Eyenine, Eyedea - Cataract Vision lyrics

Stop listening to things that make
You think about yourself
Drop everything that's been a hassle
To your mental health
Watch carefully and then you'll see
A bare and empty shelf
Carelessly you'll never see apparent
Calls for help
Well you believe so fluently that
Things can never change
And you stupidly refuse to see
The errors in your ways
And I understand that this
Whole planet's thoroughly deranged
But that doesn't mean that you should
So scared to break away
Well I wonder what's under
The cover of darkness
Counting the number of innocent hardships
Making an effort to realize all this
Suffering has to be making some progress


Changing the way that I look at those places
Hating the way that you show me those faces
Breaking the balance of homeostasis
Taking my talents and calling them basic
I'll face it, well it's inevitable when it's
Set in the stone
When I'm sending my soul into hell and I know
That my rhetoric won't be direct in a poem
I'm faceless, this era hasn't made a
Name because it's tasteless
I'm sick of all these wasted
Cases and their makeshift habitats
I'll make sense out of rap
And take this cataract
And make your vision out of whack
It's calling, i'm falling a little bit more
Every day when I'm stalling
I'm running from reapers that want
To be hauling my
Body back to that old place that's appalling
Well I guess I know one thing about life
Everybody's ends in either death or suicide
And I'm just trying to figure out
If what I do is right so Eyedea
Why don't you grab the mic
And shed a little light?

Well the summer bleeds a foreshadow of what's
To come and go to waste
It blankets me, braces me
Something sweet that I can't taste
You're my mother, I'm your morphine
Let's go make a baby out of two guitars
A heavy heart, I'll seem happy when
You're looking smoking, singing, eating
Fucking one size fit's angel coma
You're my favorite stranger
And I won't hate you till I know you
Somewhere between the garden and the grave
I bypassed the machine
I wouldn't have felt it's effects anyway
Sentiment is the tramp that
Bored this special hollow
Cram it in my old cuts
It leaves a whole lot less to swallow
Exercise your right to never buy
What you can borrow
Carve my sorrys in the sky and
Hope the sun hides them tomorrow
Manufactured disaster
It seems I've made my bed
No one sees the burn holes until
The sleeper wakes up dead
Take my hands away
I'll pull the moon down with my wrists
Making plans to fake 'safe
As possible' is dangerous

Writer's block just might have stopped
This song from being finished
Cause my mind was stocked from rhymes
I've dropped from previous conditions
So I listened to the words again
Envisioned things I would have said
And crossed out many lines that didn't rhyme
And left them all for dead
I was trapped inside my head and I couldn't
Get out my pen from my back pocket
Guess I lost it
So I wrote these words instead
If you would just shut up enough for
Me to get my point across
I'm sure this conflict could be
Solved without having substantial loss
And when I see the rain is
Coming overhead I stay and function
Back inside my mind I try to
Find the ways to make assumptions
Taking something that's been written
Mixing it down with high precision
Making it sound all nice and vivid and match
It up with my direction and vision
And eloquence, the decadence, the medicine
The precedence the messages, the sentences
The evidence that I presented to win
The reason to fight, the weakest to bleed
The seasons of time passed
Between when I dream
The secret to life, the reason to be
It has all been shown to me

Well every once in a blue
Moon I read your mind
Heaven ended too soon and stole my
Pride and left me blind
Exercise my morning shakes pretended I
Was born this way
Wearing my Academy Award-winning
Performance face snake shedding skin
It's all in my head again
Life fetish led me to a dead end
I said when but no one was listening
Obviously cause they filled it to the brim
And are spilling it all over me
Crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl
Crawl in this hole with me
I'd fall on my face just to
Make sure that you notice me
Your cold shoulder's always so sobering
I'll be understood as long
As I don't overthink walking on thin ice
Talking in the form of song
Singing in the key of life
I'll lose my voice before too long
Head came loose and they screwed
It back together wrong fire behind my eyes
Desire died all night long
