Angel Eyes

Try to find a place in lines that I embrace

While I strive to find a balance between a time and space

In a microphone.. When Im soundin intense

I feel like 'Pac on his hospital bed, countin his breaths

And they still say, Ill never blow on the mic

Unless I spit a gimmick with some clever jokes cuz Im white

Im forced to listen to critics just chatter they teeth

With all their bullshit opinions like it matters to me

And my closest friends stumble as they mumble and doubt my

While I try to hold the world as it crumbles around me

Feel my lungs close, strain harder for breaths

As the broken dreams I have match the heart in my chest

And the pressure builds… But without a release

I know that ya hope floats, but its out of my reach

Im tired of the masks that we wear (if only)

You saw my true self youd be scared (to know me)

But now I finally see what I love is worthless

Beautys skin deep, but its just a surface

My shoulders are breaking and my focus is hazy

Plus my teeth are chipped from biting all the bullets that you gave me

In the form of lies, and I mistook it as honest

Took the good with the losses, til the good was just lost, its

Hard to hold the burdens until my shoulders bleed

I was forced to flee, until I learned to fly with broken wings

Across the visions of feelins and all this violent livin

Of a fucked up system insistin that I should try to fit in

But now I can see Im unrelated to you

Cuz I took off the mask that suffocated the truth

(If Life) could even worsen, (Then Id) release my burden

(And try) to be the person, (Who writes) and speaks in perfect

(Advice) for people hurtin, (Who cries) and fiends for nursing

(And time) would be asserted, (To find) a decent purposs

(But I) am weak and burdened, (I cry) and seek alertness

(In life) to be the person, (Whos lines) are seen as perfect

(I try) and seem so worthless, (That life) has demons lurkin

(That I) defeat the purpose, (And Life) is seen as worthless

Watch everyday just pass me by/

Slowly corroding and acting fine/

Suffocating on this mask of mine/

Til I run out of breath and I cant survive/

Through my angel eyes I see the devil's truth

Through my angel eyes I see the devil's truth

Through my angel eyes I see the devil's truth

Through my angel eyes I see…
