Why does it feel like night today
Something in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head


It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me/Right underneath my skin



CHORUS:
It's like I'm Paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a,Whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I,Can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin


I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first but I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can


It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me/Right underneath my skin



CHORUS REPEAT 2x:
It's like I'm Paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a,Whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I,Can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin



REPEAT 3x:
The face inside is right beneath your skin


REPEAT 2x:
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me



CHORUS REPEAT 2x:
It's like I'm Paranoid lookin' over my back
(The sun)
It's like a,Whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I,Can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I feel the light betray me

One Step Closer

I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you say
You'll find that out anyway

(Just like before)


CHORUS:
Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge. And I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe
(Cause I'm one step closer to the edge. And I'm about to break)

I find the answers are so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again


(Just like before)


CHORUS:
Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge. And I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe
(Cause I'm one step closer to the edge. And I'm about to break)

Shut up when I'm talking to you


REPEAT 7x:
Shut up


I'm about to break



CHORUS:
Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge. And I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe
(Cause I'm one step closer to the edge. And I'm about to)

BREAK

With You

I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static/And put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering, I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake/Slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant/And I can't bring you back


It's true/The way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you


CHORUS:
You/Now I see/Keeping everything inside
(With you)
You/Now I see/Even when I close my eyes

I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor/The rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend that the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake/Slow to react
So even though you're close to me
You're still so distant/And I can't bring you back



It's true/The way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you


CHORUS REPEAT 2x:
You/Now I see/Keeping everything inside
(With you)
You/Now I see/Even when I close my eyes

No
REPEAT 2x:
No matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow


With you


CHORUS REPEAT 2x:
You/Now I see/Keeping everything inside
(With you)
You/Now I see/Even when I close my eyes

Points Of Authority

Forfeit the game/Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame/And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face/You can't run the race
The pace is too fast/You just won't last

You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life
My pride is broken


CHORUS:
You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you've learned)
You want to act like you're someone
(You live what you've learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you've learned)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)


You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life
My pride is broken


CHORUS:
You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you've learned)
You want to act like you're someone
(You live what you've learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you've learned)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)


(Yo, Yo)
REPEAT 2x:
Forfeit the game/Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame/And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face/You can't run the race
The pace is too fast/You just won't last

Crawling

CHORUS:
Crawling in my skin
These wounds / They will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real


There�s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming / Confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling / I can�t seem


To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence / I�m convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I�ve felt this way before
So insecure


CHORUS: Crawling in my skin
These wounds / They will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real


Discomfort, endlessly has pulls itself upon me
Distracting / Reacting
(Distracting)
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
(My own reflection)
It�s haunting how I can�t seem
(It's haunting)

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence / I�m convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I�ve felt this way before
So insecure


CHORUS REPEAT 2x:
Crawling in my skin
These wounds / They will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real


Confusing what is real
(There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface consuming)
Confusing what is real
(This lack of self-control I feel is neverending controling)
Confusing what is real

Runaway

Graffiti decorations
Under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learned were never true

Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again )
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)



CHORUS: I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind


Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true


Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again )
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)



CHORUS: I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind


I'm gonna runaway and never say goodBYE
(Gonna runaway, gonna runaway/Gonna runaway, gonna runaway)
I'm gonna runaway and never wonder WHY
(Gonna runaway, gonna runaway/Gonna runaway, gonna runaway)
I'm gonna runaway and open up my MIND
(Gonna runaway, gonna runaway)



REPEAT 3x:
MIND
(Gonna runaway, gonna runaway)



CHORUS: I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind



REPEAT 4x:
I wanna runaway
And open up my mind

By Myself

What do I do to ignore them behind me
Do I follow my instincts blindly
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening
Do I sit here and try to stand it
Or do I try to catch them red - handed
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness
Because I can�t hold on when I�m stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I�m lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again

By myself
(MYSELF)
I ask why
(But in my mind I find)
I find I can�t rely on myself
(MYSELF)
I ask why
(But in my mind I find)
I find I can�t rely on myself


CHORUS: I can�t hold on
(To what I want when I�m stretched so thin )
It�s all too much to take in
I can�t hold on
(To anything watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure sinking in


