More shows. More flows. Nooooooooooooooo rapping. I'm not a rapper.

hidden treasures

i’ve let you in

i can't get you out

i've given you a glimpse of my world

you continue to look around

fascinated with the hidden treasures encrusted within my soul

a connection of like minds

i can’t seem to find on a regular basis

consistency they lack

sending me on a endless journey

looking for a deeper acquaintance

a meaningful conversation

touching beyond small talk

mental stimulation 

elevating to another level

mind blown 

every time i hear his soul speak

he brings out the lyrical freak in me

trying to convey the way he moves me

passionately

inspiration from miles away

over the past few days pages of my notebook have been overflowing

its a nice escape

from the anger and frustration

i’ve felt from from being heartbroken

recently

Call Me Crazy

CALL ME CRAZY

CAUSE I STILL CARE

CALL ME CRAZY

CAUSE I WANT YOU HERE INSTEAD OF THERE

CALL ME CRAZY

BECAUSE I CAN'T EASILY LET YOU GO

I'VE PUT TO MUCH INTO US TO WALK AWAY

CALL ME CRAZY

CAUSE EVERYDAY I’M THINKING OF YOU AND HOW I CAN GET YOU BACK WHERE YOU BELONG

WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT TO ME

LOVING ME

INSTEAD OF PRETENDING I’M NOT HERE WILLING TO MAKE IT WORK

DESPITE ALL OF THE TRUCKLOADS OF DIRT YOU'VE PILED ON ME

I'M WILLING TO SHAKE IT ALL OFF

CALL ME CRAZY

CAUSE I STILL LOVE YOU

CALL ME CRAZY

I NEED A DOCTOR TO EVALUATE MY BRAIN

CAUSE I STILL WANT TO BE WITH YOU EVEN THOUGH NOTHING HAS CHANGED

I Can’t Breathe

I can't breathe

All the lies  you are forcing me to believe is blocking my airways

I'm hyperventilating

Trying to adjust to the fact that you are expecting me to actually believe these lies

I can't breathe

The knives in my back have punctured my lungs

I'm gasping for air it's only making things harder

With you staring me in my eyes providing no help

Watching me die from all your lies

I can't breath

All your promises are coming up trying to get out of me

With no success it's only choking me

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

As you stand there and watch me offering

No help

I collapse

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

I can't ...

Breathe
