Chosen One

V1.
You probably didn't read between the lines and realize that evil lies
Between the need to love and the desire to be admired
A product of the dusty, rusty, bloodied up environment
Ignore the ugly symptoms take a Tylenol and die a little
Tyrant through a cycle of asylums to deny the vision
Silence is a sign that it is time to pick a side of sinning high
Or sinking low, I'm feeling tired and alone
And uninspired, unadmired, I just wanted to be loved
And it's cold here, where frozen wind cross the tundra
Black clouds hover, back down, son or get suckered
Black crow down in gruesome fashions and mass numbers
Watch a thousand charred mannequins enter a mass slumber
Now,
Welcome to my house, be my friend be my friend
Never was a dull moment in my head in my head
See the guilt in my actions feel the shame in my core
Being sorry is a gift acting sorry is a chore
Chorus:
I. Ain't the Chosen One broken up, soakin' up
Chokin' on the smoke evaporating in my open lungs
Soul will juggle hope for fun and pray he doesn't drop it
Noddin' off anonymously in my closet X2
V2.
Godforsaken feeling barely conscious, tryna concentrate
Get off the soapbox, the high horse, the cross and my case
Pray the wind is always at my back, the sun always upon my face
And if the pain outweighs the love then I'll decide to leave or stay
Take a leap of faith into a murky rocky ocean
I'm polluted by the mercury and nuclear explosions
I possess a supersonic speed to run away in moments of weakness
I'm less a superhero than I am facetious, though
Take the needle nose and break it off into the gears
Dissect the machine and lie breathless for years
The acceptance is delusion the deception's in the mirror
Lifeless, starin' at the blueprints waiting for it to appear
Disappearin' in the shadow realm and peering at it backwards
Watch the pyramids collapse into the cracks of blackness
Act like I oppose, so I suppose I might expose the casket
And let it melt into the ground pretending like it never happened

V1.
Connect the lines between the neurotransmitter pathways
And bridge the gap between catastrophe and meet me halfway
I wasn't laughing out of spite, in fact I'd rather not erase
The soul connection that I formed when I was graspin' on the page
And now I'm gaspin' 'cus the pain is everlastin' in my brain
I wouldn't salvage the remains if I didn't have to change
And now my words are leaving such a fickle bitter aftertaste
Free the birds from the capture cage and let 'em flap away
Don't exacerbate the issue and extend the masquerade
Because it's better to be manically depressed than have to wait
Half the weight lifted, raised quick from the basement
Where the chains sit waiting for my body everyday
I rise again,
Into the sky of sedatives
Parasitic, pair of sickness derelict is on the mend
Serendipity, descent into a safer place to rest
The king is falling off his thrown the queen is dying in her bed
Chorus:
Church bells ring now it's time for the mass
Sit down everybody put your Money in the Basket
Church bells ring now it's time for the rapture
Sit down everybody put your Money in the Basket X2
V2.
