(Verse 1: MaJiK) High without the smoke…lines without the coke I turn to these rhymes in times I need to cope With emotions when they got me broken And hopeless; these poems help me refocus See, I'm afraid…I've been scared to tell the truth Scared of telling you what nightmares I've held as proof To my insanity…they loom inside and panic me The more I kept them hidden, the more they tried to vanish me It was damaging to keep everything bottled up Every time I was shaken, I feared it'd all erupt But just a touch, what a rush…pencil to the paper Never thought that I could trust this silent friend to be my savoir So I labor on these pages…cleansing my soul Turn the tears that never rolled down my cheeks into these flows Swallowed my pride…acknowledged that I Needed to dead the past so tomorrow sees life (Hook)x2 Emotions (on the tip of my tongue) With no one (and nowhere to run) I open (my soul to this canvas)
(Words I imagine give voice to the madness) (Verse 2: Duce2uce) (Hook)x2 (Verse 3: MaJiK MC) Why me? That was always the question I haven't figured it out but I call this progression Getting closer when I'd jot down a sentence These thoughts full of tension would start to make sense and I could see myself through the shapes of each letter My soul's outline being traced released pleasure Exposing my weakness was making me better Memories I was running from were safe to rememeber Owning up to my mistakes, moving forward out the past No one knew the kind of hate brewing up behind the mask But with this outlet, out went the doubt in The outfit of the clouds that surrounded My mind and my life…black ink, silver lines Dark thoughts captured by non-filtered rhymes To reveal a heart of gold, soul made of diamonds And a burning pa**ion that's been keeping me alive inside (Hook)x4
