(Verse 1) Once upon a time I lived inside of bliss, Each mountain that I climbed was a pathway full of fibs, A moment in my mind, That led me here to this, In the lights where I find the road to ignorance, and it's taken so long for me to forgive, The swans for their song need to learn how to live, I was caught inside the clouds till the moment that I fell, and below the shrouds of the mist all was well, Yet still I was scared I mean how would you feel, If everything you cared about really wasn't real, Was I lost forever how can I hold together, Within the change of weather from myself I felt the severe, 6 months later I met a new friend, A gifted debater right up until the end, And inside my head no more I it was we, Then my skin she'd when I learned that it was me. (Chorus) This is my story, this is my path. This is my story, watch it roll past. This is my story, this is my path. This is my story, watch it roll past. (Verse 2) Once upon a time I lived inside the world, I needed to find the message that unfurled, From where it would start and begin anew, I never claimed to be smart still the answer over due, In the end it was dark I saw the nightmare, Couldn't ignite the spark if i came from nowhere, So I searched and I searched couldn't find any clues, And the only thing that worked was to live out my blues, I was sad and alone still the message never came, The light can't be shown and the dark can't be tame, Hearing voices all around each argued differently, When the only way I found peace was with me, From inside from within I found my own soul, Was then I could begin to truly feel whole, Maybe in the end it could work for you cause maybe I could win if I believed that it was true. (Chorus) This is my story, this is my path. This is my story, watch it roll past. This is my story, this is my path. This is my story, watch it roll past. (Verse 3) Once upon a time I lived inside a dream, Syncopated beats to rhyme a cinematic memory, It led me to my next ascending masterpiece, You could say that I'm blessed I just hold all my keys, Now I'm leading to success this timing is best, I'm the king to my chess I control all the rest, Of the pieces I hold all close to my chest, So when I grow old they can take hold the nest, But if I am real I will start to decay, They won't care how I feel there won't be a delay, But I choose to perceive my life in my way, So I choose to believe in a bright and sunny day, Hey, lets fix my vision, Pay, my heart a visit, They, choose a decision, Wait, new option given, It is now my plan for me to follow, My hearts full of land while some are hollow.

(Verse 1) Falling forward to the last a blast from my past, A craft an ancient mantra these fallen angels laughed, I'm feeling wound up from the knots that I've cast, Soon the world is stranger there's no manger for my path, The weather's changing suddenly there's something burning under me, Where will you be when the government says come to me, Help afford this co-pay to afford the Koolaid, Drink up and sit back a genocide that's man-made, Slowly we indulge in natures choke-hold, It's time that we let go or be ready to fold, Cause when shes had enough mother nature do your stuff, She can handle us close the door to keep it shut, Cause Harvey and Irma they pull and they let go, The screams are falsetto this doesn't seem retro, The blind who cannot see the vision to let be, Reviving the Nazi the hate at the ready, To me it's despicable and no way feasible, An idea that can trick a whole group enabled, (Verse 2) Sipping back I bought a bottle, Closing down I shut the shuttle, Of my mind I shrug a struggle, Walking on I bust a bustle, Honestly I thought I'm thoughtful, Once a time was all but awful, Sit beneath a stronger stronghold, Break it if it's brought from Donald, Trump the rest is far forgotten, Time's have led us to a rotten, Apple of my eye the faucet, Draining all my minds accomplish, Mint condition haven't lost it, All the skeletons in closets, Smoking all my fears to droplets, dripping out the arms of younger dreams, Of ending all world hunger, For a bit of my ambitions, Creeping till I take admissions, Paying for the strange addiction, Killing all that's left from reasons, Stopping my precise precision, From a sniper while he listens, To a man with worse decisions, Leading me to deeper water, Plant so that the worlds not hotter, Climate's gonna kill and slaughter, Housing all your sons and daughters, Stripping off the paint I cry out, Finding all that does surround, Me through all that lies around about, Until I heard the sound. (Verse 3) I wake up to fumes smoke and ash blooms, I'm fueling the fire that was said to transpire, Not the future just a threat from the books used to set, All desire to regret and resort to what's left, The walls start to melt at the crack of their belts, Story lines on my skin I felt sorry for them, From deep down within and I'll tell you why, Just because you win doesn't always mean you're right.

