Self
Verse 1
I just want my own car, my own clothes, my own bed
, my own rest, my own debt
, my own head, my own stress
I just want my own chase
, my own space, with no trace, my own cake and eat it in my own cage
My own time, my own line,
my own pen, my own paper
outside, my own trust,
my own lie
I just want my own thoughts
, my opinion, bad decisions
, my flaws,
I don’t want yours
My own complex
, my own context,
convex mind caved in, confess with no strings left
My own emotion, over flowing, closed or open. Tongue like a trigger, holding back loaded plosives
My own name, my own brain
, my own pain,
my own DNA
I just want my own self
but self is an illusion.
I am just everyone around me in a fucking fusion
Verse 2
Everyone is so flawed
Even your idols, behind closed doors
Be cautious in the footprints you follow
Pick and choose the lessons and the bullshit you borrow
Take the good from a given individual
, be careful of residual left overs, and pitiful
Pettiness that comes from people and their
Selfish remedies which result in evil
Possessing them like an entity
, feeding on your soul trying to fuck up your empathy
Transforms you into an enemy
Lusting over envy, pride, boiling endlessly
Watch your mind shrink, your heart break, your pride fake
, the rest will fade away, your expiration date is coming
If you can’t locate the self
Watch out because you will become somebody else
Verse 3
I’ve always been a bright bubble
, standing behind a body,
seeing before eyeballs,
my ego's a fucking copy
I can’t help it when this
ID is out to stop me
Super ego sitting on my the head
tries to shock me
All these hands are destined to do is
dig dirt
Scribble a shit verse 'til my
wrist hurts
Coz we’re all speckles and dust
, freckles and fucks
Constellations and crumbs
, echoes from cunts
Deep depression, we don't have a reason
Crossing off the calendar, it’s suicide season
70% of time sleeping
Nightmares about waking up in the night screaming
My thinking and my instinct are too different
My impulses, and ideology don’t mix in
What prince with one brain can think twice
On a white sphere in space, spikes and thin ice
