Invisibility Cloak

[Verse 1: Gripp]
Often I sit outside to spit out rhymes
Watch storybook people live out lives
Try to get out my own mind, the logic and the enterprise
Imagine seeing the world through a different set of eyes
Try to incentivize the bonds that all these people get
Or melt into the concrete until I could feel the ego death
All of life is just a lethal prick injection
Slow and sweet the drip, and so I come here twice a week to sit
Off to my left are a couple of frat boys
Eating pizza strips, bitching, calling some teacher a piece of shit. One dude is bragging 'bout how he could down at least a fifth
And still make his class in the morning: "It's actually boring."
The world is full of all these actors and stories
All the comedy, tragedy, mourning, agony that they're caught in
In the end, we're all casualties, but before then
We might as well live a life, just try to get it right. Right?

[Hook]
I don't see you in me; don't see me in you
I see all of us in everything that people do
Fighters and lovers all filling the holes
That's what I see underneath my invisibility cloak

I'm not a mirror and you are not reflecting me
We just stem from the same type of chemistry
We could have ducats and still'd be broke;
That's what I see underneath my invisibility cloak

[Verse 2]
I saw this guy, eyes closed in the dark, smoke in his car
Parked in front of his apartment looking broken to shards
I figure his wife is upstairs alone in the bed
While he wrestles this indulgence instead. But you know how it is
You've got to savor every moment you get
'cos if there's anything bigger than us it's over our heads
And we don't know what it is. We're just holding it in
'til we explode like a balloon that just got poked with a pin
I saw this woman in the market wearing jogging shorts
Eyeing the quarts of Haagen Dazs and Edy's Chocolate S'mores
Some kind of endorphins she was tryin'a unlock for sure
The same as all the skeletons we push behind the closet door
And I'm a connoisseur of that kind of demonic lore
So surely I could recognize it in the line at stores
Sometimes I feel like I'm on overload
The whole human race melting together like a bowl of snow

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Put a fist up in the air; it's intense to be here
Kin to one of the lineages that entropy spared
It makes no sense to be scared or to focus on your cellmate
That's self-hate. We're made the same 'til the conveyor belt breaks
All felt, tape, and assorted parts, little more than organs, hearts
Enormous shards of lower primates climbing through the forest
This, how mortals are. It could hardly be more bizarre
It's just what we're trained to expect and how we came to rest. Check it:
Less than a tenth of a percent of the genes differ
Between the single mom with three kids and the dude who evicts her
Between the lesbian couple out on a date and the
Couple two tables away who waste their whole evening hating them
Now, I'm not saying I'm better or which side is wrong
I'm saying it's wrong we even see a divide at all
I'm saying I've got love for what we bring to the potluck
And what say we do not judge others for being not us? Huh?

[Hook]

[Outro]
The meaning of life
I don't know if I have an answer for the meaning of life
I guess a simple answer is...
The meaning of life is to live and to die
And whatever in between is for interpretation
