If you still think I'm sane in the mind
Regardless how you say that's defined
Just wait til I explain who am I
I'll tell you what's been strange in my life
My memories begin for me at what I think is two or three
I spent those years innocently, came up okay, not perfectly
I sensed a fear inside so deep, made of an array of certain themes
My smallness, insecurity, afraid of people hurting me
Self consciousness, anxiety, afraid of people judging me
Does someone disapprove of me?
And is there something wrong with me?
The nature of the mind you see, these feelings repeat endlessly
The danger of our kind, hear me, we believe everything we think
The razor's edge is fine, two sides, perception changes everything
Creator of the lies, do you buy it? The truth ain't always what it seems
The nature of the mind, you see, these feelings take recurring themes
The danger of our kind, hear me, don't believe everything you think
The razor's edge is fine, two sides, discernment changes everything
Creator of our lives, who decides? It's up to us how we perceive
But before I get overly sidetracked
Let's explore some more of my past
Skip the chorus, turn and slide back
And I'll pour us words of tight rap
I wasn't born into a blind path
I can't ignore the other side, it's fact
I must explore the shadows I cast
Scared of the dark? Avert your eyes, fast
So socially, through verses, we've exposed my nervous tendencies
Although I speak with purpose, these words show I've learned some bravery
Cause growing up was turbulent inside my psychic mental space
Exposing what the surface has to hide behind the veil we see
I know that there is more to the world than matter, there is energy
We're souls before we're robots and consciousness is everything
But now let's keep it focused, It's about to turn more interesting
We're only getting started, take some notes, observe insanity
Imagine please, in bed you sink, you feel your body vibrating
Your astral leaves and then you think "and here we go again, oh jeez"
This happens with ease, regularly, cause sleep is conscious, frightening
You have to see the monster beings, you fear the darkness night time brings
Imagine please, you're only three, you speak of this to nobody
You watch TV and when you see a little kid have creepy dreams
They yell and scream for their mommy who doesn't listen or believe
They tell them that it isn't real, no demons here, go back to sleep
Back to sleep, back to sleep, back to sleep
There are men in the closet, they come back at night
There's no skin, they wear cloth, it's all black, no white
You know when that doorknob starts to rattle from behind
It's those men, your heart stops, they will drag you out of sight
They have no faces, they are pointy like a plague doctor mask
You are not safe; they come to toy with you while your parents are at rest
You're so afraid that you must join them, scared to sleep in your own bed
It doesn't change, you can't avoid this, they can sneak past mom and dad
There's more to say though, there are lots of other creatures in this house
A door upstairs holds in the closet feathered people with beaked mouths
And lord I swear once on the back porch I saw an evil bipedal cow
It stood and stared from behind the glass door, it forever freaked me out
I could go on, I am half done, but I got the gist across
Another song will add on, for now I'll cap this subject off
Follow along knowing I promised this will wrap back to the top
It may seem long but the train of thought flows faster than you'd walk
A style all of its own, inspired by rap, hip hop, synthwave, classical music,
heavy metal, black metal, synthpop, and more.
Packed full of finely crafted sounds, textures, melodies, rhythms, harmonies, and conscious, insightful poetry, I translate spirit into sounds that aim to induce states of psychedelic trance and emotional catharsis.
Jacob Duncan is one of my biggest musical inspirations ever since I was a child. His music spans across several genres with roots in metal, blues, and much more. millicow
múm is is another outstanding band whose unique style blows my mind. I like to listen to this album while driving down the freeway; it really cures the anxiety. Keep in touch with your inner child! millicow
An unique compilation derived from a period of isolation in which all these great musicians and sound enthusiasts were able to experiment and create unique tunes to let the mind wander off into blissful oblivion. josedenoche
