    I stand alone
    Burned every bridge over the troubled water
    No longer hiding from my personality disorder
    A stronger tide is coming, I've been running
    trying to function fine with out my mind
    climbing out this fucking corner
    I was born a thorn away from the rotten petals
    A forgotten rebel
    craft in the absence of heaven's heavy hands to develop an evident level of benevolence
    so it's probably better I sold my soul to the devil
    This is a message to anyone I met that thinks they know me
    Don't pretend to understand none of the issues that I'm holding
    I was in a rush to grow up, look Mom no cuts
    Just a stomach in disgust, and the fear
    that I might go nuts this year
    If I don't slow up I'll see you on my way
    One day this shit'll kill me but I guess that it's OK
    I've lost all faith in a world so full of hate
    and I don't fucking love music I just use it to escape
    I'm caught between wanting to punch someone in the face
    and putting a bullet in my head to leave the human race
    Everything takes its toll but there's no tolls I can take
    I haven't yet found a good reason to be awake
    Introducing the corroded bumps I hide behind my smile
    I'm angry at the universe for the way she treats me now
    And keeps me down,
    stealing all my energy
    I'm feeling like my enemy, concealing my identity
    Not dealing with my tendencies,
    I peel the skin and then I squeeze
    The real imprinted hand cause he's
    not human in this century,
    I'm kneeling to the entity
    Who built this penitentiary,
    as filthy as a centipede
    And guilt was in his sense cause he was willing to just let me bleed, While I wore a game face
    In 10 years don't check for me I'll be in the same place
    This planet's just an over-populated mental hospital
    Each zombie walk around constitutes another obstacle
    So here it is I'm finally coming out my shell
    All 19 years of my life have been in conflict with myself
    I'm insecure by every facet of my existence
    From my addictions, to the condition I choose to live in
    Who you kidding?
    I suffer from excess anxiety
    A product of pollution in American society
    Stare into my eyes and see the hell that burns inside my mind
    and I no longer have an ego I can hide behind
    but I've been trying disregarding my insanity
    Every form of art isolates us from humanity
    But it's provoked against being force fed
    so Fuck education for a decade and 3 years
    of headaches from my peers
    Cause now I realize I could have learned more on my own
    They taught me how to know everything except my soul
    Which is everything I need to grow
    Everything that keeps me whole
    Everything that ever meant anything to Eyedea
    So I leave with golden hopes
    to rip the leash that holds my focus
    but the fact remains the same, I'm still bound by chains
    It doesn't matter if your chain is 10 ft or 100 ft
    The fact remains the same, you're still bound by chains
    Some people say I've changed, and it's harder to relate to me
    Good, I never liked you our friendship was make believe
    I'm peeling the mask back and
    revealing the rap that's been
    Feeling my organs drilling short distorted portions
    of morbid acid keeps the torture unfortunately crafted
    interests to orbit my portrait and inflict my image with disorder
    The minutes get shorter, the walls start to close in
    Feels like the brain is hanging on by one clothes pin
    I've hidden in the darkness for too long
    I make it look all right but on the inside it's all wrong
    I want life to change but I don't know if it can
    for a man or machine or whatever the fuck I am
    I stand alone burned every bridge over the trouble water
    No longer hiding from my personality disorder
    You want to die in my life?
    then come and stay in madness' favorite little corner
    Cause even shadows have shadows
    and my secrets are eating me eagerly feeding
    I scream in my dreams away but they keep on defeating me
    Even Shadows have Shadows
    Welcome to the dusty subconscious of an actor
    Who murdered his childhood to stop the audience's laughter
    Even Shadows have Shadows
    How am I to break free from my fears
    When I don't like what I see and I can't feel what I hear
    Even Shadows have Shadows
    So don't judge my book by it's cover
    Cause my story's just fucked up as any other

    I can't buy the album on Amazon can't get it on Spotify. All I can do is play it on TH-cam with my phone while driving to work. I've tried buying the CD but Amazon says it won't ship it to my address. Either way best Eyedea song and it got me through my court hearings when I fucked up in life.
