The Arrival - G H X S T .

Are you afraid of the world outside, Fond of the scales growing over our eyes, The catalyst thrives mortality undone, You're defective I'm done with it, Mold the world until it fits in your answer, Cheat every test to press on, Twist the world like it doesn't matter, Turn every truth to venom, I see the hurricane on the horizon, I know the eyes of the storm will swallow me whole, Believe in the lies they use to break you, I'm wasting my time trying to save you, Increasing contamination, The veins in my eyes start to split and tear, You poisoned the the air, Total hypocrisy, A plague on humanity, Feel the noose pulling tighter and tighter, Draining the strength to press on, So kick the chair, Finding that nobody cares, I see the hurricane on the horizon, I know the eye of the storm will swallow me whole, Were nothing if were not cursed, A dead march for the singular being, Everything you are disappears, A hollow shall programmed for hatred, No point in being, You fake to fit the whole, No individual, Watch them take control, Its unforgivable, Wasting away to nothing in an instant, Failed by the kids that define my existence, The catalyst thrives, Mortality undone, You're defective I'm done with it.

I'm not really supposed to talk about this... but... With the excitement of a new born Came to join the main event and fight against the luke warm With nothing but they word and they history Take a can of paint and try to decorate they dignity It's not what they anticipate But, fuck, it doesn't matter, put your fists up and instigate And they can't save the planet Or the children of the bandits Or themselves god damn it I'm just a man that loved rap, so much in fact I put every piece of myself inside these fucking cracks What is that, you whisper something from the back? You think your personal attacks Make up for what you lack? I'm just a cat searching for a clean lap To crash in a world hurting, waiting for they turn to take a nap Sorting through bills, fan mail and life threats Wonderin why the postman ain't delivered my wife yet They call me Sean, this is Anthony No need to act hard cause we got extended family So I smile while I try to use my words wise Say what I meant just in case this is your first time Via child of the wings tired Smilin' like a couple of fools that the queen hired Can't wait for the vibrate to thicken So we can watch the world tip side. WAIT! Even the dead's gettin live It's a little deeper, you can float, come on baby dive! To fall in love with this bitch From the petals on her flowers to the pimples on her tits Fuck the insults, and fuck the compliments Just wanna see the mommy free the honesty and the common sense Stop followin the wind that you swallow Cause it's too simple to aim for a target sittin on a fence We do it for the candle in the sky Here's a toast to those who can't handle their high You and I, we can swim into the tide And watch these other children lose they mind (I'm growing tired!) And they landed safe and sound Better try to take 'em out before they make their saviors proud So fix your beef, quit actin' like a sheep Either spit your speak or sit there and grit your teeth To spread the info to the kin folk Fuckin' with the climate on the inside of the windows They're here, the baby farmers gonna take it farther Make a mark and break apart your fake martyrs Plans act firm, let the planet burn Understand the terms, you don't wanna open up this can of worms I'm tryin to keep the prize on the eyeball But people wanna see you fly all to watch the sky fall Who's to blame for your lack of conviction I wasn't drafted, I asked for the mission Put your name on the list at the bottom on an empty line And hope in plain sight what ever gave you the right to question mine? The night prowler, gonna crawl past all the rap politics You can put that on your last dollar Wake up, it's bigger than a pay stub There's the door, get your money, go wash off your make-up And they don't need to love it If you don't wanna give it, keep it Doesn't really mean nothin' Come and beat it 'til it stops breathin' No need to even try to reason When they not leavin'

Find me in the heart of the flames Burn it down, burn my memories to the ground Weave your web turn me into a maze I'm spiralling again, staring into your gaze Burn it down, burn it down, burn it all down Burn my memories to the ground I was lost to a thief that I couldn't see All this time you were killing me Did you fall? Did you fall? Did you fall into the fire? Or stand aside as it all came Crashing down around what's left of you and I Did you fall? Did you fall? Or did you climb a little higher? You stabbed me in my back, time and time again Now there's nothing left, but the ghost of you and I I always knew that it would end like this You kept me prisoner from the start I always knew that you would let me down Your grief is my closure Tried to crawl back, tried to get inside Tried to fuck my mind Nothing can rectify, the pain the guilt, I won't back down I'm bringing destruction now watch it unfold Your reign will end, I'll show you how Burn it the fuck down Burn it I was lost to a thief that I couldn't see All this time you were killing me Did you fall? Did you fall? Did you fall into the fire? Or stand aside as it all came Crashing down around what's left of you and I Did you fall? Did you fall? Or did you climb a little higher? You stabbed me in my back, time and time again Now there's nothing left, but the ghost of you and I I was lost to a thief that I couldn't see All this time you were killing me Looking back I was blind to my misery Now I've opened my eyes I'm finally free
