Snatch the fool's tongue Cut it out of its house Teach him to be honest Before he opens his mouth Grab the king's crown Rip it from his scalp So he'll learn to be grateful Before he gets help Among the royalty, misguided loyalty Tainted bloodline and guilty swine Strings on every finger How can you watch your puppets dance? It's been an endless reign We've given you every chance When you look in the mirror What does your conscience look like? How does it feel to see the blood that's on your hands? The plague has left the streets it's knocking at your door The rats can smell your filth They're coming through the floor High time someone put you in your place The curtain will fall You'll stumble from your throne The archers are waiting

Walked your path for years and years Ignore my pleas, my cries, and tears But now I keep my faith where I keep my fears Behind my eyes and between my ears Command a blueprint that's outdated Teaching a language full of contradictions They say that "nothing in life is free" And that "the greatest parts don't cost a thing" So where does that leave me? I was born a dream I don't want to die a nightmare I'm lost in limbo Suspended on a string There's no escape for me You are my crooked wing You are always in the back of my mind But there's approval i've yet to find I'll discourse of my destiny till my jaws snap off Don't correlate your intentions with mine There's a reason i'm here Prudent and strong There's a reason i'm here Sorry, death I won't be long I just have some people to prove wrong Peril, peril Ascending from your ashes Careful, careful I'm rejecting the transplant

DMG 02:47
I am a child who clings to the sheets pulled over my head I've been afraid since the lights went out and I got into bed For years i've been chasing the life I deserve But things are looking grim Death is grasping at my limbs I've always wondered what it's like to fight a fight you can't win I've been struggling for 8 months now breathing smoke into these lungs Why is my heart still beating? Why am I still here? When dying alone is something I never feared

Cascade 03:23
I've moved on now But my debt still persists I still think of you And the weight still exists But you have the luxury: Not knowing what I know - If things had never changed I would never grow Your words were waves Take me away I used to hear those waters flow I used to watch them cascade Your words were winds They blow me away I used to feel the breeze on my cheeks Now my foundation quakes My confidence was shaken A lonely star shining upon nothing Not a world, not a sky Bled onto your clothing I'm here to eject the thought That I am what i'm not I'm not flawless, but i'm fearless Let me be your moon I'll bask in your ambience Keep me unexplored But close in terms of distance I tried my best to glow But now i've learned my lesson That you don't burn for me And I'm just iridescent We have nothing to hide so you fear us [Kaden Birdsong of Life Lessons] There's a labrynth in my head That's growing every day I'm a knot, I'm a mess I'm an ever-changing maze If I could pick the arrows from my head, I would And pull the thorns out of my heart for good

Shadowboxing 03:42
Turning around I see my enemies lined up to speak Each with an endless list Of what makes me weak But I can't keep running The future's calling Trapped on a timeline So I lean forward I can't keep shunning The future's calling Stuck in the sand If i don't fix this mess I'll be watching Always lurking For the right time to make my mark I'm here for something But nothing's working Maybe I need somewhere new to start I want to fix the world But I can't do it alone So I'll start with myself and see where it goes In all the chaos In all the comfort I've only found myself growing more stubborn In all the written In all the spoken They only pride themselves because I'm broken Turning away I see the stars align And it's never been so clear The beginning is near.
