Overture of Past Pain INTRO: Mr. Parker are you sleeping in my class? Wake up you silly nigga Don't let all your dreams get past In school you barley passed and Staying single seemed to last But you keep getting trapped by these boobies Don't let your innocence get booby trapped [VERSE 1: Vo-Kal] Thats when I wake up To the existence that I call reality One meal a day ends barely meet That's what I call my salary And damn shawty thick In that bang bros. gallery My mind's racing there faster The places getting more vast her Past sins on my mind but yet I Can't pass them up blinding Lights in my rear view Missing opportunities that's not new Just got through to my confidant Embarrassed to tell him new news Just got a feature instead He told me just to keep up my head My minds racing there faster The places getting more vast her Perfect body still on my mind Can I finally just get past her Master my feelings and future endeavors Both girls on my mind won't do nothing but failures Thats why we wouldn't work out I got a life, deadlines to meet Final fantasy Just strategy on my mind That's just how it has to be Stay focused, straight path Stay firm in all of my beliefs I know when your lying But I seem to always just lie to me I can't lie to me Just don't lie to me I can take it But only lies lie that deep The truth hurts But ignorance is poison And betrayal is the reason that you lied to me But finally I'm confident in myself now Past those awkward moments When I bring myself down When I look in the mirror And see the man that I've become After all those years of self doubt My potential out weighted The possibilities Of they're hate Controlling my thoughts And now I need To free all of my thoughts And all of my inner demons That deemed my thoughts Dirty and out of sync Of society Maybe some mental dieting The deity that guided me God, the one that's beside of me Inspiration fighting for me All my fans thats fighting for me All my friends that's fighting for me All my family fighting for me But I'm the one I need to fight for I chose a path I hope I'm picking the right door I chose production I hope the beats on the right score And all my free time Is telling me I should write more It's never too late for now I still live it That 30 rock episode Reason I'm still in it A jack of all trades And a master of all But I can't find growth Until I capture my fall New girl on my mind But she been ignoring all of my calls It went so well at first But now she won't kiss me at all Maybe if I call her once more Or even show up at her door She'll start acting normal again And just fall into my arms http://genius.com/Vo-kal-overture-of-past-pain-lyrics

Superficial (Better Than Most) [VERSE 1: Vo-Kal] Ignored calls Closed bathroom door stalls I question my sanity crying on the floor [Pause] I guess I'm so appalled And my bedroom is walled As prison for my memories My brain is sprawled Solace? No I can't get none Sleeping on the rising sun All my family worried Cause the Guinness and the Jameson I'm ok only my flow sick My V6 knock you to the floor bitch It's me and Hobbz until the end So on the way out don't you let the door hit It's impossible for you to ignore this I don't care just pour it Just top it off, I'll take it back No chaser needed to enjoy it No chaser needed this boy shit This toy shit I torch it (No chaser needed this boy shit) Gyarados to his koi fish Scary hoes at his door step I take care of hoes no horse shit I meant girls this my warning My tongue slipped exploring You really think I'm lame And I know it now Bound to fall in love Just praying I don't hit the ground [HOOK: Vo-Kal] My whip It's rides well My flow It rides well My job It pays well... Ok I mean it pays ok I got the car and the clothes What more could you ask for I heard that girls love The superficial asshole X2 So why don't she fuck with me Huh So why don't she fuck with me I got it all and everything she said she wanted Ghost of the girlfriend past Cause now my everything is haunted [VERSE 2: Bam Bino] My cash is green My car is clean Now I don't understand why shorty not up on my team It take a boss to get a bitch like this These niggas broke But all I need is convo I'm hoping that be the note I'm spitting my real feelings I'm hoping that be the quote Sex game on point And I know she like to drink I hope she fucking with that Henney Cause that's all I like to drink Sex appeal I love her style Her wardrobe Them colors so wild Turn down we never go mild Take trips I got that Her interest is not at Me I'm surprised that She don't want to mess with a real nigga Polo socks Tommy Hilfiger Tell me what you want I'll spend figures End of the night we all alone So are you So what's wrong Talk to me what's on your mind I ain't in a rush I got time Emotions they in the air Contact all we do is stare But Vo-Kal do she really care (Big homie do she really care) [HOOK] [VERSE 3: Vo-Kal] Cause now my everything is haunted Cause now my every move is taunted All I wanted Was the superficial flaunting Trophy wife that was my type Still beautiful in the morning Great head for the head aches Stay in bed till her legs shake Take her out on a vaca' Tokyo our main stay Bring her out on the main stage When I perform insane day When I propose on that same day Fall in love again like our first date [HOOK] http://genius.com/Vo-kal-superficial-better-than-most-feat-bam-bino-lyrics

