[Intro: Kristoff Krane & Guante]
Migraine, instant, surface, searching
Deeper, we did see emerging
Teacher, students, secrets, perfect
Eager, nervous, dream big
[Verse 1: Kristoff Krane]
It's just another closed door, I'm the old and invisible me
Character of flaw by the goal sets that live in my jeans
So sore in the bones, so sore in the skies
Stone cold to the touch, so bored I could cry me
Me, me, me, me a river
Through a mountain side, my mind make me remember
What it's like to shiver in the pits in December
The center of the circle of influence I surrender
To, to the flame that I bow to
It told me to be solid so I screamed it was soundproof
Rain dropped, bu*terfly, chaos, chameleon
Environment shake, different colors, disobedient
Yeah, and I'm trying to act my age
Back pressed, tied against the wall of a cave
Birthday states 1983, that means I'm 28
Point 654239 billion years away from my birthplace
Staying on this Earth takes time
Willpower by the urge of survival
King of the hill, k** or be k**ed
They taught me like that's the only way to fly out of a bird cage
I'll sing my heart out til I'm in shock
Put the king in a lock
I'd rather k** my wings than fly in a lost flock
Who fights dirty and flight searching
For a surface that's perfect
[Hook: Kristoff Krane]
Wash me til I'm clean of what I've done
Hold me like you need someone to love
Kick me like a habit, I'm a drug
Fix me til I break what you make
Wash me til I'm clean of what I've done
Hold me like you need someone to love
Kick me like a habit, I'm a slave
Fix me til I break what you make
[Verse 2: Guante]
An open letter to myself at fifteen fallin'
Don't wait to grow wings or nothing, just hit the ground running
The pit of your stomach is a star collapsing
Your fist is a lit wick far from lasting
So act, a little known fact:
Everything is flammable if you got the right kinda match
So if you find a rough patch in your life it's
Just another place you can strike it, yo
We're all capable of so much
We're all waiting for a sign that's never gonna show up
We're all made from the same dust
We're all convinced that it's paydirt, can you blame us?
We're all lasers pointed at the sky
And any idiot can hit it but can you make it ignite?
We might be prepared to lose
But we're also prepared to fight, let's go
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Guante]
An open letter to my enemy; you are stronger than I'll ever be
And I don't measure up in any way that you can measure me
So take my lunch money and take the love from me
And replace it with hate ‘til I break but I'm done running
Whatever the better measure of strength
A bully ain't nothing but a nosebleed
But if it were as simple as keeping your head up
A lotta brothers and sisters wouldn't never have left us
Yo, so how do you miss this?
Nine suicides in two years in one school district
They say kids will be kids
I say bigots will be bigots and their kids will be just as sick
But we are a community and stand together when it's not right, and not fair
If you want to change the world; change yourself
Just don't think for a minute, you can stop there
