Part of me won't go away Everyday reminded how much I hate it Weighted against the consequences Can't live without it so it's senseless Wanna cut it out of my soul And just live with a gaping hole Take control of my life And wash out all the burnt taste I made the problems in the first place Hang my head low 'cause it's part of me Ya hardly see right next to the heart of me Heard of me the routine scar New cuts cover where the old ones are And now I'm sick of this I can't stand the sandpaper thoughts that grade away on my sanity I rather not even be then the man that's staring in the mirror through me
Pre chorus Cut myself free willingly Stop just what's killing me (4x)
I feel it everyday I feel I made my way I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside Swallowing me
It can't be frightening if you've never felt it Once it's been dealt with you feel like you've been touched by something angelic And then melted down into a pool of peace Cease to be the animal you used to be Remove the broken parts you know were wrong And feel the karma when the problem's all gone And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can't let be And that reason'll last fight to free yourself Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well And now you know you can choose to lose the part in your heart Where your insides bruise You can live if you're willing to Put a stop to just what's killing you

It's high voltage you can't shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out (4x)
I've been taking into crates ever since I was livin' in space Before the rat-race, before monkeys had human traits Mastered numerology and big-bang theology Preformed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology Invented the mic so I start blessin' it And chin-checkin' kids to make my point like an impressionist Many men have tried to shake us But I twist mic cords to double helixes and show them what I'm made of I buckle knees like leg braces Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of the emcees that hate us So try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry on From now to infinity let icons be bygones I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this I've tried threats but moved on to a promise I stomp shit with or without an accomplish (Mixed media) The stamp of approval is on this
Chorus (2x)
Akira, put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones Never satisfy my rhyme jones Sprayin' bright day over what you might say Blood type carillon Technicolor type A On highways with road rage I'm patient to win The cage and the tin to bounce all around In surround sound devouring the scene Subliminal gangrene paintings Overall the same things sing songs karaoke copy madness Break bones verbally to sticks and stone tactics Fourth dimension, combat convention Write rhymes at ease while the tracks stand at attention (Attention) Meant to put you away with the pencil Pistol, official, 16 line rhyme missile Why you risk it all, I pick out of your flaws Spin, blah-blah-blah-blah You can say you saw
She can't hide no matter how hard she tries Her secret disguise behind her lies And at night she cries away her pride With eyes shut tight, staring at her inside All her friends know why she can't sleep at night All her family asking if she's all right All she wants to do is get rid of this hell But all she's gotta do is stop kidding herself
She can only fool herself for so long (3x) She can only fool herself
I'm too weak to face 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
When it comes to how to live his life He can't be told Says he's got it all under control Thinks he knows it's not a problem he's stuck with But in reality, it'd be a problem to just quit An addict and he can't hold the reigns The pain is worse 'cause his friends have it the same Tries to slow down the problem he's got But can't get off the carousel Until he makes it stop
He can only fool himself for so long (3x) He can only fool himself
Chorus
Try to fly with the wings I gave you Try to do what you believe and I'll save you
Where should I start? Disjointed heart I've got not commitment To my own flesh And I'm left all alone Can't find my home No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart, I Keep it locked up inside I cannot express to the point I've regressed If anger's a gift, then I guess I've been blessed, I
Pre chorus: Keep it locked up inside Keep my distance from your lies
It's too late to love me now You helped me to show me It's too late to love me now You don't take a word in
Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (2x)
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break) Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me) Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too) Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
