i said my existential crisis over
and at the time i'm fine, my mind just get behind the odor
time's how i get by, i don't rely on finding types of clovers
changed by some divine controlant
the shit i'm smoking potent, help me control my emotions
keep em checked, and keep my breath concealed to what's believed as best
my meek impressions, kinda get congested when i kneecap steps
i don't await arrivals of the visits when it sees me next
i'm tryna just believe that it would leave me after recent threats
bless
bless
i said i'm coping with a copious amount of doubt recently
come out my mouth and every word just hits the ground in secrecy
i hide my feelings to the same extent as people seeing me
in public, so that means i just babble out all my decency
i keep the masterkey, but i still tend to lose it frequently
i understand it's not in my hands, but it's still beneath me, see
i feel i'm better than i'm at the peak when this shit reaching me
and sleep and heaving be the only reasons i've been breaching peace
bless
bless
they say emotions are an artform, i guess that i'm an artist then
compare my shit to all that's in my area, i'm artisan
compare my shit to everyone i've birthed, then i'm no artermis
my mind migrates on my own, and no one flocks to this
i promise this, you try and steal my stallion, ain't down to win
my style too out there for anyone to come around and kick
i feel like i just stumbled off the edge of something mountainous
and building me back up is what amounts to what i'm counted in
bless
i'm so, blessed

i said, i've been on the outside, not looking in, and cooked again
i'm trying to combat throughout this crookedness i'm pushed within
so fuck a friend, i'm down on all my luck and still don't act all plucked and ruffled man
i'm stuck until i cluck inside my coffin's grip down in the pit, i'm sick of it
mindstate borderline
i knew my cycle had began again when my room floor had got disorganized and acted like i'm sort of fine
so god bless my friends around me, i can tell that they were mortified
i act obsessive, i can't fathom thoughts dealing with hordes of i
i'm impatient, i can't face it, taking their support with sorts of stride
cordial cries whining wide, and yet they all ring empty
but that's the pessimist in me, even when i'm acting friendly
shit, it's difficult to balance both, eyeballing shit is tricky
so please stick with me while i'm self-destructive
and i don't blame you if you choose to leave, i feel though my whole world right now is prone to crumbling
hard to not come off guilt trippy, or like i'm up to something
hard to feel like i ain't ruined shit, or feel unpolished cause it
hard to call it, collared to the wall, malnourished body sluggish
ruins falling on my noggin, toppling
ozymandias' sandstorm blanketed and ransacked my hospice cottage
my macabre thoughts stockpiled, vile with my conscience
keep them out of pocket often, cautious, seek my imagine spotless
god it's hard, i can't keep stalling
my metabolic rate is slower than a tarpit bubbling, losing weight so much is troubling
through discomfort, lost my moral compass
acted opposite of pompous, confident i'll bounce back enough to stop it often
at least i hope
so now my health delayed in retrograde
and it's gotten to the point where taking drugs is an escape instead of escapades
i've feel i've done too much to where i can't clean up the mess i've made
the estuaries to my brain connect my brain, keep leaking man
sometimes i feel the songs i make are nothing but some quick complaints
i know that's not the case but hard to swallow i'm not spilling angst
i keep it blunt as what i smoke for pain
i momentarily overcame, but i'll be here again
i know it's just apart of game

denial 🌲🌊 (ft. Animist)

i feel i've overstayed my welcome, know the outcome too well
i've played the alchemist's "e. coli" every time i'm not well
tryna find, someone to relate to, or somewhere to escape to
tryna scrap a couple reasons to feel somebody don't hate you
it's like being on veteran mode the prior playthrough
and the first boss is like the final ending that you can't do
i'm hoping someone turns the corner, looks at me like "hey dude,
it's okay to be ashamed or dismayed at what you say too."
i promise, get you back in touch, you see them better days soon
you always being heavy-minded, and that shit make hate bloom
it's like you tryna bring them bad emotions to the gravestone
and now the wave's blown over like mistakes that's from the same boat
i saved a snap three years ago, i was in therapy
and three years later, i still need that type of care for me
it's apparent and aware to me that i tread carefully
through shallow waters, tryna now drown in something narrowly
i lost fifteen pounds and my doctor said that she's proud of me
but do i tell her it's from throwing up?
proclivity of naiveté i'm going through keep showing up, and guess what
i found it don't get easier when growing up
my coconut's been soaked in blood, so what's up?
i'm supposed to sit here in the mud just hoping that i hit the mark?
this tape is just a cry for help for all the cards that i was dealt
and all the hands i held had slipped, already now, i've hit the ground
i'm in denial and i'm sinking now
currents tryna mow me down
but i gotta take the scenic route
and bleed it out
denial and i'm sinking now
currents tryna mow me down
but i gotta leave my house
and i can't get out
outta sight, outta mind, i never look into that water
broken nails into these coffins, scratching out my problems
i'm running until i'm coughing blood, i keep running that the faucet
to hide the unforgotten that been haunting up my conscience
i never talk about these things, they saying it's denial
haven't used, it been a while, drugs inducing fluent style
running in a marathon, and tripping on the final mile
ceiling filled with broken tiles, cabinets only dust piles
shit, it's just something i'm getting used to, i lose too
so many instances, so my wins been getting useful
trying to find a loophole out of my mind is a usual
zoning in and out of my convos, trauma trumping in my new view
of life i've been trying to find with no success
looking for the light, now i'm blinded by being direct
inside my mind, and i try and try just to dissect
now i'm broken down and unable to focus on what's next
watch my steps