Off To Nowhere [VERSE 1: Vo-Kal] I'm childish I'm selfish I'm emotional I should try and find someone A lot more devotional That's what she told me when We agreed to be friends When she stopped to pretend I ain't lose that time that was spent Now I'm driving in the fog With my high beams on Abel singing in my ear I wanna die to these songs Man this pain so deep Tired of crying to these songs But I can't shake the feelings From when she lied in my arms From when she lied in my arms Straight to my face See the scars on my heart And my sleeves tore up I used to wear them so proud Man my grandma used show me How to scream so loud And let the demons out It's ok to be scared Now my tears seeping out Cause the thought of losing her Is invoking my past Cause I still have the letter She wrote me right before she passed [HOOK: Vo-Kal & Goss] I love to get lost in the nighttime These feelings got me lost at the right time And you had me tossing and turning I had to get out and free my mind as a life line (Just close my eyes and get lost Just drive away and get lost To ease my soul I get lost To forget about you I get lost) Took my love away just another day Got to get lost take away the pain Got to get lost took away the pain And my love lost all I feel is pain Because I am (off to nowhere) [VERSE 2: Vo-Kal] Still thinking Where is my life right now Only difference now is that The music never quiets down I try to keep it loud Drowning out possible sound Of my irrational thinking And all the girls that turned me down Saying "No, sorry you can't get this" Abel hit a high note So I don't have to reminisce I'm just tryna get lost In this Stephen King "Mist" And now my demons Looking like Stephen King's "IT" Mixed with the clickers From the "Last of Us" I'm still a good guy But damn they killing of the last of us I keep telling myself All women aren't the same But these girl's past sins Be making my goodness stray But I'm still a romantic True love not to blave Is my intentions dammit As you wish I mutter under my breath Princess bride of my dreams Arriving in a white dress [HOOK]x2 [HOOK 2: Vo-Kal & Goss] I love to get lost in the nighttime These feelings got me lost at the right time And damn you had me tossing and turning I had to get out and free my mind as a life line Took my love away just another day Got to get lost take away the pain Got to get lost took away the pain And my name Goss all I see is rain Because I am (off to nowhere) [OUTRO: Vo-Kal] So lost I don't want to come back Maybe get stuck in dream But no alarm to bring me back Won't be long I promise Man I swear I'm coming back I just need a few days alone To get me back on track So lost I don't want to come back Down the rabbit hole With the Cheshire Cat Maybe meet Alice Turn her into my queen No heartbreak allowed When you fucking the king So lost I don't want to come back In a galaxy far away Where Chewbacca has my back Millennium Falcon Will take us both where we want Maybe become a bounty hunter For Jabba the Hutt So lost I don't want to come back So lost I don't want to come back http://genius.com/Vo-kal-off-to-nowhere-lyrics

Wishing [HOOK: Vo-Kal] Wishing that you Were here by my side Praying for these Feelings to subside Everything was going too right Now our future is gone For us I would fight Another day of you in my arms [VERSE 1: Vo-Kal] You held me down Far beneath the truth Could you decide What's best for me and you And how I feel Is slowly losing potential Cause now Your all I ever wanted I can't see myself enduring any longer My ropes are thin and yours just seem to be getting stronger Got me sippin Now I'm faded Off into the distance Screaming fuck The bitches That be tryna diss us Then I feel the pain That make it hard to listen And the grief comes back And I just picture us kissing [HOOK] [VERSE 2: Vo-Kal] Promises were made the ones you shattered girl I was tore apart I never let you down You told me not to fall in love It wouldn't matter girl Cause you stole my heart And then you let me drown The warning wasn't enough for me to Make better choices with my soul Gave it to the devil in the high heel Jim Choo's Swear I can't hold it together anymore I can't see myself enduring any longer My ropes are thin and yours just seem to be getting stronger And I'm yelling Carpe Diem As I'm rounding those turns Fuck Yolo, dead poet What I'll be I just can't learn From these bitches That just use me For the moment and then burn My life inside a swisher With the rest of their concerns [HOOK]x2 [VERSE 3: Goss] This happened a year ago I remember this clearly You said you never failed school How the fuck did you fail me I reminisce about good times Here's one of those moments Well I finally gave up On you but I can't stop smoking Whoa this Girl is poison My mind is slowly boasting Thanks to you And I can't stop showing My talent off and it's golden Holding onto my life You say you'd be my wife I knew I died in my sleep when it all happened that night It all happened so fast I wish I never trusted you It's clear you are the fucking same Back when I first met you Second time drinking I told her we were fucking Sure enough I was fucking Easy pussy is nothing Slowed down on my music A dumb mistake cause I was clueless To the subtleties and the one with me Was fake stupid the rudest No that's not music Your tats look like sewage Need a say more Fuck yea lets do this I go in like twins that's nothing to me Mistakes are born cause this lifestyles not free You clapping your hands cause I'm riding the beat I wish you were here but you wish you were me Now ain't that some shit Sayonara C'est la vie I wish you the best but the best is just me My life is a movie Hers is like the musical If I died today nobody came to the funeral [HOOK] http://genius.com/Vo-kal-wishing-feat-goss-lyrics

