I Digress

My walls is rock they keep out the wolves
Ground beneath me is dirt to sniff out the fools
Cold, I go out at night, that's when I dance
See me walking the woods, you don't know my plans
I keep to the trees, the water is pure
You selling you air, then look for a cure
Go empty your brain into your palm
Proclaim looking away, they did you wrong
Huh, I, I am the one who step out to breathe
Then turning to go, you already leave
Sick with a gift and a curse, I dive in
Look back now I see a third, huh, I digress

My walls is rock they cold to the touch
Sharp, callous my skin, give me that rush
Hush! Lower your voice, hand me the torch
Douse, out of the house, off of the porch
This, end of the days out of the book
Moon light up my face, how do I look
Coward flee to the back, never confront
While eyes covet my wealth, all that you hunt
Well fine! Take it away but I won't play blind
Witness under the sky, I tally your crime
I tally your sin! I'm tallying all of the signs
Whatever you find I already left it behind

I stand at the crossroads of the schism
Where hobby is protest and calling it wisdom
Sharpening your ignorance what it is
Then drag me in your despair when you shatter your vision
Looking through your lens, prism murky
Vision bend around where demons lurking
Funny when it's you what you let pass
No need to curse your ass
You as bad as the worst with half of the class
Huh, Hmm, bad as the worst with half of the class

Hey now you should know
Know what I'm willing to do
Know where I'm willing to go
Know what I'm willing to burn
Places I'll never return
And the faces I'm willing to wear
Is the burden you could not bear
Catalyze all that I learn
And reap what I earn
That do not be your concern anymore
But if you want war
You should know

My walls is rock they keep out the wolves
Ground beneath me is dirt to sniff out the fools
Cold, I go out at night, that's when I dance
See me walking the woods, you don't know my plans
I keep to the trees, the water is pure
You selling your air, then look for a cure
Go empty you brain into your palm
Proclaim looking away, they did you wrong
Huh, I, I am the one who step out to breathe
Then turning to go, you already leave
Sick with a gift and a curse, I dive in
Look back now I see a third, huh, I digress
I digress
I digress

How could I have known it was a test
Now where do I turn now that I lost
I refuse to give up, refuse to give in
Say that after you sin, I dare you defend
Defend the weakness you choose to carry
Within walls built, architect my guilt
Citadel of lies that I built
Vessel of the prize that I spilt
Disguise hurt my eyes, let it wilt
Nestled in the guise of the gilded
To the sides they grow tilted
As I rise above the pyres of bewildered little souls
Fed homogenaic filtered little goals
My protogenic spittle simmer in the coals
That's why I summer in the winter when it's cold
I hear dismay beating in the hearts
Of the demons when I'm feeding in the dark
Blood bleeding in the dust
Colors that I painted in the sand
Scattered where your waiting at the bend
On bended knee offering your hand
Praying that I take it as a friend
Oblivious to all that you pretend
Memory too clear to grant forgiveness
Witness as I testify intent

As my days in the desert draw to an end
You should know
It is too late
To make your amends