If I
Turn my back I�m defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they�ll
Take from me �till everything is gone
If I let them go I�ll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I�ll be outrun
If I�m killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I�ll be buried in the silence of the answer

By myself
(MYSELF)
I ask why
(But in my mind I find)
I find I can�t rely on myself
(MYSELF)
I ask why
(But in my mind I find)
I find I can�t rely on myself


CHORUS: I can�t hold on
(To what I want when I�m stretched so thin )
It�s all too much to take in
I can�t hold on
(To anything watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure sinking in


How do you think / I�ve lost so much
I�m so afraid / I�m out of touch
How do you expect / I will know what to do
When all I know / Is what you tell me to



REPEAT 2x: Don�t you
(KNOW)
I can�t tell you how to make it
(GO)
No matter what I do, how hard I
(TRY)
I can�t seem to convince myself
(WHY)
I�m stuck on the outside


CHORUS REPEAT 2x: I can�t hold on
(To what I want when I�m stretched so thin )
It�s all too much to take in
I can�t hold on
(To anything watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure sinking in

In The End

(It starts with one)
One thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
(All I know)
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
(It's so unreal)
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
I wasted it all just to
(Watch you go)
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard


CHORUS: I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter


One thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme, to remind myself how
(I tried so hard)
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so
(Got so far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
(In the end)
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard



CHORUS: I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter



REPEAT 2x: I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know



CHORUS: I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

A Place For My Head

I watch how the moon sits in the sky
On a dark night shining with the light from the sun
And the sun doesn't give light to the moon
Assuming the moon's gonna owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me

I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest



CHORUS: I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you, and
Step on people like you do and
Runaway the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous, but you should've known
That you'd wear out your welcome and
Now you see how quiet it is, all alone



REPEAT 2x:
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest



CHORUS: I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head


REPEAT 8x:
You try to take the best of me
Go away



CHORUS: I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head


REPEAT 2x:
I am so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

Forgotten

CHORUS REPEAT 2x:
From the top to the bottom
(Bottom to top I stop)
At the core I've forgotten
(In the middle of my thoughts)
Taken far from my safety
(The picture's there)
The memory won't escape me
(But why should I care)


There's a place so dark you can't see the end
Skies cock back and shock that which can't defend
The rain then sends dripping, acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes shut looking thought the rust and rotten dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend and
The eyes ease open and its dark again



CHORUS: From the top to the bottom
(Bottom to top I stop)
At the core I've forgotten
(In the middle of my thoughts)
Taken far from my safety
(The picture's there)
The memory won't escape me
(But why should I care)


In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up


Moving all around
Screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
The wheels go round and the sunset creeps behind
Street lamps, chain-link, and concrete
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn
Floats on down the street till the wind is gone
The memory now is like the picture was then
When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again


CHORUS REPEAT 2x: From the top to the bottom
(Bottom to top I stop)
At the core I've forgotten
(In the middle of my thoughts)
Taken far from my safety
(The picture's there)
The memory won't escape me
(But why should I care)


In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up



REPEAT 7x:
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
Telling you that
I see it right through you



REPEAT 2x:
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

Pushing Me Away
I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you


(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing



CHORUS REPEAT 2x: Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

I've tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you


(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing



CHORUS REPEAT 2x: Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

(We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds)
The sacrifice is never knowing



CHORUS REPEAT 2x: Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

Pushes me away

Carousel

She can�t hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguise behind the lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight, and staring at her inside
All her friends know why she can�t sleep at night
All her family asking if she�s all right
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well all she�s gotta do is stop kidding herself


REPEAT 3x:
She can only fool herself for so long

I�m too weak to face me
(She can only fool herself)



CHORUS REPEAT 2x: I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me


When it comes to how to live his life
He can�t be told
Says he�s got it all under control
Thinks he knows it�s not a problem he�s stuck with
But in reality, it�d be a problem to just quit
An addict and he can�t hold the reigns
The pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
Tries to slow down the problem he�s got
But can�t get off the carousel
Until he makes it stop



