I believe, that what I am, is just at bay to be perceived
No more past to relive, just a day where I’m relieved
When I stand up to those voices that say they don’t deceive
While their tiny little flashlights signaled only broken dreams
Each voice, one side, different tones, pathetic views
Constantly yelling over each other yet arguing separate feuds
Both demanding my compliance with no gratitude when credits due
Let it swoon, accept the bruise, lose the leftover hues, shed the moods
Many moons have come where I felt I dealt with the good
What I didn’t know, he wore a mask to disguise the skeleton that should
Have been painted black, it then would match, it watched me as I stood back
Unknowingly I looked passed all the questions that I could ask
Figures entered in and out, dissolving the revolving door
Never resolving more than I needed, proceeded with recalling wars
Hauling stored data from a cloud that I once thought I walked upon
Solely triggering the clock to start me back to when I stopped the bomb
Guess I gotta figure out who the culprit was back then
That fucking minion on the pulpit, I must know, who was that friend
Gather the scattered debris and solve it, I must bring about that end
To the smiling revolver, slit their throats and drag them
Out into the public, for a maiming all will witness
Claiming null to privileged, I blame that law is frivolous
Overcome the challenges, I say it’s my job, it’s business
I live to battle its flaws with speech and leave em odd with interests

When I climb to the ledge and I'm about to jump
Will you talk me down or did you help me up?

I’m looking up, somebody reached and grabbed me and stood me up
No one’s aware what I am cooking up, yea, the kitchen is hot now
No one is prepared for the jot down, are you scared that I’m hittin the spot now
I’m here, I’m the shit on the pot now, feel the chill in the air when I drop down
This is how I’m really feelin, above you all, watchin you kneelin
It’s the real me I’m revealin, linin you up for the killin
I found me just staggerin or bound and gagged and I’m
Fed up with negative messages, I can’t express what is happenin
Forward and back with the “this” and the “that” and my
Flight has arrived so I’m done with that traveler
I’ve landed, I’m grounded, I’ve planted my fuckin roots
I’ve gone up the chutes you stuffed me down but I’m loose
Shook off the extra skin and then I cut the noose
I used to care to obey then realized what’s the use?
Moveable parts and reusable heart in a damaged package
Pursuable art that can’t be average due to its manufractured
Program and handled with no care but I’m wired, yes
If I don’t blow apart right now it will be one of my all-time regrets

When I climb to the ledge and I'm about to jump
Will you talk me down or did you help me up?

I haven’t pondered enough about it, not even the slightest fraction
On how I wander up around it and how I display this type of passion
Where’s my market, I haven’t found it, pretty sure I might buy its casket
Unless it appears in the next few minutes I’m givin up the chase and I’m flyin passed it
Nope, I’m definitely not, my balls dropped and the engine was hot
My belly was churning, intestinal knot, I needed that yearning, then enter the plot
Was goin to Cali to get me a shot, instead I kept Pittsburgh, it lent me a cot
Years spent sleepin, drinkin the weekends, not teachin myself to be setting it off
Oh, were my fireworks inside lacking location of fuse
No, when I found one to ignite, it’s a dud and I’ve been payin my dues
Whoa, maybe this music fucked me up cause I keep stayin confused
Oh, I know what I’ll do, rebirth, reinvention, now I’m makin the moves
I’m a brand new man, with a brand new set of survival skills
They’re not coming to me, I’m goin to them, I need to see my rivals killed
Move through the shade, to remove their tongues, all in silence, still
Never admit to authorities, it was all in fun, just to find a thrill

When I climb to the ledge and I'm about to jump
Will you talk me down or did you help me up?
