Living Is Strange

Secluded
The Rest of the world
See I mute it
I live in a bubble
I'm feeling de-rooted
Connection to source
It needs a rebooting
When back in my zone
Don't know where the roof is
Truth is
Proof is
The people so ruthless
My empathy builds
They hatred it spills
Into my soul
Would need pills
If music wasn't in my life
Use it
Tryin to make a lil right
Lose it
Bottom, thinkin all the strife
Chose it
On the path to make it bright
Takin a lake of sadness
Take a chance
Try to erase, the madness
Replace these magnets
Attracting, these awful patterns
Man up in the mirror
Need to interfere
Can't just blame the beers
Can't just blame the peers
Just to make it clear
It's your fault
May appear to be
A snowfall
But slipping n sliding
Up on the ice
Sometimes, its due
To the cold that's inside
Look with ya eyes, n
Take some advice
Your heart
Is true
Sometimes
Don't need mind
We divine
Know our needs
Heard it through the vine
We grow the reeds
And the grape its fine
But we smoke the weeds
And abuse the wine
When I reconnect
To this earth
Regain intellect
And it hurts
Seeing, the deep effect
Of this curse
Helps me, redirecting
This, burst
Like

I don't know what y'all think but
Now's the time for us to link up
Really think we on the brink of
Making a change
From living that's strange
Living is strange
Making a change
From living that's strange
I don't know what y'all think but
Now's the time for us to link up
Really think we on the brink of
Making a change
From living that's strange
Living is strange
Making a change
From living that's strange

Jaded
The rest of the world
See they faded
I'm lookin for cause
They looking to break it
I look to the stars
The look to the basement
My visions elated
Our world is greatest
The base, deface this
Try to berate it
As anticipated
Who breaks the case
They try to negate it
Our world we meant to keep it bright
But they
Try to turn it into night
Nothing
Get me quitting on the fight
Something
Got me chasing on the light
See the basis, is
What emancipated the kids
Whatever case this is
I don't even know what a racist is
We all the same
Whatever color
That's just the paint
All got a mother
And live through
Fifty shades of pain
Soul food
See I know dude
Even though
We wasn't raised the same
Together, brah
See we pull through
No one here
Can erase the flame
Or ever try
To control you
We divine
Know our needs
Heard it through the vine
We grow the reeds
And the grape it's fine
But we smoke the weeds
And abuse the wine
When I reconnect
To this earth
Regain intellect
And it hurts
Seeing, the deep effect
Of this curse
Helps me, redirecting
This, burst
Like

I don't know what yall think but
Now's the time for us to link up
Really think we on the brink of
Making a change
From living that's strange
Living is strange
Making a change
From living that's strange
I don't know what yall think but
Now's the time for us to link up
Really think we on the brink of
Making a change
From living that's strange
Living is strange
Making a change
From living that's strange
