From the moment I was born, I felt nothing Emotions never forming, the thoughts never sparking Up an interest belonging wholly of my own I followed my father from home after home I'm a mercenary, simple, an easy way of living Bandits for money, messy and rewarding Contorting a land slowly brimming with terror Where every single action can be fatal error This Ashen Demon felt none of their stings, Needles from looks, feelings, gossip and mumblings While father looked on, looked for change in the course I wondered why his smile gave a prick of remorse Until there was a chance, but was it a chance? A happenstance related to my father's past Back as a knight in a monastic order That I was never taught, only his sword, no quarter And I was introduced to all of his past Which became my future, but how long would that last? A professor in their ranks, with little review While the voice in my head started to teach me too "You are the more than the sum of what you think you are You're the light beneath the heavens, a curse, a fallen star Your very touch can change the world, your very touch can scar But maybe you could heal if you just know who you are. I'm growing stronger every day, but you're growing ten fold Together we could sing until the molten earth grows cold Someday my voice may fade, but you'll never be alone. Eventually you got to learn to wake up on your own Chorus And then I met you, I met all of you You were the world to me, the one I never knew When I first felt joy, I barely realized When I first felt fear, it bursted from inside And when I shed tears, to shock and surprise You were there to comfort me, there to dry my eyes You're important to me, the reason I survive Could we go back to then, could we turn the hands of time? And then I saw you, I saw all of you You were the world to me, but your smiles are subdued When I now see you, that hope has turned to stone When I now see you, you're yearning, forloned And here we are, across battle lines, Between blood and swords, the tactics and lies You're important to me, the reason I survive, Could we go back to then, could we turn the hands of time? Could I still hear your voice, could you still be my guide? Still be my guide

Another night on the town, gotta show, represent, Someone's talking loudly during most of my set There's sitting in the back, didn't pay a single cent They've been smoking since one on the same cigarette Talking big game, the king of the roost, The sun won't come up, they won't give it a boost Loosening their tongue with a slug of cheap beer Undulating accomplishments for everyone to hear! You acting so slick, think you're professional. Your mouthhole stretching, going ahegao Hearts in your eyes, Pavlov's conditional Wiping stains on a shirt from two bands ago. "Support your scene, as long as its me!" I'll give you the keys to the venue for a fee! And if you do real well and if I feel keen, You can be a opener with the other fifteen! But you have none of that man, just a Facebook, Where you go and rant, at what they forsook, What were the words? you couldn't say, You don't like how they look, burn 'em anyway You say something tasteless, notoriety, Got a Scapegoat? Society Be a little racist, get your allies Adapting to your lies, Gremlins from a mogwai Maybe it's not one person in particular! But you hear the warnings in your local vernacular Cursed under breath, open secrets up to bat, Waiting on them to trip, screaming bomboclaat Incoming tide, ride these hot takes. I'm not here for clout, I'm here to make mistakes Then I'm going home, I've got plenty of space, My Fantasy Zone doesn't need your waste

Well lately, I don't know what I'm doing I feel like I'm screwing up my whole life On the edge of a knife Life like but you can see the strings Pull the right one and you can see everything Made of me, vitamins, trifles and regrettables Anxiety filling, make the whole palpable Transform to a car, vroom out the scenery Put me on the shelf, never open the packaging! as cost decreased, i find myself in the least Props for another mind, Taking credit and keeps They're mounted on shoulders while I take the picture Foundation cracking from a bad endeavor Sit on the couch and and answer my questions It's time for us to begin a therapy session Strange as it seems your problems entertain me So tell me everything And I forgot to mention The cameras watching. They're always watching The ratings are soaring they're clamoring You must not tease them It stands to reason They want another season of your misery My therapist told just me to "be happy" Another one burned a CD labeled "Penis Envy" Sent me to a third who was just afraid of me Said Christ would not forgive the music I'm making Heavy Metal the law, Hip Hop is the word Comforting blankets never given, only earned Alluring pipers making dreams unfurled To playing shows to noone in strip malls the world! but Still I make the lyrics and still I make a beat I put them together make a tasty treat! And still I put ramen in the microwave to heat, Sit watching the clock, the rapper's suite complete Repeat! CHORUS REPEATS Time left Time off Time out Time's up Time to buy a watch, app's broken on my phone time to buy a watch I'm broken in my dome I've gone by Crowbar longer than I have Johnathan My twitter handle longer than this conversation Doc Isaac long enough to wish I had a reason To go beyond the silly, would that be my treason? Does it mean that I have grown, does it mean that I am sad Does it mean more open mics because then I'll be hella mad But still i'll stand up here man so whatever Let's go ahead make another bad endeavor! CHORUS REPEATS

I'm a doomscroller, I'm scrolling through everyday I'm looking through the internet hoping everything's okay But it's not, it never will be, things are changing rapidly Blink your eyes once and you'll miss a tragedy Refresh the feed, freed from forgotten tides Swept by new ones, engulfed from all sides Imbibe the response, likes and retweets of all kind Ratio'd takes so bad they stand the test of time And still I refresh and refresh and refresh I cannot sleep I will not there's so much left To be horrified by as my mental state's aware This magic little box Pandora streamed and shared But what can I do when nothing excites anymore? Video Games now bore, books stay on the floor Quarantine's won, but I still won't go out there Where the assholes lurk maskless in dead stares This is important, it must all be taken in Continue my torment, take it on the chin "Go to sleep" they plead, "Rest, leave the stage." I think I'll do that, just let me reload the page This is a problem This is a problem This is a problem This is me.