i said, therapy ain't free so i pay more for a zip
i guess the verse ain't reaching locals, so the chorus should hit
i know my mind a mess, i'm bored, and steady smorgasing shit
i'm at a loss for words, still manage to record in a minute
therapy ain't free so i pay more for a zip
i guess the verse ain't reaching locals, so the chorus should hit
i know my mind a mess, i'm bored, and steady smorgasing shit
i'm at a loss for words, still manage to record in a minute
i'm finding solace in the hardest of places
but heard through the grapevine that it's fine and i know i can take it
my bad attitude sits on my shoulder, as i'm older, i've felt vacant
but lets face it, i've been here before, of course i know i'll make it
the journey, to be expected, is to not be accepted
i've felt anxious, crestfallen and restless up in my bed, shit
i bottle things up too much, without saying much
then crack another bottle just to coddle and then chuck it up for later after twisting blunts
i'm crossfaded off a paper trail of hundreds i've been saving up
only to blow it all in a sec up off a case of bud
after i had claimed to stunt, i really hope i make it up
an eighth of shrooms consumed confine me to my room, confused
really if you're in my place too, you'd ask me what to do
i'm out of tune, and out of town too much to feel out of the loop
i'm shouting, hoping that you can hear me and all my breaking news
i don't know what to do
i don't know what to do
but, fuck it, because
therapy ain't free so i pay more for a zip
i guess the verse ain't reaching locals, so the chorus should hit
i know my mind a mess, i'm bored, and steady smorgasing shit
i'm at a loss for words, still manage to record in a minute
therapy ain't free so i pay more for a zip
i guess the verse ain't reaching locals, so the chorus should hit
i know my mind a mess, i'm bored, and steady smorgasing shit
i'm at a loss for words, still manage to record in a minute
i said i got vices
for me to feel some
and if they fight you
then don't end up like me

murky waters causing problems for me, shit, i got a boatload
it gets tricky when it goes from "i think so," to "i hope so," i don't know though
prescriptions missing from the kitchen, put my feelings in a prison
hopefully in slow-mo to show for
to prove i'm trying something, too much mistakes today, just know i'm crying from it
from the fact my mind prevents my ass from lying, cousin
so easy does it, baby steps the path it takes to break regrets and prior clutches
taking meds from when "surf" dropped in hopes to quiet something
because my mind is rushing, i'm tired of it
it broke my heart when i looked in the canister and saw a pill left, man you gotta love it
progression is a couple steps behind me, and i'm still struggling
the people jealous of my pen don't get it, i'm just tryna heal with words rather make a mil from it
stomach grumbling from the lack of meals, fronting
from depression that i'm in, the pit is like a real substance, and the bill collector's coming
man, my heart hurts and i'm still worried bout tomorrow
instead of now, so recollect myself and count my scars first
it's almost two years, you really wanna make your arms worse?
and the toll you took on your emotions seemed to dawn on her
i'm hoping now ain't awkward
do you know the guilt i hold from fucking someone who's innocent's emotions up?
aight man, so hit me back when you do
i'm packing my truth, while still tryna patch up a truce
it's nothing proud i like to carry, typically would have me buried
my face inside of the pavement, facing people after scary
i'm kinda helpless, just hope to break the cycle this time
i'm optimistic, in my prime to refine, in due time
i know there's no malice, but it's hard for me to feel that way
imagine how she feels all the time to look up at my face
and know that i'm the catalyst that put her stalemate
it's almost like the hills i made are too hard to scale today
my mental health impaled and flayed
and all erosion that was caused by me to wither way was far too much a fare to pay
i'm paralyzed in narrow space
my knuckles leaking from me sparring with the mirror shards apart when i get carried way
i'm hoping that my therapist would answer me
cause everyday's a different pace
and i'm getting close to teetering to stay
the meter's paid, and i'm running out of change
so all my patience slowly strained
time expired to my name, i hate to say

