[Verse 1]
You know it's been a long time since I was truly interested
With anything that this world had to offer in the present
The scars were recessive, I was carved with a message
And if life leaves wreckage, the past was a lesson
I will be respected as an artist with a method
Who could leave these filthy peasants with pure hate and bitter resentment
I could put you in a box and make you live within a sentence
That's beyond your comprehension
Polishing my weapons is my deficit of attention
A lack of affection but the arrow on my compa** broke so ups my new direction
Show no neglect as I weave threats of intellect
Regrets don't intersect so don't speak for your protection
See it's not about your recollection
It's about the future
The world doesn't care what you shoulda, coulda, used to
Everyday's a new challenge, you must overcome
So I'm always spitting knowledge, shedding light by speaking over drums
Maybe one day we'll be conscious without using d**
Maybe meditate on mountain tops with Tibetan Monks
Yet today it seems to be that medicating's all we love
Turning up the music to forget about the wrongs you've done
Forget about the wrongs you've done, forgive yourself begin anew
Try to know that all that matters is, the truth
Every person has a past, present and a future
But in the end what's left is one
You
[Hook]
It's a comfortable silence that I'm sitting in
No words spoken but I'm still intently listening
Every sound, every breath, every single heart beat
You might not hear it in this moment but yes, art speaks

[Verse 2]
Listen little Markus, with the sk** you contain
You could grow to be great, but I bounce from the place
And make sound from the noise, pressure on the cap as I play with my poison
My voices is poised in positions so awkward
Paint, or a pen and a mind like clockwork
Writing up a long verse
Seeds in the soft dirt, and yes it's fertile
I've been working in my shell, I'm a Ghost, not a turtle
Leaping over hurdles that some deemed impossible
Think like the genius and steer clear of obstacles
This path's not walkable, kick back and watch it though
And learn to use percussive voice, in the age of information
Ignorance is just a choice, wake up, speak out against the noise
Every time your heart beats is another point proven
For the people in the movement we're all tryna make a difference
But in truth we're only human
And it's comin' out of nowhere, people say it's no fair
But I tend to disagree, so I step forth to tear the seams
Between what's reality and what exists as just a dream
It's all the same, don't you see?
What you sense and percieve?
Time is of the essence, and the essence is a tree
It's called Life and it provides all you need
Climbing to the peak, I close my eyes and cease to speak
On the tip of every mountaintop in existential clarity
[Hook]
It's a comfortable silence that I'm sitting in
No words spoken but I'm still intently listening
Every sound, every breath, every single heart beat
You might not hear it in this moment but yes, art speaks