I
Find a meaning and it's seemingly demeaning
Hyper-secretive the sequence had to see it to believe it
Colder seasons make the reaper wanna play without a reason
Hope the same fulfilling feeling never turns on my cerebral
Hyper-sensitive to visions of peripheral demise
And hyper-vigilant to sickness of perceptual surprise
It's a perpetuated cycle degradation of the mind
Deprivated senses with a decorated state of pride
I have come to the consensus that forever isn't long enough
I'm waiting on the sun to cease radiating all of us
Let the dust settle on my sacred text
Pick it up when it rains set it down when it ends
This town full of strangers and potential amends
Drifting further from creator with my secular friends
I rip the verses from the pages while I pick and choose which rules to follow
Can't bring myself to the savior
Chrous: X4

There's a fine line in the sand to be drawn
Between a medicated fighter and a medicated pawn
Between eviscerating light and the establishment of god
It's a facade out of necessity it's not a separate entity
A solemn set of silence steady drowning out the song
Ultraviolet, my awakening a shade of what is wrong
And in the wake of the destruction rose an angel of my thoughts
I couldn't love her if I tried because the lust is just enough
To justify the sucker punch onto the face of what is holy
Sweeping cuts under the rug and wipin' dust off the rollies
Kick start the four door and grip hard the clutch
Grind the gears of my mind, drivin' fast where the bones lay
Cast in the soul cave, vanish in the darkness
Wrap me in comfort blanket, throw to the shark pit
Banished and forgotten on my sanity synopsis
In a parallel dimension, where it hurts to be accomplished and free
Set a tone play it in a minor key
Leave me all alone within the garden of the silent beast
Pixilate my body while I fixate on the drying sea
And sink into the medicine I take to feel at peace
Now release
The bloody hands hanging over me
While I cease and desist by request of my dreams
Send a scream to the whisper calling me into the breeze
Instead of freezing in the winter growing colder by the week
No soldier
Toe to toe with broken home hypnosis
Drowin' in the fountain holdin' both youth and emotion
When the water freezes over take a dive in the sulfer
Hope the burns will heal and scab before my living hell freezes over
A cautionary tale to toss into the wind
I watch is seize as it flutters to the earth to be picked up again
Recovering from runnin' from the bloody, battered shutter tick
It's nothing but the sun until you catch a glimpse of sufferin'
Overcast black clouds hover over love parade
Soak my clothes in waterfalls on Such a fucking Lovely Day
I'd love to stay in touch because I have a lot to say
But I wouldn't wanna burden you on Such a fucking Lovely Day
Suppress the razor in a second to the dirt
Set the pace of the savior and I'll show you what it's worth
Second chances are a joke, I don't expect no one to change
But I wouldn't wanna tell you that on Such a fucking Lovely Day
So I keep it to myself on the move
And if you can see through me you bit off more than you can chew
Lost the pursuit of truth, caught up in a useless clue
Thought is never fluid nothing ever moves through
Nothing better than the build up, ready for the jump
Love embedded in the roots, pour the water out the cup
Put your soul into your flowers, make a livin' off 'em, too
But know that most of 'em'll die because they're sitting in a living room
Yo
We feel neglected when we run out acceptance
And the well of evanescence runs dry in the desert
In a cell to serve a sentence in a room of written letters
Never mail 'em out of fear that they will be returned to sender
I
Find a center just to shake into the breakdown
Ride a wave of whiskey to an island full of ghost towns
Caught between epiphanies and visions of the profound
Predicted by the symphonies depicted by a lone smile
A slow frown creepin' up steady risin'
Like the sun to the east over moonlit horizons
I sink into the sea of ambiguity provided I
Don't wake up on the wrong side of my eyelids
Diving bliss, but a dream for the lifeless
I'd rather not acknowledge what it's like to feel enlightened
I'd rather not acknowledge what it's like to feel okay
But I wouldn't wanna tell you that on Such a fucking Lovely Day
So I let the rain hit, on my brain, skip
Never went to rehab, I took five vacations
Gave a look on the outs to my friends and my fam
Never came out the house 'til they sent my back again
You wouldn't
Really wanna what's going on with Jake
And anyways I wouldn't tell you, 'cus I'm feeling off today
Go enjoy this mother fucking Lovely Day
Leave me to ugly habits, I will not be mad if you walk away
And if you choose to stay, know I'm always loyal
Take a bullet for the ones who never gave up on me
Shouts to Brett, Trevor, Baby Jake, Shayna, CMJ,
Erik, Ape and most of all my overseer, Desirae
It's like that
Like this, wear a smile on my fat lip
Slip through the cracks of an open casket
Cascade to the river, where they spread my ashes
And rise agin to the sweat-drenched sheet of my mattress

V1
Ayo back when I was snortin' Percocet and drinkin' fifths of whiskey
I was looking for an answer wondering if kids would miss me
And if not then alienate me, alien race me
And deny me my existence, blast me back to where I came from
Back to black backpacks of paint cans and brush strokes
Back to train tracks to paint tags between blunt smoke
Back to Chan where I would cop Suboxone at the Kwik Trip
'Cus I needed to feel free baby, please baby, listen
Some, never escape the sensation tempation
You are damned if you do, damned if you do not cave in
There's so much beauty in the thought of humanizing urges
I'll personify the truth while you appropriate my purpose
I'm genetically imperfect, you're a sedentary serpent
In a cemetery inadvertently making me nervous
And if one thing is for certain, it's that you're working my circuits
You could sing in flat notes I'd still tell you that it's perfect baby
Chorus: X2
Love, hate, love, hate, love, hate, love
Love waits, love stays, we love to hate but hate to love
We love to stair at other's faces 'cus we hate what we've become
We hate to break but love the hope that says the happiness will come
V2.
