Where should I start? Disjointed heart Ive got no commitment to my own flesh and blood Left all alone, far from my home No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart I keep it locked up, inside I cannot express to the point Ive regressed If angers a gift, then I guess Ive been blessed I keep it locked up, inside Keep my distance from your lies Its too late to love me, now You have never shown me Its too late to love me, now You dont even know me Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Keep it locked up, inside Keep my distance from your lies Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Keep my distance Keep my distance Keep my distance Keep my distance Spit drips from the jaw of the witless witness Cryptic colloquialisms shift your mid rift Dog paddle through a bog of shadows and smog With my thought catalog, analogue rap battle log Keep my distance and fear resistance Hurt by persistence, the twisted web of tangled lies Strangles my hope to waste and numbs the taste And Im forced to face these hate crimes Against the state of being Feeling the weightlessness press me to the ceiling Reeling around rooms, riding a bubble of sound Tuned to the frequency making your chest shake With every boom Involuntary muscle contraction Ignoring your necks breaking, musical gas fume euphoria The sound pounds to make the dead flush To hand you a head rush with read rhymes and said stuff

She cant hide, no matter how hard she tries Her secret disguise behind the lies And at night, she cries away her pride With eyes shut tight, staring at her inside All her friends know why she cant sleep at night All her family asking if shes alright All she wants to do is get rid of this hell Well, all shes gotta do is stop kidding herself She can only fool herself for so long She can only fool herself for so long She can only fool herself for so long She can only fool herself I never know just why you run So far away, far away from me I never know just why you run So far away, far away from me When it comes to how to live his life, he cant be told Says hes got it all under control Thinks he knows its not a problem hes stuck with But in reality, itd be a problem to just quit An addict and he cant hold the reigns The pain is worse cause his friends have it the same Tries to slow down the problem hes got But cant get off the carousel until he makes it stop He can only fool himself for so long He can only fool himself for so long He can only fool himself for so long He can only fool himself I never know just why you run So far away, far away from me I never know just why you run So far away, far away from me Fly with me, under the wings I gave you Try to be closer to me and Ill save you Fly with me, under the wings I gave you Try to be closer to me and Ill save you I never know just why you run So far away, far away from me I never know just why you run So far away, far away from me I never know just why you run So far away, far away from me I never know just why you run So far away, far away from me

I have a dream of a scene between the green hills Clouds pull away and the sunlights revealed People dont talk about keeping it real Its understood that they actually will And intoxicated and stimulated MCs Staring in the trees, paranoid, are gone in the breeze Watch them flee, hip-hop heads Take a walk with me and what youll see Is a land where the sand is made up of crushed up wax And the sky beyond you is krylon blue And everybody speaks in a dialect of rhyme And MCs have left materialism behind them Meanwhile, I just grip my mic And hope me and my team make it through alright Because say what you will and say what you might But dont ignore who its for at the end of the night Because this is dedicated to the kids Dedicated to wherever music lives Dedicated to those tired of the same ol same And dedicated to the people advancing the game Whats real is the kids who know that somethings wrong Whats real is the kids who think they dont belong Whats real is the kids who have nowhere to run Who are hiding in the shadows, waiting for the sun Ive seen a lot of , Ive talked to a bum Out on Sunset Strip, he asked me, How would you feel If everybody acted like you didnt exist? Youd lose your grip, probably eventually flip So let it be known, the only reason that we do this Is so you can pick it up and just bang your head to it While MCs fight to see who can be the commonest Be floating overhead like a space odyssey monolith Over seeing the game, over being part of the same old thing Its all gonna change in a hurricane of darkness and pain And acidic rain and promises that you wont do it again Meanwhile, I just grip my mic And hope me and my team make it through alright Because say what you will and say what you might But dont ignore who its for at the end of the night Because this is dedicated to the kids Dedicated to wherever music lives Dedicated to those tired of the same ol same And dedicated to the people advancing the game Whats real is the kids who know that somethings wrong Whats real is the kids who think they dont belong Whats real is the kids who have nowhere to run Who are hiding in the shadows, waiting for the sun Pulling me close, the shadow is warm inside This is where I feel at home, this is my place to hide Pulling me close, the shadow is warm inside This is where I feel at home, this is my place to hide This is dedicated to the kids Dedicated to wherever music lives Dedicated to those tired of the same ol same And dedicated to the people advancing the game Whats real is the kids who know that somethings wrong Whats real is the kids who think they dont belong Whats real is the kids who have nowhere to run Who are hiding in the shadows, waiting for the sun This is dedicated to the kids Dedicated to wherever music lives Dedicated to those tired of the same ol same And dedicated to the people advancing the game Whats real, everybody who doesnt feel safe Whats real, everybody who knows theyre out of place Whats real, anybody with nowhere to run Who hides in the shadows, waiting for the sun

Smoke another cigarette, it kills the pain Thats all thats left of me anymore Choke on all of my regrets feeling the strain In every breath stumble as I crawl Then I fall into you And I fade away I fall into you And I fade Like a crutch you carry me without restraint Back to a place where I am not alone Im a man whose tragedies have been replaced With memories tattooed upon my soul Then I fall into you And I fade away I fall into you And I fade You said time to tear down the walls You know not every things your fault Put it away our mistakes have brought us here today You say just look how far youve come Despite all the things youve done Youll always be the one to catch me When I fall into you And I fade away I fall into you And I fade Say goodbye to yesterday I made it through I made today Despite what I was told You were there to rescue me You shine your light so I could see Then I fall into you And I fade away I fall into you And I fade I fall into you And I fade away I fall into you And I fade

In the sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someones time runs out? If a moment is all we are Or quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do Who cares if one more light goes out? In the sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someones time runs out?
