lyrics

Wretch immortal, filthy forever
Dumb Ignorant academically clever
Forever doubt my endeavours
Every effort gets obsessively measured
Examined then dismantled and severed
Back to the drawing board
Sharpen knives and practice drawing swords
Not drawing straws
Dive head first Enduring the course
Trying not to get caught up in flaws
Just Absorbing the force of all the trauma
Organise my disorder
Or go Hide in the corner
Summarise
Summer in her eyes as the nights draw shorter

And the days lengthen
Cooking in my cave with no great attention
Just Crave a break from the Tension
All the Up tight shite filled anal retention
Drain my brain of invention
Pour it on a page with intention
I lament with my pen the extension
Get Frustrated But Complaints ain't worth a mention
Not content with content
The contents what the song meant
The context its all stretched
A long reach
A strong speech lacking self awareness
In fairness Packing heart but choices Careless
An earnest student but just Ultimately overzealous

Catch a glint of winter in my eye
The nights lengthen as the bright days say goodbye
Drain the river dry
Scrape the bottom of the barrel for something to write
Just need a bit insight
Got to live a bit of life
Got to give a little to get back a bit light
Dumb intelligent
Rise from sediment
Like I said I'm Utilising the elements

Just write it out
Screw it up, throw it in the bin
Then I do it again
Just exercising my pen
Developing the venomous phlegm

I just write it out
Screw it up, throw it in the bin
Then I do it again
Just exercising my pen
Developing the venom my friend

Swapped the narcotics for a music addiction
But still I'm under prepared and lack conviction
Set the scene with a wack description
Sometimes got what I want to say but no rhymes to fit them
Shits predictable expand the diction
Thinking with my dick is a distracting affliction
Writers cock block procrastinating on the mission, Fishing
Got to reel it in
Watch what kind of bullshit you dealing in
Vampires bleed you dry, they wanna leach your skin
Cant let em Fuck your balance equilibrium
Hold tight maintain the discipline, listen
Cant let your energy be misdirected, wont accept it
It all changes when you get perspective
Don't be so protective this is only rap
No need to get too sentimentality attached
Craving what I lack
Gold autumn days fade to winter black
If I slip I'm picking up the slack
Trap and drill got em acting ill
I utilise what I feel
Tryna write to kill
You can't be something that your not
Being who you are is like the greatest attribute you got
Too many tryna act hard but so soft
Beware coz them choices come at a high cost
This world is cold as the frost
A lot of these guys just look like sheep lost
From what I see the scene is awash
They're not about the music they just tryin to floss
I'm tryina be my own boss
That's why I stay plotting not sipping Courvoiss
Used to take days off to doss
Now I stay grinding and collecting the dosh

I just write it out
Screw it up, throw it in the bin
Then I do it again
Just exercising my pen
Developing the venomous phlegm

I just write it out
Screw it up, throw it in the bin
Then I do it again
Just exercising my pen
Developing the venom my friend
