I'm my own brand of me

[breathless]

One of my newer old pieces, I'll drop the a cappella in a bit if I can find the link

Damn, that shits way choppier than I remember, gonna need to redo it sometime
Typical 4/4 time with sporadic cadence changes....



If I mean in a minute I meant it, don't believe in a limited level
It'll seem so simple settlin' in, but when you're between what weather begins
The brain storm of rain pours from rhetoric within, the main form
it takes forces elegant whims to change course... Never again

There's more to what meets the ear, its sorta what people hear
that makes the most normal of speech appear to be some horrible thing to fear
But the majority I've come near to call dear to my heart
have been warnin me to steer clear so now its tearin me apart

Yet its still interwoven over some threads of doubt
I've been headin down this lonely road I'd be dead without
My only solace in this solitude is that I led the route
Never followed groups, I'd rather lose the crowd then settle down... To be truthful

Sleep is most peaceful when there's no one else around
Though I try to keep my distance in this dream world I've found
It gets harder with the farther that I go, but I don't mind
Every marker is a part of the whole that I won't find

Each step starts another column in the puzzle
The rows are just crossroads leading on to different struggles
Someone else's problems that I don't wanna juggle
I've got my hands full and not a lot of muscle left

So why not a last pull just to watch it all crumble... Yes
My best guess is the answer to a question that is never asked
A little silent confirmation on this quest led for my better half
But its timeless squandered patience and less said than I ever had

So whether its the end or I'm headin to the mezzanine
Anything I've ever said is everything I'd never mean
Like goin to bed with a clean conscious on amphetamines
I know it seems that I am a prophet, but I never wanted this message

to be seen by me, honest. I'd rather let the priests compete
for God's gift than polish up my knowledge on idolatry
while polishin a jesus piece like there's a piece of Jesus in it
I don't believe in these gimmicks, the leaders of religion

are feedin us lies, tryin to get us to follow suit
with hollow truths, yellin hallelujah at our youths
Recruitin em in retreats, uprootin em from their seeds
Like, what the fuck you think its gonna produce when they breed?

They're consumed by the greed of time honored tyranny
Once the loose ends meet, we can untie the knot on the bible's leash
Take that final leap of faith today, let the primal screams of rage fade away
There's vibrant schemes in shades of grey... but the colors fade

...get in your place, the play is about to be underway
The stage us set... but the audience already has came and went
Got the weight of the world beneath my feet enough to break cement with each painless step
It's the unweighed consequence of stayin on the one-way route against the grain I guess
