Chet - Shredded lyrics

[Verse 1] Impelling me with ink, consistently telling lies Within my red lines, they're sure to marginalize Failing to see the blue, failing to see the cries Failing to see the emptiness where I'm deprived Indeed I love art, profound respect for creativity When you discern my temple I pray for your sensitivity Willing to break my vow, if promised effort and quality Just ask for commitment, loyalty, authenticity Just ask that you don't blacken my heart with mediocrity and foolishness I made it, I graduated, off to college now But constantly garnished with silliness as if I'm just a child You don't respect me, you hate me, neglect me Abuse me, tarnish my surface, compress and grab a new sheet Molest me, penetrated by your pen Whether mal intent, pray you're forgiven for you sin Admit that I tried, but can't hate Cause at the end of the page, we both just want to be loved We both just want to be [Hook] I mean, I get it I understand Cause money is the root of the plant You plant false images of what the meaning of living is Take my happiness to find fame is not happiness I mean, I get it I understand Cause money is the root of the plant You plant false images of what the meaning of living is Take my happiness to find fame is not happiness [Verse 2] Joy is knowing that you contributed To a greater purpose, must ignore the serpent Just a servant, I serve you so you can serve others Use my lines to write rhymes that could open shutters And open blinds so the broken can see the sunshine Remove ceilings so children can see there's more to life Don't confine me, don't confine yourself Cause the richest man could be lacking wealth And the fittest girl could be lacking health Look hard enough, you're sure to find Orion's belt [Hook] I mean, I get it I understand Cause money is the root of the plant You plant false images of what the meaning of living is Take my happiness to find fame is not happiness I mean, I get it I understand Cause money is the root of the plant You plant false images of what the meaning of living is Take my happiness to find fame is not happiness [Vamp] I dread, no voice to speak If I fled, fled away with the breeze Or I bled, maybe then you could see That I'm shredded, shredded into pieces I dread, no voice to speak If I fled, fled away with the breeze Or I bled, maybe then you could see That I'm shredded, shredded into pieces [Hook] [Outro] Wish that you would value, wish that you would savor And understand the power within a sheet paper Wish that you would value, wish that you would savor But I guess I have no say, I'm just a sheet of paper Wish that you would value, wish that you would savor And understand the power within a sheet paper Wish that you would value, wish that you would savor But I guess I have no say, I'm just a sheet of paper
