lyrics

Fighting thoughts with dirty weaponry the world in my palm
Soldiers at arm - Strike! And the nervousness calmed
Alarm sound off the air raid, brigade smash the trenches
The competition is defenceless
I'm just a man part of the bigger picture, trying to understand
I can count all of my friends with one hand
And I don't need more to blind me, my vision's so unsightly
I'm sick of all the bullshit, it's time to go out fighting
And rightly so, I kick it with the highest flow
Lungs corrupt from years of smoke my mind's behind the lighting show
Hiding from the truth or you could say lack of experience
It's time to face reality, shit's about to blow
From the days dazed bent putting shit up in my nose
Chopping sticks up for a quick fix the damage starts to show
So I left it all behind, try to clear and pace my state of mind
Rhymes formed a base t start - a therapy of mine
I still walk like there's land minds, my thoughts still stay hesitant
I do this shit for life until the day that I am heaven sent
I never rest cos sleep's the cousin of death
Eyes wide shut, pen to pad for numbing the stress
Head's a mess and my heart was, I'm gunning this test
Define best? Well I'm trying but I'm running FX
I'm blessed, but it seems that sometimes I forget
Weight of the world, getting cold and the succumbing effects.

(Cut Chorus)

I walk right, my head's left, cue the danger
Fused with pocket full on dred pass a stranger
Zoned, cast a shadow onto fallen hope
This, the place I call home, wish upon a star watch the plot unfold
Find the pot a gold, living with a blurred view
Scheme's grand, scoping on these plans
Staring at my wrist watch, imes ticking faster
Drowning in the sand watch the plans go I'm flirting with disaster
A change to come, I played the sums was the answer right?
Heart of ice, parted vice sitting in a cold room
Prisoner of doom and prisoner of society
I judge wisely, city lights blind me
Empty streets, broken homes, nightmares in foil
Broken hose, head numb so you're dumb to see the turmoil
Ghost in a shell, hell spares none for no one
My soul's done, a scarecrow
Watching as the crows come

(Cut Chorus)

My mind's locked between a rock a hard place with not much to give
Breathing space grows small as well as luck to live
Lust the luxury to bust free from chains that hold hope
A frame of brain states controlled by dope once hung in this crooked house
I'm done now and took it out
Remnants and past tenants snarl with a crooked mouth
Is this paradise or hell?
I'm down to my last buck it's fucked ain't got much to sell
Wash the memories with bleach to a state's that pure
A clean slate for the weight and the fate endured
I'll raise hell like it's my own seed until I get my mind right
I'll shine bright and step into the stage and the limelight
The clouds form, cue the calm before the storm
Warn the masses for the flash when the page is torn...
This is where the rage is born
Arrange pain in the same vain till fame is worn