(Verse 1) I feel electric in my veins and I might be scatterbrained, So I tangent on and on to convince me I'm okay, And I feel it in my chest it reminds me of regrets, Or the things that I've felt blessed and the plans I haven't checked, Can you find it in your heart see that life is not that hard, Still it rains on window panes wait I think I need to dart, Run a lap around the sun tell a nation not to run, Will the kids ever have fun or still worry about guns, It's rushing through my head I can't remember what I did, And my friends are getting fed about the messages I send, So entangles in a web not of lies but what I said, Keeping up with where I led them from dreams within my head, And I carry on and on losing track of where I've gone, Wait I swear I'm almost done I said the story would be long, And sorry now I've lied about the words I should of timed, It's not you it's me I promise, It's not me it's just my mind. (Verse 2) I think about problems my brain who can solve em, The pain isn't fallen I'm lost and forgotten, Searching for something the news tells me nothing, Why am I cosigning for something that's rotten, It's taken me slower it's making me older, It's making me colder and now I can't stop it, Forging this new path is making me do math, It's not adding up is it truly subtracting, Better to revise than multiplication, By forming more neurons I find a sensation, It's desperately hiding the door isn't sliding, No cracking or budging it's closed and it's shut, Crawling my way in I'm anticipating, The vision is fading I've gone to deep, I'm swimming I'm guiding the waters aligning, In the depths I'm finding it's bottling me, Swimming I'm guiding the waters aligning, In the depths I'm finding it's bottling me, Swimming I'm guiding the waters aligning, In the depths I'm finding it's bottling me, Bottling me. (Verse 3) Just reach into my mind and look behind disguise, That everything can happen there is no surprise, It's all just unlimited lets not get sentiment, This game's all for fun so lets get ahead of it, Fast forward a while and you will see my smile, For now it is false I'm not in denial, I'd rather see a future than a world so grim, So you can keep on drowning while I learn to swim, You can't take take my life life and put it away, I will shake shake the strife from me feeling dismay, And I'll break break your confidence you must obey, So while I'm living free be ready to stay.

(Verse 1) Knowledge is power, We've learned from the system, Marching to the beat, That my drummer is hitting, But out on the street, There is love that is missin', Yeah you hear it now, But really did you listen, Knowledge is power, So I'll say it again, To truly know evil, And still play pretend, Out in the skies there is money to lend, Could you spare a little change for a friend, Within the system we tend to play along, Always too afraid to play our own song, Always underpaid for the work that is long, It's time for a change, Together we are strong, A tyrants just a man if you choose not to follow, A governments a thought if their office is hollow, A pill is just a rock if you decide not to swallow, Once there is a plan together we will wallow. (Verse 2) Knowledge is power, Big brother lurks beneath, Seeking for destruction, A nation to deceive, With only one path, We're forced to believe, That only one way can exist as a need, Rearrange your mind, Yo find your way out, Some were born to speak, I was born to shout, Let the messages align to stop doubt, Try to find out what your life's about, Speaking of life tell me who you live for, Could you be happy rich, If you've been poor, Saw a man laying down, With clothes that are tore, Would you let him die there, With his life on the floor, Reach out your hand if you wanna stay true, You gotta take a stand what else can you do, Sure be cold he might do the same too, But what would you do if you knew that it was you.

(Verse 1) I just want to say I'm sorry, To those that I made worry, Caught gazing far beyond, Why was I in such a hurry, Chasing down the maze, till I thought I saw your gaze, But little did I know, I was caught inside a daze, Dizzy I heard the sound, Shaking I clutch the ground, Amazing I'm leaving now, Just look at the stars wow, Ain't it beautiful, What you imagined, As I'm flying past the moon, I can feel the forces grabbing, Rotating inside my mind, Faded in the lights I find, This new inspiration, I made it beyond my time, Ignited I feel the spark, I'm venturing into dark, I'm staring at what is left, I'm coming to make my mark, When all is lost and all is found, Everybody hit the ground I see you sitting down as I'm blazing through the crowd, While you're barely breathing in Thinking how can I still win, Ignoring messages Saying hey how have you been. (Verse 2) Do you think you should be nervous, When the skies are grey and cloudy, It's deeper than the surface, Or area surrounding, Even when I fail, I can see you standing there, The image of a tale, Where my life is never fair, My future holds the chest, and this journey is my key, To see what unlocks next, It all depends on me, I won't fade into the night, Unless I am the light, No giving in or out, Not giving up this fight, I'll journey past this life, No regrets or strife, And when I'm moving on, I'll learn from what is gone, Although this sounds grave, It's for all the brave, Doing what's right, Doesn't always mean behave, If you're causing more pain, For the fact of your gain, Then somethings not right, From the color in your stain, Take a hand and live free, Live in curiosity, I don't know what you want, But it's the life that I seek.

Shots and shots I fill my bed, One after another I tilt my head, Empty voids filled with dread, Gain and lost until I'm dead, But don't worry it isn't what you think, It's just a piece of me that needs a link, Clip myself till I'm on the brink, Slowly I'll decay and shrink, Linking thoughts I create myself, You stay away I didn't ask for help, With each opinion I try to delve, Further upward until I reach the bell.