I guess I'm, not, really, feeling like myself at present
Life has a monopoly on death wishes and head trips
Second guess rip the flesh clean off the cleaver, thoughts
Of seeing deeper meaning intervening when I'm feelin' restless
Cardiac arrested call me crazy or corrected
Call me hazy, hateful, codependent, jaded frame of reference
Call me caught up in the depths of caution, costly call me desperate
Call me constantly when you're depressed but never when you're better
Keep sending scarlet letters seal 'em with your tongue
You penned ambiguous in cursive and etched out the "A" with blood
If that is heaven there's no hell on earth more desolate than love
I don't think numbness is progressive it's just something you become
And that's the truth, happiness and sad begins with you
So how can you be sure your misery isn't induced?
I, do not have the answers and I don't pretend I do
Because I'm privy to overcorrecting and steering into the noose
Chorus X2
V3
I guess I wasn't, really, feeling like myself the other day
I'd rather fade away into the sky of razor blades
Momma say "don't cry" mamma say "it's okay"
Namaste, nada change, not a trace, not a slave
To my godly thoughts anonymous and on my honor rolling stone
Only to gather pieces left from broken homes
Left, wing broken right wing soakin' up the oil spill
Test bring focus rest bring death, only hope to
Comatose and block the Novocain reactionary numbness
On my soulless brain I hibernate and wait for summer
Hide away my racing thoughts making it hard to say what's up
I st I st I st I stutter when I m-mention my momentum
When I attest to moments where I was hopeful and open
Walking Borderlines of personalities and parasitic hoaxes
Air is brittle cold and I'm alone and all I know is
That I noticed how I felt and documented in my notebook
Wrote love

Rumor has it that you want a panini...
If that's the case you better get a panini
There are lots of places that'll sell you a panini
My friend Grik makes a mean panini
You could say he's the panini genie
Get a panini from my boy Grik
V1.
I got mad at my sister so I went and ate some twinkies
All my friends say that I'm good rapping but I never listen
I got mad at my mom so I cried to my girlfriend
She says she likes the way my hair falls on my forehead
I got mad at the world so I went and got a facial
She told me that my pores were exfoliated greatly
I got mad at my father so I went and bought a fishing pole
And caught a bunch of perch right down at the fishing hole
This is so fun this is fun times ten
Making bonsai cuts on my sometimes friends
Got a chip on my shoulder ice pick won't dent
So I skip to my lou flick the Bic at my head
And flip the script like it's nothin' come from the back
With a mouth full of nails and a fist full of ass
If you got the hand lotion you can rub it on my....
Sexy fanny pack
Bridge:
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Girl look at that body
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Tuck my napkin in my shirt because I got it like that
Chorus: X4
Oh yeah, never liked the backstreet boys
But I like Wu-Tang big boy
Oooh, never like the backstreet boys
But I like Wu-Tang big boy
V2.
