2020 ... everybody's obsessed with identity ... maybe it only disturbs me ... cus i can't align with anything that i see ... mixed race, mixed place ... not straight, not bent ... not a woman, not a man ... not really a human ... maybe i should ascend ... into space ... where nothing to the youth makes sense ... just exist, nothing too intense ... your worth is your common sense ... your morality your pounds and pence ... i've always known fitting in would be hard ... that's why i never really tried too hard ... what you see is what you get ... what you see is what you get ... get ... look into my eyes, and all you will see is me ... really as simple as it should be ... really as simple as it should be ... if you look deeper you might see you ... the reason why, lemme give you one clue the surface can be deceptive ... stick your head under and play detective ... investigate your own motivations ... find your fate and get in touch with what it really means to be you ... i know it's easier to say than do ... but trying is all you can do ... trying is all you can do ... do ... look into my eyes ... ... really as simple as it should be ... really as simple as it should be ... if you look deeper you might see you ... the reason why, lemme give you one clue ... maybe there is one truth ... and yea i know i like what i wear ... and yea, i know i'm often too self aware ... i'm not pretending not to care ... what i say is what i swear ... when i say trying's all you can do i'm not trying to preach to you ... i say it to myself before i say it to you ... i'd cut everyone some slack if i were you ... ... look into my eyes ...

i feel pain ... i feel it right here ... know you feel the same ... i know you do my dear ... us two we're the same ... that is my fear ... if we are the same ... why am i here ... i know you aint dealing well ... with all the stress ... i know that me feeling are putting you under pressure ... so i'll go to the woods, it'll make me feel better ... i'll ... go to the woods, it'll make me feel better ... sticks and stones won't break my bones ... only you can write those wrongs ... in the woods i found my home ... whilst searching for the universe ... i feel pain ... i feel it right here ... know you feel the same ... i know you do my dear ... us two we're the same ... that is my fear ... if we are the same ... why am i here ... i know you aint dealing well ... with all the stress ... i know that me feeling are putting you under pressure ... so i'll go to the woods, it'll make me feel better ... i'll ... smoke in the woods, it'll make me feel ... sticks and stones won't break my bones ... only you can right those wrongs ... in the woods i found my home ... whilst searching for the universe ...

my introspect ... expressed through dialect ... was meant to soothe ... and had the desired effect ... cus when i reflect ... there's no need for regret ... i use my past to grow, and gain self respect ... just like a seed, that had to fall from the top of a tree ... to ground itself and gain the sustenance it needs to breathe and be ... recycling its energy from all the dead leaves that had graced the earth previously ... so don't you see? ... what is negativity ... if you can harness it ... and use it positively? ... just like nature intended ... after all we are a part of it, not the heart of it, like anthropocentric beliefs have made us think of it ... cus ... some pray for strenght to carry on ... others rely on supersticions and so on and so on ... but me, my only faith is that i'm here ... so as long as i'm alive, i'll make the most of it while i'm here ... my thirst for verse has been neglected not rehearsed ... so i'm making up for time i didn't put myself first ... my thirst for verse has been neglected not rehearsed ... so i'm making up for time ... my thirst for verse has been neglected not rehearsed ... so i'm making up for time i didn't put myself first ... my thirst for verse has been neglected not rehearsed ... so i'm making up for time ... ... while i'm here ... they say if life has no meaning than you can give it one ... so i meditate and contemplate so i can find my own one ... i kick back and chatter, bout the things that really matter ... expanding my brain, not chasing fame ... cus i'm more entertained, by the former than the latter ... not the glitz and the glamour ... i'd rather think about the meaning that's encoded in the patterns ... and how we're only made of atoms ... we're only made of atoms ... duality ... reigns supreme in this game ... so fear and pain can never lead us astray ... with dark comes light, and though with dark comes pain ... the light is energy that's never lost nor gained ... it remains the same ... yet in a constant state of change ... acceptance the first step to obtain the knowledge i reclaim ... so i grab my pen ... and i begin to write ... syllables to expose what hidden in ... plain ... sight ... my thirst for verse has been neglected not rehearsed ... so i'm making up for time i didn't put myself first ... my thirst for verse has been neglected not rehearsed ... so i'm making up for time ... my thirst for verse has been neglected not rehearsed ... so i'm making up for time i didn't put myself first ... my thirst for verse has been neglected not rehearsed ... so i'm making up for time ... ... while i'm here ...

i'm in love with an artist ... i found out where my heart is ... i'm in love with an artist ... that's my type ... i'm in love with an artist ... you know i've tried my hardest ... i'm in love with an artist ... tonight ... home alone and i'm feeling lonely ... sitting staring at my phone ... cus you promised me that you would call me ... a promise broken every night ... not sure if i can cope this time ... maybe some day soon you'll see the light ... i'm in love with an artist ... well maybe he's a narcissist ... i'm in love with an artist ... that's my type ... i'm in love with an artist ... well maybe just a narcissist ... i'm in love with an artist ... that's right ... home alone and i'm feeling lonely ... sitting staring at my phone ... cus you promised me that you would call me ... a promise broken every night ... i've cried until my eyes run dry... so i'm sorry if i seem uptight ... i'm in love with an artist ... but maybe they're all narcissists ... i'm in love with an artist ... that's my type ... have you ever been in love with an artist? ... i know you've tried your hardest ... i'm in love with an narcissist ... that's my type ...
