freely, as I’d ever hope to And I don’t mind that you're not mine, it sounds alright Oo ... nevermind ... And if you ever need me I’mma find a new home for you Instead of just layin’ here w/ no tight grip to my side Are these worlds ever to collide? You say it can’t work but you’re wrong And that I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along (How long?) (How long?!?) x2

This is the porn for torn / This is the perfect time I wish the world was ending tomorrow So my disappearance would happen now Policemen stole the god This is nothing like the world I belong to Come wrap me tambourine / Gong rattling tambourine Feel my brain melting Me, I’m alone Full-blown hikikomori What the fuck should I do? Now I worry I wish the world was ending tomorrow So I Disappear forever Sometimes I just die This is nothing like the world I belong to

With a flow and a foe’s sign I can take control, of a troll’s mind If you don’t wanna be broke with a multi-million sold Then you don’t sign Not competitive Better when I get hold of why I was ever so set on this goal, I’d bet on my life Life fades and the clock ticks I’ve been livin’ way too cautious, I’m off this And I can show from this hole that I’m heartless, I’m not scared put the toxic where the cross sits Not competitive Better when I get hold of why I was ever so set on this goal, I’d bet on my life If you don’t mind ... I’m the sacrifice so rapper’s lives are born again, after christ They claim hell’s for the blasphemites If that’s precise, give me my own after life Put a laugh track over tracks you write People don’t react to it right If I son you ain’t no patricide happenin’ tonight, better think faster than light Back to the fight Act for the likes, ego on plaque wichha pride Black or it’s white I see the compassion you hide Whether you pick sides or you sat to side And we don’t get shit done cause you said, Actually what have you said, that has you lead To think, on some level you were Malcolm X Man, nobody’s plotting out your death, cause you ain’t a threat With no soul, better hope 5 minutes go slow, or you froze time But you’re gonna be alone and you won’t find even one soul on this globe when it goes quiet Not competitive Better when I get hold of why I was ever so set on this goal, I’d bet on my life Go and cu- me off Cause you couldn’t hear the truth if it’s from these thoughts All you sanctified thankin’ that I must be stopped The only line you ever put your life on is a desktop, So let’s not get com(petitive) Not competitive Better when I get hold of why I was ever so set on this goal, I’d bet on my life If you don’t mind ... Take your track and delete it Cause you don’t have to rap, like you actually mean it My head was in the stratus, the atmos, the Xenith If the ceilin’ was the grass, still your ass couldn’t reach it Yo We go from the atlas to mappin’ the reach of The infinite galactic, we’re massive, believe it Not a cult leader, I’m a soul feeder with the quotes, And they joke we don’t fit the mold, freedom is a hoax, so we don’t even give em hope, Leaders of our own, if you don’t see the vision, oh, we already know! (know, know) And if you’re deprivated Overcompensate and be best, don’t fake it THIS JUST AINT FUN LIKE IT USED TO BE I PUT THROUGH WITH MY OWN ABUSE TO ME AND IF I DON’T MAKE A GODDAMN HIT I’LL MURDER YOUR TOP 10 LIST, TO MAKE ROOM FOR ME

Time before time Strife before strife Ghost before ghost Life before life Time before time Strife before strife Ghost before ghost Life before Yes I've seen it unfold on the news No there may not be much left to do For you For you But in my paradigm I find Connections across space and time It's true It's true So while you're looking to the sky I'll be in my sanctum Looking inside I'll take my chances (take my chances) With my guide (with my guide) 'Cause if they survived then why shouldn't I I'll do their dances (do their dances) I'll say their rites (say their rites) 'Cause in this hell I sure as hell won't die Time before time Strife before strife Ghost before ghost Life before life Time before time Strife before strife Ghost before ghost Life before Now I'm not alone when I preach That it's possible and within reach To live To live But it takes attunement to the core Of a being who was there before And lived And lived So good luck looking to the sky The séance solution Is how I'll survive I call upon the ancient bone That pulls my soul into its own And tells me things I understand Alienate, no longer man Become the beast that saw collapse And discard the remaining scraps Of all I was for all I'll be And I'll witness eternity! I'll take my chances (take my chances) With my guide (with my guide) 'Cause if they survived then why shouldn't I I'll do their dances (do their dances) I'll say their rites (say their rites) 'Cause in this hell I sure as hell won't die I'll take my chances (take my chances) With my guide (with my guide) 'Cause if they survived then why shouldn't I I'll do their dances (do their dances) I'll say their rites (say their rites) 'Cause in this hell I sure as hell won't die And if it doesn't work at least I tried It's taken hold, it's got my sights Now I just have to do it right