REPEAT 3x:
He can only fool herself for so long

I�m too weak to face me
(He can only fool herself)



CHORUS REPEAT 2x: I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me



REPEAT 2x:
Fly with me under the wings I gave you
Try to be closer to me and I'll save you



CHORUS REPEAT 2x: I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me



CHORUS REPEAT 2x: (Fly with me under the wings I gave you)
I never know just why you run
(Try to be closer to me and I'll save you)

Technique

You must exercise the proper technique


Back To Top
Step Up

Yo
Watch as the room rocks
Men only moon walk
Mixed media slang
Banging in your boom box verbal violence
Lyrical stylist
In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
You can�t tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rapping to a beat doesn�t make you an emcee
With your lack of skill and facility
You�re killing me
And a DJ in the group just for credibility
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
You�re not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
And rapping over rock doesn�t make you a pioneer
Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years
But now they�re getting randomly mixed and matched up
All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck
So how does it stack up - None of it�s real
You want to be an emcee you�ve got to study the skill


CHORUS: Who can rock a rhyme like this
Bring it to you every time like this
Who can rock a rhyme like this
Step, step up, step, step up


So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
But mentally you don�t have the hip hop energy
With a tendency to make up stories
Sounding like the only hip hop you�ve heard is top 40 (top 40)
And your record company is completely missing it
And all the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate
So in a battle you can't hack it
React with whack shit
And get smacked with verbal back flips
Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts
It's taken decades for mcees to establish this
You�re new to hip hop and welcome if your serious
But not on the mic
Leave that to the experienced



DIALOG:
Using waves of sound the true master
Paralyzes his opponent, leaving him vulnerable to attack



CHORUS REPEAT 2x: Who can rock a rhyme like this
Bring it to you every time like this
Who can rock a rhyme like this
Step, step up, step, step up



DIALOG:
After years of pain staking research by the world's
Leading sound scientists, we here at the sound
Institute have invented a reliable audio weapons system.
Actual movement of musical sound in space used to
Carefully attack and neutralize the cellular structure of
The human body, so the question must be asked.



CHORUS REPEAT 2x: Who can rock a rhyme like this
Bring it to you every time like this
Who can rock a rhyme like this
Step, step up, step, step up


Mixed media.. step up to the microphone.. and you do it like this...

And One
Where should I start
Disjointed heart
I�ve got no commitment
To my own flesh and blood


Left all alone
Far from my home
No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart, I


CHORUS: Keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies


Cannot express
To the point I�ve regressed
Anger�s a gift, then I guess I�ve been blessed, I


CHORUS: Keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies


It�s too late to love me now
You helped me to show me
It�s too late to love me now
You don�t even know me



REPEAT 2x:
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace

Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me)
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace



CHORUS: Keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies


Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me)
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too)


REPEAT 2x: Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release



REPEAT 4x: Keep my distance

Spit drips from the jaw of the witless witness
Cryptic colloquialism shifts your midrift
Dark all I do embark the shadows
Involved with my thought catalog, analogue, rap catalog
Keep my distance, and fear resistance, hurt by persistance
The twisted list of tangled lies
Strangles my hope to waste and numbs the taste
And I'm forced to face these hate crimes
Against the state of being

Feeling the weight- less -ness pressed between the ceiling
Reeling around room
Riding a bubble of sound proof
It's the frequency making you
S-Shake with every boom
Involuntary muscle contraction
Ignoring and drinking musical gas field euphoria
The sound pounds to make the dead flush
To have you a head rush with red thoughts and said stuff

High Voltage

DIALOG: Just do something to tell you who I am, ya know?