Blackout [VERSE 1: Vo-Kal] Whiskey shots Bottle of Patrón Cheap beer all around Is the smell of my cologne Music so loud But I can't hear the song And my thoughts are distorted By this muse of the unknown It's ok there's trappers in the driveway They my niggas But they won't do what I say Just be cool They're here to party too And they brought some refreshments For us to party to And the smoke so high now Everybody so high now And they hands in the sky now Put your hands in the sky now [HOOK: Vo-Kal] I always hate you When I'm coming down Cause you left me all alone And now I'm depressed Around all of my friends Having a fucking good time x2 [VERSE 2: Vo-Kal] Drunken walking Stumble over that chair Michael playing Moonwalking with no care We're all having fun We're all having fun We're all having fun Right now we have no care It's ok take a piss in the driveway There's more beer in the fridge Olde English Friday Baby just do whatever I say We bout to burn this place down Down down down And the smoke so high now Everybody so high now And they hands in the sky now Put your hands in the sky now [HOOK] [VERSE 3: Vo-Kal] Finally feeling the consequences Of loneliness I hate having fun Cause it feels like the phoniest Way to express myself When I'm feeling down I don't want hide my feelings I just want to push em out But misery loves company But my company hates misery And I'm now so miserable All keep is full cups with me To drown out the old me Who keeps bitching Don't fuck with me I'm actually really faded So everything is touching me So stop fucking touching me I don't want your comfort Your drunken care We're just drunk right now You really don't fucking care And I just want to have fun Instead of fucking stare At all the couples kissing Each other just fucking tear Yourselves away When you're in front of me It's really rude to show PDA In a party And I had a crush on her Just last week She knew But she still kissed Him in front of me Just fuck what I'm saying [HOOK] [OUTRO: Vo-Kal] So lost I don't want to come back Maybe get stuck in a dream But no alarm to bring me back X3 So lost I don't want to come back I'll just take some of these And nothing'll bring me back http://genius.com/Vo-kal-blackout-lyrics

V-K! [VERSE 1: Vo-Kal] She wants someone that sings well I got that Danger and thrill To top that The sin from my lips To make her drop down And then pop that Just don't stop that When you bust it open A shy girl That's so used to hoping For a savior From her routine life To maximum exposure Someone to hold her Console her When times are rough But know her And show her That I know That she likes it rough Grip her up Just suck it up Punishment Don't fuck it up The pain is her pleasure But the pain is what will fuck her up Her skin is thick But her heart is thin And it's on her sleeve She gambling The stakes are high Just don't fall again She felt the ground But she won't again She'll hold it in And regret the past Regret her love And how it moved too fast That's when I come to To remove the last Conception of me She tried to pass As the real deal I ain't that cold My words are smooth But I'm way too old To be playing games And be passing notes Do you like me now Check yes or no To professional My confessional I don't live up To the rest of y'all You think V-K is Impressing y'all But that's just how I come off When I'm stressing y'all [HOOK: Vo-Kal] Already 4am You know how it goes Where do we go from here I'm too faded to know I'm just hoping when you leave You'll be saying my name Please remember my name You can call me V-K It's just one of those nights But you know my songs Please don't assume shit I'm already gone Just maybe by tomorrow You'll be saying my name Or be singing my name Please remember my name My name my name [VERSE 2: Vo-Kal] Look me in my eyes Baby tell me you don't lie a bit I'm trying get in your mind I'm trying see how tight those pants fit I'm lying now I can't sit And act like I'm Thirsty as fuck I know everyone else They just stare at your butt But me I want to examine your cuts The tears the tears The way you were broken down Cause me My hearts it's just swollen now And it just looks like I'm so close to slowing down But really it's code for more focus now So let's know this now Who would you like to fall for Love in the hands of gentle man Or lust in the clutch Of you trying to fuck Dance with devil In the Mercedes truck Out in the open Only stars can see us Bust your walls down And take all of it back The baggage the past Put it all in a stack Your past the baggage Take all of it back Cause I want all of you back I think you lost who coulda been And I forgot about who All those bitches could have been The late nights thinking Sinking feelings Spilling out my heart They tore me apart now I don't know how to start now Cause I'm falling apart now I only know you through Instagram pics You only know me From the verses I spit So I don't know where to start now My whole message is falling apart now Maybe your tumblr posts Shows who you really are And maybe I'm really just meant to be a star [HOOK]x2 [BRIDGE: Vo-Kal] She wants someone that sings well Well I can sing better with some shots in me Just close your eyes and rock with me Take it back Don't stop Just trust I sing well But it would sound better if it was for you I would do my best to spoil you Limited funds but they for you [VERSE 3: Vo-Kal] I know it's been a while I know that we never really talked But damn tonight your smile Is more than I ever could have thought Who would have thought That stars aligned Would bring us together here tonight Destiny is a strong word to throw around So let's just talk till it's right I'm a little drunk Ok I'm kinda faded But right now let's embrace the moment And forget the time that I waited The time that I wasted When it was you that was only in my sight Just grab my hand for tonight If it all ends embrace me into the light You cannot tell me this ain't right This chemistry is level AP Do my words come across as strong To stress everything that I see Everything that I mean Subconsciously Your in my dreams Add a dream girl to my dream whip And let's both forget reality I still sing well And I flow nice Let's not talk about my salary I'm not superficial Just better than most Self conscious Let's make a toast To a crazy night A more crazy life It's 4 am Let's say goodnight Cause you know nothing good happens after 2 I can't ruin this beautiful night with you http://genius.com/Vo-kal-v-k-lyrics

