Blackbox/Whitebox

Tell me how you really feel
Will you ever tell them?
Tell them, tell them
Tell me how you really feel
Will you ever tell them?
Tell them, tell them

Can't you feel something? Where I'm at?
Can't you see nothing at the back?
Hear the teeth crunching, peers and seeds crumbling
Stuck inside a box and it's black
Can't you feel something? Where I'm at?
Can't you see nothing at the back?
Hear the teeth crunching, peers and seeds crumbling
Stuck inside a box and it's black

So how it go? Swimming between 1 & 0s, all the ghosts
Begging for some hope, looking up for ropes
The stars have spoken, you've been forsaken
Your planet's just token, all this space is taken
You were promised peoples, the children of god
Principles, tenets and millions of laws
Gazillion of flaws, pulled out the wazoo
So damn hard to believe all of y'all
What we telling those pair of flights and Lebanon
Souls in mezzanine between glaring lights and hell upon
Us. Fuck your panel nights and seminars
Dissecting kinds when we starving out from quarantine
Point is, logic gates can't add it up, the massacre
of meaning, meaning there ain't room for half of us
and if this how we go, put a hole in the Matrix
Goldfishes turned piranhas in a spaceship

If I kept it then I'll take it, just like my life
Just like my life
If I broke it then I'll face it, just like my life
Just like my life
Never wanted this, you could take it
That's on my life, on my life
I know every kid can't make it
So why my life? why my life

Can't you feel something? Where I'm at?
Can't you see nothing at the back?
Hear the teeth crunching, peers and seeds crumbling
Stuck inside a box and it's black
Can't you feel something? Where I'm at?
Can't you see nothing at the back?
Hear the teeth crunching, peers and seeds crumbling
Stuck inside a box and it's black

Never wanted this, you take it
That's on my life, on my life
I know every kid can't make it
So why my life? why my life

Goldfish turned piranhas in a spaceship
It's blue, it's round, it's a void in the making
You knew the sound, these are toils of our patience
Our children willing to make changes to save it
All. Fuck diplomacy
Shoot my leader and his messengers probably
Now. Fuck telling like it is
Your empathies been bankrupt, hell you wouldn't give
How can I take sides when I was shoved to the back?
By wings that never fly, brains stuck in a vat
Shame struck us so fast, made redundant so fast
The weight of these chains crushes the pasts'
Point is, if this a simulation
Indifference is the same shit, our cruelties been baked in
And if this is how we roll, your hopes are all faithless
No heavens out this blackbox, going where they went

Can't you feel something? Where I'm at?
Can't you see nothing at the back?
Hear the teeth crunching, peers and seeds crumbling
Stuck inside a box and it's black
Can't you feel something? Where I'm at?
Can't you see nothing at the back?
Hear the teeth crunching, peers and seeds crumbling
Stuck inside a box and it's black
Nothing's real, we picking out the trash
Counting bars of the cells of our past
Do you hear all the screaming? Them fangs are all gleaming
Buried in a box and it's black
Nothing's real, we picking out the trash
Counting bars of the cells of our past
Do you hear all the screaming? Them fangs are all gleaming
Buried in a box and it's black

Stuck inside a box and it's black
Buried in a box and it's black
I'm buried
Buried in a box and it's black
Stuck inside a box and it's black
I'm stuck

WHITEBOX
Where did you lose your way?
It's okay, I got enough to go throughout the day
I know from here, the horizon looks kinda gray
But its time to speed our way through it, just find a lane
You never held yours alone, you held theirs' too
The faith and the hopes, such an apparent due
Wish you saw inside the eyes on the rear-view
All that pain fertilized a rose in a snared dune

So why you think you are without
Me and you haven't found me inside your heart
Just a piece of your soul, intertwined from the start
I'm forever your whitebox, forever your whitebox
So why you think you are without
Me and you haven't found me inside your walls
Just a piece of your soul, full of kindness and heart
I'm forever your whitebox, forever your whitebox

You are meant for many things
Just to give up at the ends, really that's why you became?
A vessel for your people, a message, they just need you
Through the pressure, its see through, eventually speak to
The children in them, no matter their flaws and sins
It isn't different, how can you let ennui win?
Lyrics written, I know I'm not here today
Listen to me now Farvez, speak to their hopes and their faiths

I found love and found hope and found need
For me to exist beyond risking to the speed
A 1000 cries adorned your insides, wouldn't leave
Maybe if you were a human, I wouldn't grieve
But I am the person personified, just a piece
Of myself I didn't know I had, what could it mean?
In a world where children starve and men couldn't breathe
Knees of power thrusts upon the voice till it couldn't speak
They talk wings, they talk sides, I'm feeling weak
Where do I belong? Who will I ever reach
Maybe I'll die anonymous and never seen
If I do make it, the heavens burn and hell is green
But does it really matter if it ever mattered
Turned whitebox to a prism, let my light scatter
Piercing dark skies, start with one soul next to you
Even if it goes untold, you're inevitable

I know I ain't without you
And I have just found me inside their hearts
Just a piece of their world, if I die tomorrow
They will catch me in my white box, catch me in my white box
So why you think you are without
Me and you haven't found me inside your heart
Just a piece of your soul, intertwined from the start
I'm forever your whitebox, forever your whitebox
I know I ain't without you
And I have just found me inside their hearts
Just a piece of their world, and if I die tomorrow
They will catch me in my white box, catch me in my white box
So why you think you are without
Me and you haven't found me inside your walls
Just a piece of your soul, full of kindness and heart
I'm forever your whitebox, forever your whitebox
