We Live We Die

You’ve seen that they’re weak.
You’ve seen that they’re flawed .
I’ve seen you asleep.
They still kill for a god
Ive seen you ignore all the Hate that they speak
like where is the love
i know that i only have faith in their greed
they thirsty for blood
so what is a life worth when stealing is light work and
they live in the gutters and steer without rudders so really why earth
why shouldn’t they die first
reject the experience
why protect the invariance
the longer we wait the more likely that they might infect the experiment
I say we go ahead an let em wipe em selves out
they been shitting in the pool i wanna bail out
tryna buy a little time when the sale out
i say we leave em on their island and we sail out
cuz they should be terrified nothing but parasites left on a corpse that’s decaying
stew in the pot or leave them to rot it’s morbid but maybe the course we should take is abstaining
won’t see me cry when it’s raining
so let’s let them struggle but stay in their bubble cuz really tho i find the fight entertaining
i know we started with the best intent
and creating a life is a blessed event but cut the tumor out or infection spreads
lost they don’t know what the message is
We live
We die

heh Fight then
Hell I know you're scared
and I know you don't believe in yourself
But if we don't stand up right here
Then none of it meant anything
It came overnight there was nothing you could have prepared for
like how would you kill those you care for
and once you have what is there to be scared for tho
I am not prey they can hunt down
Moving so long feeling run down
Gotta find somewhere safe by sundown
I don’t wanna be there when the horde come round
and I’m
Lost in the dead of night
Just Tryna stay alive
I say we have a chance
When i know it’s a lie
These corpses walk beside me
Feels like I’m dead inside
It cost me everything
I bet you barely tried
This can’t be the end I’m all outta options
I’m down to my last i been here before to be honest too often
Trust is a thing of the past now all i can count on is losses
Time just been moving too fast so I’m paying em back when this shot hits
I could write a book on how to kill a friend and i haven’t slept in days having trouble with my temper
hit em with a head shot hope you don’t remember
everything i love now lost in the embers
I will not surrender to my fear
But i can’t let down my guard they’re always near
This city tried to swallow me whole
And the dead are always calling me home
Never slowing down no rest for the wicked
Seem at this point i could swear I’m addicted
This ride go hell and I’m punching some tickets
I’m sorry you fell I’m not spreading the sickness
Lost in the dead of night
Just Tryna stay alive
I say we have a chance
When i know it’s a lie
These corpses walk beside me
Feels like I’m dead inside
It cost me everything
I bet you barely tried
Lost
(we're lost, we're lost, we're lost)
Lost
(we're lost, we're lost, we're lost)
Lost
(we're lost, we're lost, we're lost)
Lost
(we're lost)
No She was already dead
It didn't mean anything
So you're mad that you woke up one day
and life's a war?

Mouth all dry and shit
Don’t go looking for things
that you don’t wanna find might just end up on this island wash up with me on the tide
Take it all in stride Feel the pain i feel alive
I swear i tried but i needed my supply
Like here i stand
deep
head planted in sand.
Swear the pills get demanding
like bitch go grab me a sandwich
need a bandage
i took every one i could manage
and they just kept taking advantage
fell and i finally landed
on my face
locked in that dark place with no escape
accept my fate
lost without my grace
change my face till it erased
think i need my space
but i still long for your embrace
attitudes i chase
chemicals i taste
looking like some palm trees
rotting at the roots
isolate me
then you wanna talk about abuse
seen so many fall and still i thought myself immune
you like to accuse when you ain’t got no fucking proof
shaking like a leaf spitting blood again
Guess I’ll just get it out the mud again
Cut em off looking for some drugs again
Like he don’t love himself how she in love with him
guess that he plugged -ed in
i got a win and i rubbed it in
sitting alone at a pub again
lining it up till i can’t walk a line
people keep saying You outta your mind
shit lookin fine
Feeling divine
Each spiral is feelin like slowly reclining back to the bud again
sand on my toes snow in my nose inside the hole i created alone
just got too scared of becoming a drone
panicking family hitting the phone
i shoulda known not to go looking cuz i could get lost shouldn’t a pushed it and thought of the cost
proof in the pudding get fucking exhausting
just snacking on this can of worms