CHORUS REPEAT 4x: It�s high voltage you can�t shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out


I�ve been digging into crates ever since I was livin in space
Before the ratrace, before monkeys had human traits
Mastered numerology and bigbang theology
Preformed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
And chincheckin kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I'll twist mic cords through double helixes and show them what I�m made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of the emcees that hate us
So try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity let icons be bygones
I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this
I�ve tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit with or without an accomplice
(Mixed media)
The stamp of approval is on this


CHORUS REPEAT 2x: It�s high voltage you can�t shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out


(Akira) put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Sprayin bright day over what you might say
Blood type Krylon
Technicolor type A
On highways ride with road rage I'm pages of wind
And cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Overall the same things sing songs karaoke copy madness
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the tracks stand at attention (Attention)
Meant to put you away with the pencil
Pistol, official, 16 line rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out of your flaws
Spin, blah blah blah blah
You can say you saw



CHORUS REPEAT 8x: It�s high voltage you can�t shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out

Part Of Me
Part of me won�t go away
Everyday reminded how much I hate it
Weighted against the consequences
Can�t live without it so it�s senseless
Wanna cut it out of my soul
And just live with a gaping hole
Take control of my life
And wash out all the burnt taste
I made the problems in the first place
Hang my head low �cause it�s part of me
Ya hardly see right next to the heart of me
Heard of me the routine scar
New cuts cover where the old ones are
And now I�m sick of this
I can�t stand the sandpaper thoughts that grade on my sanity
I rather not even be then the man that�s staring in the mirror through me



REPEAT 4x: Cut myself free, willingly
Stop just what�s killing me



CHORUS: I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me


(Freedom can be frightening if you�ve never felt it)
Once it�s been dealt with you feel like you�ve been touched by something angelic
And then melted down into a pool of peace
Cease to be the animal you used to be
Remove the broken parts you know were wrong
And feel the calm when the problem�s all gone
And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can�t let be
Memories of the last fight to free yourself
Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well
And now you know you can choose to lose the part in your heart
Where your insides bruise
You can live if you�re willing to
Put a stop to just what�s killing you


REPEAT 4x: Cut myself free, willingly
Stop just what�s killing me



CHORUS:
I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me


Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams life away silently
Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams life away silently
This part of me won�t go away, part of me won�t go away
(Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams life away silently)
This part of me won't go away, part of me won't go away
(Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams life away silently)


Everywhere I look around I see how everything aught to be
Every time I see myself there�s always something wrong with me



CHORUS REPEAT 2x:
I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me



REPEAT 2x:
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me

DIALOG:
I hate you so much right now


CHORUS:
Crawling in my skin
These wounds/They will not heal

Confusing what is real


There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface (Beneath the surface)
Consuming (Consuming) /Confusing (Confusing)
This lack of self control I found so overwhelming (So overwhelming)
Controlling (Controlling) / I can't seem

These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is powerful
Confusing what is real


Discomfort,endlessly has laid itself upon me (Itself upon me)
Distracting (Distracting) / Reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection (My own reflection)
It's haunting (It's haunting) /How I can't seem


To find the strength within
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence and I�m convinced that there�s just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

To erase your hate and take this from the fakeness

Esaul

Riding with the head full of bodies of red
And what I said still stuck in my head
But mis-led thinking the things I do
Would make you never wanna come back
But an on-front attack
So you could never run from that
Being trapped in this beau
Some that I never wanted to do
But through it all you've got to see
That where I want to be
Is over the pen again
Letting it out of me
In the center of the day
In a dream
Seeing all my thoughts
Getting lost in between
Realizing one
Not the way that it seems
And the killing and the killer with a head full of screams



CHORUS: I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(Start seeing its not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

We're gonna be crushed
When it all falls apart
Knowing no matter how low
Hoping that you won't know
The strain it puts to me, seeing what you've done
And consequently I've run away, just hidden again
Within the boundaries of an anguish
Don't want me to say this
But you're dragging me down
Lost in the chaos
Being tossed around


REPEAT 2x:
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine



CHORUS: I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(Start seeing its not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head


REPEAT 8x: You
Try to take the best of me
Go away


CHORUS: I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(Start seeing its not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Shut.......Up.........Why


REPEAT 2x:
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine

Esaul DVD Version

Riding with the head the thoughts of men
When I said that something that I have had
Don�t wanna be bad I don�t want to be read
Meant to be bad and when it all comes back
It�s all intact but I know I never wanna come back
No prize for the size �cos there is no memorizing
And its all for the bossing
Don�t look about or around the power of my mind
Its because I can rap with the pale one time


Centre of a day I�m a miss
You see my eyes get lost under this
You need some advise getting lost under the size of this
Cos I�m a fool and I click then I�m a miss