trauma (ft. vaselife)

i said i'm puking from anxiety, the vomit water spray my face
wow, i'm still amazed about the state of things
the clock move slower in the AM, praying that the day would change
while still hoping things remain the same
my mama said don't hide up in my room all day and we can talk about it
it's better than me tryna walk around it
and it's astounding, i feel like i’m a bile fountain
that amounts in more mileage than a car that keeps rerouting
i don't want to be awake, but having nightmares about it still
a whole day is how an hour feel
i cower fear away because i feel a weakness spilling how i feel
it took a bit, but see it mirror clear
my chest has tremors from it, want to hit the peak but i ain't reach the summit
spent too much throughout the week shaking and grieving from it
need discussion, avoid it, instead i put emotions into words and then record it, never distorted
i'm straightforward, but that's what gets me into trouble most
i stumble into ice and feel i'm falling in and out of moats
just know i’m sorry for my callous quotes
but i've said too much tryna recover this time, and i know how that goes
insomniatic walking mat
and if you really wanna find me, take a look at the ground where people stomping at
advantage is my modus operandi, in the meantime
i see my deterioration, and only leak eyes
i gotta lotta unsolved inner monologues
so i let my pills dissolve, and klonopin feels like a tylenol
i'm sleeping on the floor again, i hope there isn't more of this
the last time that i did this, i was tormented through lauren's shit
my paranoia's flourished more since days that i was born with it
and ever since have spent days settling scores with scorn and shit
disjointed all the thorns out my core side and my orifices
and still fight everyday inside my mind in bloody tournaments
i guess i'm headed to the scorcher then
tryna fight my trauma from the past turns to abhorrent, man
my cortex feeling porous, pouring skeletons out
of my unhinged closet, i need to figure this out, and now
he estado aquí varias veces
no es mi lugar favorito
odio tanto que sin darme cuenta regrese
y no puedo hacer nada más que hacerme chiquito
sabes, esto hace parte de mí
casi todo, siento honesto
pero no es tan lindo aquí
si lo fuera, sería menos, lo que lo detesto
[english translation:]
i've been here a lot of times
it's not my favorite place
i hate (so much) the fact that, without realizing it, i come back
and i can't do anything but make myself little
you know, this is part of me
almost all of me, being honest
but it's not so pretty here
if it were, i would despise it less

self care (interlude)

i love your soul for the sole time
console mines, but when lines get blurred
the borders confining coal mines
the whole time was saying that, was saying that
but now i don't feel the same way no more
don't sleep away the day
instead i use it on myself
i pled, and bled too many times
to rest, ingested all the medicine
and shit, and still not finding peace
within my head, i need some help
i put the food i stare at longer than eating
where it don't belong, back up on the shelf
til all the keys was dealt
and all the peace and treaties kept
and every burnt up secret left
i'm slowly relearning how to feed myself
every time i'm meager
every step i take that's weaker
mind me that i can't make it through the week
sans entire seasons leaving, it seems, it seems
when treated with a regal greeting
i drop to my knees, shaking, humbled
due to all the praises fleeting
case be leaking, brain is weeded
frame is rigid, time constricted
life is frigid, i don't get it
gotta find ways for me to be resilient
without needing pills and
outseeing shrills, the thrills distant
done been broken, hopeless, need fixing
trees twisted, wreaths hitting

but now it’s juxtaposed, so i suppose
that imma need to raise the bar again
and let my shadow show when confidence arose
i used to think it was the final straw
despite the flaws, i'm standing tall
and still i got the scars to prove i beat the claws
man, at least that's what i used to think
but nowadays, i been off the chain with broken bonds
i stopped that once had used to link
the puke in sink mixed with the mucus leak
my throat shattered, not from rapping
but from every instance holding screams
but now i’m safe again, found tranquility for now
but the cycle's never-ending, in the future, know i'll drown
i’m not prepared for it, it's the déjà vu effect
and though i pulled myself out, predict the currents drag me back, man
PART II: 6.21 𓆣
i don’t know how to make you happy
i don’t know how to make you sad
i don't, make you happy, i-i make you sad
i don't, make you happy, i-i make you sad
i don't, make you happy, i-i make you sad
i don't, make you happy, i-i make you sad
i don't, make you happy, i-i make you sad
i don't, make you happy, i-i make you sad
