Greatest Living Nightmare

[Chorus (Condensed)]
I'm a mutant, I'm a wolf, I'm the Elephant Man
I'm your greatest living nightmare wherever I stand
From the city to the snow and through the desert I ran
Until my footprints are all that's ever left in the sand

[Verse 1]
And I plan to say exactly how it is, they don't hear me though
Just another kid tryna make his city grow
At four AM again yelling in my home, still alone
Feeling frozen with a heart colder than any winter snow
And ain't no glory without pain or any drama
Displayed it with my kata, learn the way of every master
Wanna grow old like I came from Okinawa
But I'm scared I'll die young like my name is Charlie Parker
This ain't a game, no choose your destiny
The day I believe in myself is the day that I lose sincerity
And that's the way that it was meant to be
Still I'm getting faded till I'm elevated on the mezzanine
And ain't no way that they're telling me how to change what I'm meant to be
Serve it raw, I'm never changing the recipe (never)
My perspective will eventually be the death of me
I'm tryna get it, clean, successfully with no penalty

[Chorus]
I'm a mutant, I'm a wolf, I'm the Elephant Man
I'm your greatest living nightmare wherever I stand
From the city to the snow and through the desert I ran
Until my footprints are all that's ever left in the sand
I'm grotesque, an atrocity, a mess, a monstrosity
An oddity who will never digress from my odyssey
And there ain't a warrior that can worry me
Forgot what I am or whatever you want me to be

[Verse 2]
And I'll be ready till I cease, ready for the week
With a machete I cut my way out the belly of the beast
Now I move against the wind in stealth like I'm Shinobi
Fell in love with the art before she ever got to know me
I hold her closely till I tell her that I must go
Headed for the slope to lead the journey of the unknown
Terror-bound, terri-bad, get there and I tear it down
I'll send you a letter when I get around, generation now
Woke from a coma, paranoid, confused
Feeling ready to rock 'cause now we had it with the blues
When my rabbles start to bloom I'll be trapped inside my room
Planning my next move, nothing but the madness I pursue
But my wild side, I find, doesn't help with my pride
In hindsight I guess I'm just lettin' my inner child hide
My mind won't stop racin', just another freak of nature
Who stopped waitin' to break on out of the locked basement

[Chorus]
I'm a mutant, I'm a wolf, I'm the Elephant Man
I'm your greatest living nightmare wherever I stand
From the city to the snow and through the desert I ran
Until my footprints are all that's ever left in the sand
I'm grotesque, an atrocity, a mess, a monstrosity
An oddity who will never digress from my odyssey
And their ain't a warrior that can worry me
Forgot what I am or whatever you want me to be