Oh. Yeah. Not sleepy not tired
Take a lot of meds 'cus I got a lotta virus
I don't make sense when I cry like a tyrant
Run around with my dog shittin' on hydrants
I never had a poop bag plagued by poop stains
Never liked trap music but I got two chains
Can't deal with the hi-hats that do this
(Unintelligible machine gun noise) So I let the track skip
It's like this and like that and like that and like this
Got a cute girlfriend with a cute-ass lisp
All my bros say I'm whipped 'cus I painted her toenails...
That was very early on in our relationship
I'm not ashamed of it I'm
(unintelligible mumbling)
Recording in my basement bitch
That's all I'm saying kid
Bridge:
Chorus: X2
Bullshit...
Yeah. At work they told me to achieve results
I said "save that for the panini vault"
Never go to Panera with a sneezing adult
Or you'll end up with a sneezy, cheesy salt

V1.
Give me a second, just a second, all I need is just a second
Out of my mind and element, just take a step out of my presence
Tryna breath deep's an effort, tryna keep keep invested
But I'm knee deep and these demons keep me from heaven
Let it breath, let it settle, let it decompress a little
It won't decompose it's metal, so I do suppose it's settled then
I'm a live action veteran with a despise for repetition
Toss the littler of demise into the ditches of existence
Paint a picture of the sky, make it a symbol of ambition
Paint a picture of the dirt and call it North Star Wisdom baby
Adjust your vision, I'm a walking juxtaposition
And a double negative like "I did not see nothin' mister"
Twister, sucking me in and then spitting me out
And people don't think I'm depressed until they hear my songs and figure it out
All of this dirty talk is leaving acne on my mouth
They loved me back in high school 'cus I gave 'em lots to gossip about
Yeah, I bet you're waiting for a chorus
That's what they call a pristine 16, adore it
I'm the nicotine buzz to the universe's morning coffee
Not a carbon copy but I shouldn't need to state the obvi
In fact it's quite the opposite I come correct equipped
With rhyme schemes that make your spine tingle like an exorcist
I make, huge egos disappear like paparazzi clicks
And I'm a cited study, you're an outdated hypothesis
I'm not an isolated incident, however I am isolated
In my icy cave and there's a difference
Between being sadistic and a cynical prick
And I guess I walk a line between the two and hope that never I will slip
Eyes rollin' back into my head of casper kicks around cadavers
On my manically laughin' like nothin' matters
Kicking back with a lobotomy apparatus to tap the madness
Sad, angry, lonely, numb never real happiness
Weird talking space:
Geez. That North Star Kid sure is depressed a lot of the time
Have you heard his song Such a Lovely Day?
Do you think he's serious about riding a wave of whiskey to an island full of ghost towns?
Definitely
Nevertheless unless it's less of death and more of holding heavy breathes
The moral of the story keeps me morbid and unimportant
It's less about the lesson learned and more about the severed heads
That nod off beat to the snare taps in the chorus
Geez
Welcome to the blank mind state showcase emporium
The sword swallowers are to your left, show your support to 'em
Them poor sons of bitches never really knew what hit 'em
Caught 'em slippin' 'fore they dove into they pockets for they riches
Now, quick hit the lick, swallow fifths of Jameson
You gotta dissipate and scatter 'fore they hit you with that discipline
As if it really rains where we're headed it's only sunny days ahead
Welcome to your six by eight, here's breakfast in bed
That's what happens when you acting reckless, act irreverent
Act offensive then attack and act like it's defensive
Act like animals, who act erratic, startled by the breeze
And if you master the technique you could end up like me
Weird talking space:
Oh my god!
Geez!
Weighing in at three hundred fifty thousand pounds
(Where's the pizza getter)
Wait a minute, How 'bout this
Weighing in at three hundred fifty five thousand bars
Fighting out of Long Lake, Minnesota
North Starrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Wisdom
Oh my god! Spare the whack emceeeeeeeeeeees
Jesus fucking chri-
If you're listening it's too late
