The pen and the pad became a keyboard and a screen
Wanna get more than you have then you need more than a dream
The person that you knew, just a pixelated theme
A choose your journey tale, never know where the trail is gonna lead
The king is gonna hail and you may never fit his scheme
Scared of what prevails, stare at a never finished scream
Your lungs will still exhale, it’s the inhale that’ll quit and feed
Your heart its jump start so it never skips a beat
You wake up one day to find that everything has changed
You placed it on external drives, can’t see that anything has saved
One day today is grey, just a dream, relive them days
Lemme see what I can paint for you before I’m on my way

Hey, hey, where’d you go?
Flee the scene when something’s wrong
You tried you’re best, you gave you’re all
Never give up on the artist that you’ve grown to know

I want you to gimme the combination to your safe
The greatest complication is right in front of your face
Congratulate yourself for makin it this late in the race
State your names, don’t matter, I’m here to take the place
As the outcast that will outlast passed skill, feelin me?
Want inside? Keep drilling me, fuckin killin me
Small step for man, getting tinier as I’m building me
Into my own army marching just for the thrill to see
How much further I’ll go
Keeping pushing on and on until I worsen the blow
More strange and deranged things keep hurtin my show
It’s a sacrificial wound, there’s more to learn and to know
Not just another mother fucker makin sounds
I’m in this as a lover, undercover sprayin rounds
Believe me that I'm trouble, even when layin down
Goddamn right that this is battle, saddle up and take your grounds
We see the wild styles of the rich and famous
How ‘bout the loud mouths of the gifted nameless
Never found out what’s in these bits of pages
Of pavement we keep hittin cause this shit is ageless
A script of how we're livin and its been contagious
There were moments we were spinning through fits and rages
We're doin it right if we're raisin fists of strangers
Every line I write is just another list of dangers
I was gonna come at this with storytelling
But I thought, I gotta hit it good with something more compelling
Revel around in your level, I’m down for selling
My soul whole, I’m bound by my tortured belly
And the creature that pits against this corporate dwelling
I tried to keep quiet but you always force the yelling
So here I am pulling on that shortest straw
Yet continuously proving that I’m more than raw
I stand against the giants with my own theories and science
See no need for compliance, simply feed its defiance
Silence, silence? You'll never get my silence
There's about to be a massacre, sound off all the sirens
I’m in to win it, a minute to get it, infinite critics are sniffin around
Listening in on the cynical gibberish slippin the shit in and fistin their mouths
Getting the littlest hint of the bitterness, flinchin with jitters then kissin it out
Fixin your ears with this sweet love and tenderness, stickin your ear drums with similar sounds
Finish it sick of this simple shit that you’ve allowed
Can't catch the facts unless I relax and slow it down
This is my breaking point it's taken me beyond annoyance
Safe to say I'm here in hopes that I just may destroy this

Hey, hey, where’d you go?
Flee the scene when something’s wrong
You tried you’re best, you gave you’re all
Never give up on the artist that you’ve grown to know

Started the pilots heart, it's departed to my wildest schemes
Maybe I'll learn of the artistic words of my childish dreams
Baby I heard this far distant version of my loudest screams
May be observed as narcissistic, that’s just how it seems
I used to give myself such high expectations
Now I can’t find the time to even bind with my patienc
Exercise the mind and really try to shape this
Fetch some Technicolor to spice the life up of this blankness
It’s for the story teller, it’s for the poet
Do it for the glory of showin me split open
I do it for the mourning and to show you how we’re broken
Do it for the four in the morning sleepless nights of hopin
That there’s peace more than there’s war, the love that we have woken
I do it to be immortal through the words that must be spoken
Though it’s not for the lord yet in my soul I know I’m chosen
I do it to release the stress of these pages that I wrote in
I do this cause I’m sure I’m one the best there’s ever been
I do it cause I won’t settle being told I’ll never win
I do this cause I know that I’m worth remembering
Forever in your thoughts after my final breath gives in
I do this for the comfort of where I’ve settled in
I do this for the angels that play in my devil’s den
I do it cause I’m certain I can never let it end
I do it so there’s no giving up and there’s no way I’m giving in

Hey, hey, where’d you go?
Flee the scene when something’s wrong
You tried you’re best, you gave you’re all
Never give up on the artist that you’ve grown to know
