Teenage insomniac with the lucid realization that this world isn't the same as it was when we were kids. It be just a labyrinth
Inspired by: "Los Dos Laberintos y Los Dos Reyes" and 11/11/11 with someone I used to know
lyrics
Eleven eleven now make a wish
Remember November the better of half (of me you) done get
Wish list full of Legos, maybe new bicycle petals
Because mama's red mountain bike is rust and no more metal
I got lust on my mental
No love
And if you asked me if I thought about the other side I'd shove you away
Cause I like grippin' the pain, it is so euphoric
And my grin shifted from a smile, now I am York
Because I keep pourin' all my troubles down my esophagus
I can't even remember the last time I felt some soft lips
Cause now I'm in my cove, up in my studio
And everything that glows, ain't gone be ruby, gold
But I will steal the throne from the king himself
Sometimes I do not think it's life but just a livin' hell
Oh God, here comes the pity me
And I continue sinnin' on a weekly basis, no imagery
No art, just a part of myself
My carpet full of that smell
When you recycle your heart, and then it melts
Need an oasis for this bi-polar disorder
Because when I look back on my lyrics, I say jinx gimme a quarter
It be all the same shit with no laxatives
And all the same pricks, like a herpy's piss
Aye yo, my verbiage not be the cup o' tea
My teacher told me so, so I'll proceed to write simply
This life be just a labyrinth, a puzzle
When life makes you drown, all it needs it some puddles
Dash a couple heartbreaks, a dead parent
And now you're at the rock bottom, suicide's apparent
But, please don't forget what you've been made to be
Everything is not gonna be Maybelline
So stay strong girl, this isn't our planet
A higher being leased it now it's up to us to seek past it
Aye yo relationships do come and go
You gotta find that perfect person that is worth the hold
The college loan or the loss of another one
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice to make that plateau reach the outer sun
And yo sometimes I hate the people I'm surrounded by
Sometimes I hate bein' the center of attention, why?
I like the limelight, but that shit was for grade school
And everything I'm not made me the outcast, I told you
Quote end quote, zipped lips on some geometry shit
So, I will let you reflect (like an) axis symmetric
Bold like a thick point sharpie
Mark these words before I hit the cradle in a heartbeat
My eyes droopy from my lack of sleep
But this life is too short to see it all in a peep: 16 hours
Hour glass and some quill, I see it all still
Cause I done froze time to realize this life's thrill