Playing Nice

[Damn Selene]
I’m about as nice as I wanna be when I am
And like nine out of nine times I don’t really give a damn
[Ardamus]
And if I do it, then I'm stupid I take my damns back
With a sarcastic tone and I planned that, and I....
[Lex Lingo]
Feel like i was waiting for the right time
Never looking at the bright side
Swear i coulda went a life time
Chasing like minds and high fives
It’s a life style Playing nice guy
So I’m happy I’m an asshole
[Damn Selene]
I got more friends than I need, a complete set, and patience depleted for rejects
I respect your feelings and boundaries set, but will I say fuck you nonetheless?
[Lex Lingo]
YES
[Damn Selene]
Best I can do is a Saitama JPG for your stressed 30 page address
[Lex Lingo]
I know you’re angry but I swear I couldn’t care any less
[Ardamus]
Minimal literal givin' fuck tho
Stickin' this pin to get in yo bubble
seeing my team, scheming to dream, you mad, and sad you're not in the huddle
[Lex Lingo]
YES
[Ardamus]
whatever man
Get better plans
You said it fam
Stop editin'
[Lex Lingo]
I know they hate but i ain’t got no one left to impress
Don’t stress me just cuz i got a attitude
I can see it’s Ben a while since you had the truth no platitudes bitch it doesn’t matter who
[Damn Selene]
Ain’t nobody mad at you
Just steering clear of the shit storms you paddle through
Learn to pick your battles, dude
[Ardamus]
Only go to war in the games with a fine
Autograph with my word so my name's on the line
[Lex Lingo]
All that good will dried up
and i ain’t even mad when I’m fired up
y’all acting up and I’m tired of it
i can be unpleasant like a dry rub
no barbecue shit sugar coatings what i hardly do
friendship and hugs is what Barney do
[Damn Selene]
Shit, fuck my thoughts if they don’t ring true.
You can be an asshole too
[Ardamus]
Ooh I feel that sentiment
Lost and found, I'm halfway innocent
Heard you gotta grudge and you wanna get rid of it?
Leave you out of work and you cant reap the benefit
[Lex Lingo]
No new friends y’all play Benedict
Keep my actions and my feelings separate
Everybody be a tough guy on the internet
[Damn Selene]
Bitter like a little upset ass kid again

I know sometimes it seemed like a lost cause
but it’s all worth it
don’t be so hard on yourself cuz you’re not perfect
and yeah it get dark but just don’t ever stop searching
cuz right when they drop curtains and the crowds gone and you lost 30
they can forget to respect you reflect and you’ll see they cannot hurt you they all dirty
you gotta stop blaming yourself for the friends that you lost
everything comes with a cost
and crying don’t mean that you’re soft
but this is the path and you chose to walk it
you paid the price for that bag in your pocket
them cigarettes still got you coughin
keep smoking them nails in your coffin
you punish yourself way too often
And you bein home wouldn’t change what those cops did
rest up Malik
i know when you heard that you lost it
confused and in tears like a lost kid
and seeing them pigs makes you nauseous
it’s deadly if you don’t move cautious
justice is based on who profit
so whatever it is it is not this
Turned 32 with a pistol in hand
thinking this might be the end
you was down in the darkness again
right at the height of your plans
I’m happy that you took the chance and gave me a life
you don’t understand
you gave me a life now when i can I’m spreading some light
I’m doing it right this time
New lease don’t waste it success so close you can taste it
two families one apartment yeah you went and got it out the basement
you was sick of struggling for the basics
finding your way in the bass hits
you got the drive and they fake it
you got a dream they can’t take it
Every engagement coulda went south
holes in your heart they been filling with doubt
they poison your thoughts with all of the venom that come out they mouth
they want the clout you want the cash
they sat on a couch when you did a dash
called you a dummy for chasing your passion and now they act sad you cut em all out
But It’s all gonna pay off
poppa got sick and you momma got laid off
i promise you the pills the only thing you gotta stay off
smoke up a pound taking the weight off
long as you ain’t take a day off
You gotta get rid of the ghosts that haunt you
and the feeling that nobody want you
it’s fake why would you respond to it
they playing a part and it’s on cue
but people will do what they want to that motivation beyond you
please refrain from acting out despite the pain they caused you
Showin a weak point could get you exploited easily
people be moving so greasy sheesh
I’m just resting peacefully
but hoes tore off my Jesus piece and now I’m hanging regally
whippin the city illegally
I’m fitna be free this time