Whatcha got there? Fame?! How'd you get that? Noone knows where it came! Found on your bed from the TMZ Fairy Just another pawn of the Cygnet Committee! Enticing: Fame?! Wave to your fans! Senpai is noticing! Walking down the street you're beaming, shining. Skyrocketting your instagram following! But there's a catch: fame! Once latched time is falling too fast Say the wrong word you bring shame to the game Andy Warhol got it right in the first aim And at fifteen? Fame?! You're angsting in letters to Hermione Hogwarts won't even put you in. You're a muggle disguised as a Slytherin What's that in your hand? Fame?! Oh my god, better keep it contained One touch you'll never be the same featuring pitbull on your refrain And after that, fame?! You're now a typecast, much to your disdain Confined to reality tv Never finishing your Berlin Trilogy! You're spiraling, Fame? Building pawn shops for a third rate family Opening lockers to say your catchphrase Flocking to the trends on your Facebook page But what about me? Fame!? Hah, Doc Isaac's got nothing to proclaim There's no hope for a nerdy rapper. Why do you think I'm a software developer? Still they fight for it Still they try for it Still they wish for the day they can have it To validate themselves among the peers they see Dismiss those fears with cheers at life's little house party We all do it man We all dream of it man We may even do things just for the chase of it man But first I'll settle for being as good as I can be If I'm not having fun, well maybe fame is not for me

Pirating in space never seems to go quite as planned Especially if you're against the Legend Samus Aran, Chosen by those Chozo bozos, their power suit she's clad, Taking a toll on our profits, oh how she will be damned But as I understand it, Ridley's got me on lock, Hunting a brand new crop, Metroids fresh! Well in stock! Deploying sensors, sector's rekt, treasure soon awaits, At a place we designate: S-R-Three-Eighty-Eight CHORUS Pirating the stars, I'm looking for the perfect con, Bioweapons on, pirates hailing a new dawn, Energy we seek from a parasitical spawn I will find Danger lurking everywhere, caverns full of terror Creatures take control, there's never room for error Rush of glory, Ridley praise me forever I will find Landed on the planet, dammit, ship busted, I gotta hoof it, First on these rocks, I am shocked, but now I gotta go and prove it, Before the Feds get an inkling why I'm here A sinking feeling leers, gulp it down, beacon's drawing nears Acid blocking routes of this ancient colony, Ruins mystifying, perplexing society Earthquaking almost make me miss what I've come to face A Metroid herd floating on, I know I must make haste Take the road most travelled, but where have they all gone? Cargo slipping away with the last light of the sun Activate night vision, all I see are piles of bones, Shocking, creeping, realizing: I am not alone! Drones fire ablaze, dive to the rocks to keep at bay Rocks chipping away, recharge my shield in dismay I thought it would be easy, a simple recovery, But for Ridley I'd go to hell, a battlecry I will sing! CHORUS REPEATS Standing in front of the Chozo shrine door Breathing heavily, scattered drones on the floor Open up, see the metroids waiting all for me Grin victoriously, time to begin the capturing! Traps unlatch, metroids react, too fast for me but I relax Machines take care of them for me, Space Pirates are back on track Euphoric Ecstacy, their cries soothing me softly Mision Complete, but maybe they're not calling to me? Turn around to see the rest of their Pack Different stages never seen, I gasp, on stance attack Take a step back, drop my things, try to flee the scene But blocking the entrance: the giant Metroid Queen! Her fangs grip my skin, I cringe, incisions sucking deep within My core being wiped dry, life force now becoming dim Can barely even scream, I feel a dream, my eyes are so heavy, And as I disappear and I hear is me saying "I'm sorry, Ridley." Pirating the stars never made me feel so far gone, Bioweapons on, but now I am noone, Energy we sought from a parasitical spawn What you'll find Never try to land on SR388, Your disregard will doom you, it will be all too late Noone should even attempt this vile fate What you'll find

I live in the present, but sometimes I wish I didn't, Live it up and leave a mess, it's not the way I planned it I want my future bright but I can't understand it Without being blinded by the sight, chained to the stress I must confess, mindlessly I see the screen Absorbing blue light, I'm a Facebook Casualty Watching the flow, planted from the seed's feed My jealousy grows, a treehouse in the leaves. One step makes a better man, but two will make you bitter And everything is backwards, a terror in the mirror I try to calm the fear, go on with my dreams That's when I freeze, for bad things come in threes. Back to my routine, lacking in the extremes, But at least this way, I won't be dying with a scream It'll be from black moods, depression and dismay I stare through windows: dark, cold and grey Hey This is where I am today, fading so far away Got my puzzle all arranged yet I'm still forgetting me But I got to move on and sing my song, this is me telling me to keep being strong My time on earth, it only seems to be fading away This is who I am today, scared what tomorrow will bring Hiding in my bed, I said it's so warm though I'm still shaking But I got to get up, give the world a little smile, forget my small worries for a small little while My time on earth, it only seems to be fading away All my songs seem to end in optimism But the burnout boils away the remaining drops of liquid. Laying in the desert, parched from the harsh words Beating in my brain, no matter how absurd The vultures look and I can't help but laugh I wonder what pop culture ref will be on my epitaph. Will they try to brainstorm a better phrase to say Only to give up halfway and say "Eh, He was okay!" No! Is there a purpose for my fight? When the walls are closing in and my chest feels so tight? A spark in my head, The Will returns again, Open a file, let the typing begin. Export my mind, put it all into the rhyme Ignore those who cry but I won't subside. Or fit into their image, man, it's do or die I'm going to carve a path and hope things will be fine! Fear is the mind killer, It's the little death that brings total oblivion A reason for tears, I could pick one in a million It's a mad world, but let's make use of our pavillion I gotta explore, make some mistakes that I adore. Success never gives a hand if you're on the floor And if I stare at the ceiling, that answer won't come I'm done with all that in fact, let's find a new drum Heh, I'm not breaking my trend, I look to the future with new optimism. Hey CHORUS REPEATS
