Hook
I've been falling deeper into the clutches of Nothingness
& I have tried to reach out but lately it's been too comfortable
Cause I don't have to deal with human beings and I'm loving it
Out here up in Nothingness, cause out here I do not exist
I've been falling deeper into the clutches of Nothingness
& I have tried to reach out but lately it's been too comfortable
Cause I don't have to deal with human beings and I'm loving it
Out here up in Nothingness, cause out here I do not exist
Verse
You ever lost your way?
To the point that there is nothing to say
There are billions of words, but no combination
To explain exactly the way that you feel
At first you just deal with it
Try again next time
I might find the right formulation in my next rhyme
So, I let the pen fire as my pastime
Then slowly but surely it starts to sink in
That the language of thought is foreign
To the way that we speak, the way that we act
So, then we seek other ways to express ourselves
In the hope anything comes close
To the tales we're trying to tell
Cause a man unheard is a man
Who cries and a man who yells
The defense mechanism wants to
Prevent all pain so the lies excel
You're hurting inside, like a
Burning fire & denying the smell
You say that you're fine, to the people around you
While you're fighting the spell
Now you're making them nervous to speak on their burdens
So, they might as well
Return the favor, ‘cause they don't want to be
Inferior & then feel like they're replaceable
Cause we feel like our identity is meant to be
The key to show the world there's just one of us
When it's lost, we go up in dust
When it's lost, we lose all our trust
When it's lost, we just lose our cause
When it's lost, we're lost
& it feels impossible
To start where we started before
And that thought right there, is part of the problem because
Why would you start at a point that was destined to fall?
We must learn, from our mistakes
Make the right wrongs & the wrongs right as we pave the way
(pave the way)
& in the meantime, I'm planning my great escape