CHORUS: I wanna live in another place
But no one can say that I live for them
(You�ll see its not meant to be from me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

I want to find the weapon of time that is stronger than a nuclear bomb
I'll see you try do a half pipe
People can�t get that right
Can�t get it right for me
It would still be if it weren�t for me
Weigh that
First you get rid of my friends
You can see me in chat being laid back
Don't want me to say that
But you're dragging me down
Lost in the chaos
Being tossed around



REPEAT 2x:
When I pick on my self
Right check left switch
Watch me when I do my hat trick
Heck this u better do it on time
Add it to the place of a fine line


CHORUS: I wanna live in another place
But no one can say that I live for them
(You�ll see its not meant to be from me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head


REPEAT 8x: Soon
The Aztec moon will heat my room
Heal my wounds


CHORUS: I wanna live in another place
But no one can say that I live for them
(You�ll see its not meant to be from me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

No.......More.........Burn


REPEAT 2x:
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine

High Voltage Remix

DIALOG: You know what I mean
Try to put a label on a life
Put a label on a lifestyle
(Sometimes)
You know, put a label on how you wake up every morning and go to bed at night
(Alright Ray)


I�ve been digging into crates ever since I was livin in space
Before the ratrace, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology and big bang theology
Preformed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
Chin-checking kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic cords into double helixes and show them what I'm made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast a spell of instrumentalness on all of you emcees who hate us
So you can try on / leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity let icons be bygones
I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this
I�ve tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit, with or without an accomplice and
Run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this



CHORUS: High voltage
The unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin' you up and taking you down
High voltage
Comin' at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide


(Akira)
I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
And never satisfy my rhyme jones
Sprayin bright day over what you might say
My blood type's Krylon
Technicolor type A
On highways, write with road rage
Pages of wind in cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound / Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings / Over all the same thing
Sing-song karaoke copy bullshit
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stand at attention
Meant to put you away / With a pencil pistol official
Sixteen-line / The rhyme missile
While you risk your all / I pick out all your flaws
Spittin' raw blah blah blah you can say you saw



CHORUS REPEAT 2x: High voltage
The unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin' you up and taking you down
High voltage
Comin' at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide



DIALOG: I like to rock and rap, you know what I mean?
People are acting like, you know, "wow that�s a new invention"
That shit thing, you know
We're constantly evolving
It is constantly changing
(Sometimes)
There's a world of change
Everybody's always trying to put labels on it, there ain't no label for this shit
They always gotta try to put a label on it
Try to create something so they can water it down



REPEAT 2x: Sometimes I feel like a prophet/ Misunderstood
Under the gun like a new disease



CHORUS REPEAT 3x: High voltage
The unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin' you up and taking you down
High voltage
Comin' at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide



DIALOG: You know what I mean? You can't put a label on a lifestyle.

In The End Demo

(It starts with one)
One and multiplies till you can taste the sun
And burnt by the sky you try to take it from
But if it falls there's no place to run
Crumbling down it's so unreal
(It's so unreal)
They're dealing you in to determine your end
And sending you back again to the places you've been
And bending your will till it breaks you within
And still they fill they're eyes
(Fill they're eyes)
With the twilight through the skylight
And the highlight's on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness
As I write this on a pad with the way I feel
(The way I feel)
Hear screaming in my dreaming
As it's seeming that you played your part
Like your heartless take apart this in the darkness
But I know that I've tried so hard


CHORUS: I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter


I've looked down blind and once there is not what ought to be
Held back by the battles they fought for me
Calling me to be part of their property
And now I see that I get no chance
(Get no chance)
I get no break, fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes
And as the tightrope within slowly starts to thin
I can only hope that they close they're eyes
(Close they're eyes)
To the twilight through the skylight
And the highlight's on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness
As I write this on a pad to the way I feel
(The way I feel)
Hear screaming in my dreaming
As it's seeming that you played your part
Like your heartless take apart this in the darkness
But I know that I've tried so hard



