They think that I think too much about the suffering There’s some disease inside my brain They think that I think too much about the suffering Well, I just think they think too much about their property

No Bird Sing, “Glass Name”

[nothingquiteasbeautifulasmusic]

I sit in empty rooms and try to empty heaven I've got no insurance on this body I've been given I don't even take care of it because it's only rented I never pay respects and now I'm running low on credits I'm blacking out the camera lens and moving undetected Cause that's the only method I can move without rejection I settle for less, because it's easier than stressing It's way to much work to try to figure out the message

Simple, “Murder my God”

[nothingquiteasbeautifulasmusic]

Now they want to mitigate the gusto, that's like asking the cast of Watership Down to fuck slow

[rapgameshinjiikari]

One day we’ll be holding hands instead of grudges We’ll eliminate our territorial circuits and know what love is

Eyedea & Abilities, “This Story” (via kuroshirokuroshirokuroshiro)

[nothingquiteasbeautifulasmusic]

A loose canon whenever his neighborhood is mentioned In several murders he's a person of interest He'd be safer if he were serving a sentence arrested in a bag He don't know another life or existence So until his enemies come and kill him, he represents his flag A menace to society Even though the system made him We gonna just ignore the irony

-Ryuken Vs, "Flags"

[nothingquiteasbeautifulasmusic]

You made me more me, And I won't forget, the times you helped my find my feet When I was buried in my head

-Eyedea & Abilities, "By the Throat"

[nothingquiteasbeautifulasmusic]

See I don't know hell but I've read about it often Sounds like a dope concept gone wrong Note to caution

Yeah momma said they was the Taliban Hang around in alleys and Rally them Ain't that what they said bout the Italians?

-Swet Shop Boys, "Benny Lava"

[nothingquiteasbeautifulasmusic]

Secrets leak out when you're asleep Coming from a queen's mouth, talk isn't all that cheap

-Eyedea, "By the Throat"

[nothingquiteasbeautifulasmusic]

If I die before I sleep Heaven will look just like a dream If I go up 'fore you do I'll save a spot in heaven for you next to me

-Eyedea, "Itchy"

[nothingquiteasbeautifulasmusic]

So it's binge and purge, stomach acid burns She sings perfectly in tune, but no one understands her words She said "build me a castle", so I went to work And ignored the problem in the almighty name of her I've been here before, happens every time I stay so focused on the light I wind up going blind As time slipped by, didn't realize She was disappearing into thin air right in front of my eyes An old wise man used to say to me don't play with smoke and mirrors I'm up to a pack and a half a day I sleep by myself, cause there's no one else here

-Eyedea (Carbon Carousel), "Skinny"

[nothingquiteasbeautifulasmusic]

You're behind the walls of new Roma, you wanna buy the farm (you wanna kill yourself) But the land's not yours to own (but your life's not yours to take) Who owns Police? Who holds fold green, sold sand to beach? Blood beach

EL-P, "Deep Space 9MM"

[nothingquiteasbeautifulasmusic]

For any man to ever say another man is irrelevant Is an ant trying to grow a trunk and dance like an elephant

-Open Mike Eagle, "Deathmate Black"

[nothingquiteasbeautifulasmusic]

The snow melted right when the smoke cleared I turned love inside out a thousand times trying to see if it was ever anything more than the will to persevere But the two go hand in hand, the clouds surrounding you eventually will clear I can breathe I found contentment in the end Telling a god I don't believe in to go to sleep so I can think again We went through thick and thin Came out separate on the other end But please know no matter what you'll always have me as a friend

Eyedea & Abilities, "By The Throat"

[nothingquiteasbeautifulasmusic]

Left that place in ruin Drunk on the spirit, And high on fumes

-The Mountain Goats, "Psalms 40:2"
