Tormance - Recognize lyrics

[Verse 1] Took a look in the mirror and I could finally see me Recognizing in recency when I'm not thinking freely It's like a genie comes and tells me when I'm being greedy Sometimes it cuts deeply when you see what you should change really I feel the need to become something and leave my sanctuary Hit the world running holding a Wu slang dictionary Interested in lean but when he's home he's only sipping dairy Still having dreams in which he's k**ing canaries I wanna move to a prairie work on myself with no mercy Although friction is lowering I'm lucky I didn't overheat I don't know I just feel clearer, I've been noticing Just how little control my boss has over me My focus is shifting to, my addiction to And dependence on solitude and what I gotta do Stop wallowing in it till I see fit to call it a night Don't wanna be so uptight make me require a light Rearranging days from where sadness was the standard Take a look back, how far the tables can turn I learned not to ask man for answers You'll get sh** like plant's a noun and verb Made Sun Ray in an attempt to help the souls be free Whoa is me, poles switch depicting UFO or OBE It hurt when I landed but I'm brushing the dust off I must not fail I've tried too hard thus far To screw heads on and to get these minds straight Cuz they've been pushed aside by sentiment like get in line, wait Afraid to make a sound too much to file a complaint It's been a while since they'd had to fake a frowny face Try and break laws and get smacked on by the rulers Do their damndest to be sure they get it in like virgin tutors Squirming with the discomfort of others undermining their futures The ones who decide if and when you become a f**ing loser You're stupid, you need to do what I say I swear you're gonna fail You're f**ing nailed if I catch a whiff of you slipping under rail The goal is crunching you to a number making your summer stale Bail on your friends but don't forget neglect others or they'll Take advantage making our games pale in comparison Embarra**ing as admitting it is I know your arrogance'll Spare me can't care for thirty seconds or think for yourself You're special to me, I think you deserve to serve well Would it be easy if I just don't (x2) [Verse 2] I hold no stock in college daze or Ivy League I.V. stream sedating me complacent proud of my degree No chasing dreams I play the game they still don't hire me And now I'm stuck in a rut cuz I couldn't see the higher me Disguised in glee, forked road, no good way to go But, hey, I chose this, I broke my f**ing soul If I ever have kids I don't know what I'm gonna tell em Love felons don't get jealous and to stay in the present Rebellion's more fruitful than losing your voice yelling If they feel inadequate they're still more compelling Than the cases who embrace weapons their steady drip of venom Never sell yourself short remember you're already heaven Take the breaks off Go slow [Verse 3] I must say, today sure could've been worse The next to come could be the one that really hurts Could be the one that frees me from this Earth But end in bed or a hearse, know its purpose is served At first it seems it might be like the one before But my eyes open I see there's no knowing what's in store Or what it's for, who, even when it's said I can't be sure But the effects are felt and in the end it just gets restored Whether it led to better head space or lessening dead weight The d**h rate decreased releasing souls return to grace To the purity of virgins till there's lessons they be learning Loosening mind sets stretch grow accustomed to the serving Sized up, lied to from start to finish mind f**ed Carts in front of horse you get nowhere if you don't try some Forget what you know, ego can't possibly help none Doesn't matter what happened pat on the back, there, well done Another one down (x2)