CHORUS: I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter



REPEAT 3x: I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know



CHORUS: I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

It's Goin Down Promo

DIALOG:
I knew I was being threatened
Do you think it�s worth holding out?
I mean I�ve heard some pretty ugly things about those guys
Ugly stories


Watch them flee
Watch them flee
Rap up
Watch them flee
And you do it like this

It�s going down
The rhythm projects round my next sound
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now
Detect the mesh of many elements compressed down
The melting pot of a super futuresque style
The combination of a vocal caress
With lungs that gasp for breath
From emotional stress
With special effects
And a distorted collage
Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage


REPEAT 2x: It�s going down
A logical progression on the timeline
The separation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey now
It�s going down



CHORUS: Put it up
And it goes like this
And you do it like this
It�s going down
Put it up
And it goes like this
And you do it like this

Its going down
Once again it is
Composed sentences all together venomous
The four elements of natural force
Projected daily through the sound of the source
Everybody on board as we blend
The sword with the pen
The mightiest of the weapons
Swinging right from the chin
The elevate mental states
Long gone with the wind
To defend men for shoddy imitation pretends


It�s going down
Style assimilation readily
Treking through the weaponry
Of a pure pedigree
Cleverly seeing through whatever is ahead of me
Whatever the weather be
We advancing steadily
It�s going down sub-terrestrial high
A rhyme regiment is calling the shots
Execution of collaborative plots
Ready to bring the separation of style to a stop

It�s going down
A logical progression on a the timeline
The separation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey now
It�s going down



CHORUS: Put it up
And it goes like this
And you do it like this
It�s going down
Put it up
And it goes like this
And you do it like this

It�s going down
X-men bout to blast off world wide
Yo it�s request only
X-men bout to blast off world wide
It�s built from scratch
Album in stores soon
Bout to blast off world wide
And you do it like this



CHORUS: It�s going down
Put it up
And you do it like this
And it goes like this
It�s going down
Put it up
And you do it like this

SuperXero

What do I do to ignore what's behind me
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly
Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening
Do I let it go and try to stand it
Or do I try to catch them red-handed
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust none and live in loneliness
Because sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again

By myself
(MYSELF)
I ask why
(But in my mind I find)
I find I can�t rely on myself
(MYSELF)
I ask why
(But in my mind I find)
I find I can�t rely on myself


CHORUS: I can�t hold on
(To what I want when I�m stretched so thin )
It�s all too much to take in
I can�t hold on
(To anything watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure sinking in


If I
Turn my back I'm defenseless
And to give in to fate seems senseless
If I, hide my pride and let it all go on then they'll
Take from me till everything is gone
If I, let them go I'll be outdone
But if I, try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

By myself
(MYSELF)
I ask why
(But in my mind I find)
I find I can�t rely on myself
(MYSELF)
I ask why
(But in my mind I find)
I find I can�t rely on myself


CHORUS: I can�t hold on
(To what I want when I�m stretched so thin )
It�s all too much to take in
I can�t hold on
(To anything watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure sinking in


How do you think / I�ve lost so much
I�m so afraid / I�m out of touch
How do you expect / I will know what to do
When all I know / Is what you tell me to



REPEAT 2x: Don�t you
(KNOW)
I can�t tell you how to make it
(GO)
No matter what I do, how hard I
(TRY)
I can�t seem to convince myself
(WHY)
I�m stuck on the outside


CHORUS REPEAT 2x: I can�t hold on

You fell away
What more can I say

I won't let it out

Your screaming face
Feeling the sickness inside
To a happy state

Your blood in mine

Must you tempt me

Keep on trying

The Morning After

Caught up against the wall again
Time to chill in the bar again
Never seize to amaze the night
So I just sleep sleep sleep please don�t
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after

Got confused by the thought again
Lick my wounds like a dog again
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel
That I see I see please let it be but don�t
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after


CHORUS: I�m so tired there has got to be an end
To the pain I feel when I�m awake
And alive alive alive
Alive and I�m dreamin



Caught up against the wall again
Time to chill in the bar again
Never seize to amaze the night
So I just sleep sleep sleep please don�t
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after



CHORUS: I�m so tired there has got to be an end
To the pain I feel when I�m awake
And alive alive alive
Alive and I�m dreamin
