Musical Emotions

My feelings are complicated so I tend to hit the play button
The musical notes make me float and I say nothing
Just stay hunting for a particular song
I'll know it when I hear it and I'll probably drift along
Intoxicated by the melody, drawn to the message
If I relate, then it's fate, I find it impressive
That I always find a song explaining what I feel
Starts at the heart, rushing to the brain to make chills
I close my eyes to envision stories given
But realize that it clearly mentions what I'm living
I'm awestruck, I'm amazed and lost for words
Now caught up in the moment, the rest is just a blur
A different song is a different path
If I click another tune, I could be reliving my past
Music is a holy grail that captivates with fascination
It can turn happiness into aggravation
Through agitation or vice versa with many uses
It can bring up many issues and inform the clueless
Or spread ignorance to wise men and make them foolish
You can lose your train of thought by embracing the ruthless
When I was little I would put my headphones on and blast it
Only cds because at times the radio had static
I would vibe out to it in hopes that it don't skip
Music emotions are much stronger than a dope trip

Musical emotions flowing through my soul like oceans
The words are growing on me so I keep my mind open
When life is like a battle, the music is my safe-hold
Every morning, every night the melody creates goals
Inspiration through penetration of the brain
The music can uplift when I feel completely drained
All these musical emotions, ah, musical emotions

Shattered dreams of all these picture perfect families
Shedding tears in bed, revisiting the insanity
Asking God, what in this awful world have you handed me
Hearing my parents scream
Holding my breath until I can not breathe
As fear grips my throat, I'm trying not to choke
I'm crying, I'm crying until all of my pillow is soaked
It's hot running down my nose, but cold on my cheek
I can not move, I can not speak, my body is too weak
Until I finally get the strength to pick up my shield
I put the album on and it creates a forcefield
Now I can escape all the tragedies of reality
In a world of music where I am truly glad to be
No more screaming, no more pain
No more violent images are sneaking on my brain
These musical emotions really take you away
So be careful what you listen to when hitting the play, aye

Musical emotions flowing through my soul like oceans
The words are growing on me so I keep my mind open
When life is like a battle, the music is my safe-hold
Every morning, every night the melody creates goals
Inspiration through penetration of the brain
The music can uplift when I feel completely drained
All these musical emotions, ah, musical emotions