Shadows/ The Product of Fear [VERSE 1: Vo-Kal] Ok I'm buggin Why ain't she saying something I messaged her at 1am Should have never gave my number I knew it was too good To be true When she said to hit her up She was thinking friends Man I was thinking snuggle up Maybe something serious Maybe she curious Now I'm second guessing the signs That was there period Furious my rash decisions Got my trippin over bitches And I'm looking at these ones Not even into tipping strippers Now I'm a tight wad Holding on to money and these feelings Spilling my frustration out Incapable of even chillin But in my dream though She was there and feeling me But I don't know if i believe the dreams Or reality Or the fantasy That will never be Still trying to think about The situation rationally Or anything else actually Don't want to make no casualties Of innocent thoughts That's escaping my heart's natural reach [HOOK: Vo-Kal]x4 Lies, deceit Please give it to me I'm feeding off anger Your paranoia is me [VERSE 2: Vo-Kal] Let me live in the bliss Let me picture the kiss Let me think of all the things Without you there I would miss Fabrication is my friend now Who really needs some sanity Not living in the moment but But I'm living in my fantasy Let me close my eyes And be engulfed my dreams Sleep forever living happy No more sadness or fake screams False hope or hopes up Falling in a dope truck Plagued by my addictions All plagued no one to hold us Drowning in the madness Drowning in the sadness Drowning being hopeless Never getting past this Falling to my demise Yea you falling for my disguise No surprise that you sympathize When you claim that you empathize You really don't despise The goodbyes and the unwise Just be open minded To minds as they unwind So now I'm unkind to my kind My turn to pass it I'm falling forever Ever and I'm past it [HOOK]x10 [VERSE 3: Vo-Kal] When I look down I can't see the ground I only feel the wind I only feel the darkness The fear of the inevitable But yet I'm ready I've been here before and I'm ready I'm prepared but still Still I'm anxious Nothing can soothe the furious beating of my heart...

Forever Falling [INTRO: Vo-Kal] My shadow scared me I don't understand Cause it was dark out Maybe the shadows Are hiding everything I tried to mark out Inner demons Maybe my true self You say you see my goodness Tell my good bye bitch farewell Ones on the floor I ain't say that I was spending money But I got good friends And they entrepreneurs Throwing bills around Like the name Gates is funny You can stay or something I can't wait for nothing Bad bitches Giving good times In the back room Barely VIP Spilling out my heart With no IVs [VERSE 1: Vo-Kal] I don't have the patience To try and keep up with this fake shit So baby tell me what your name is So I can make sure I erase it From my memory These bitches just want to take away Everything I have to give a lover I'm drowning Trying to keep above the pressure of another I just don't want to feel the pain any more I thought I could fly but I just hit the floor So baby tell me what are you waiting for Waiting for [HOOK: Vo-Kal] You say you can save me I beg you not to do this You say you need me Girl stop acting foolish I can't be there for you When you hit the ground You can't trust me girl I'll just ignore the sound [VERSE 2: Vo-Kal] Now baby I don't have the faith in you Cause all these hoes are thotful And they paved the way for you And showed me just how awful But It's all I could imagine So strip it all and show me magic I'm thirsty for your touch I'm yearning for the way that you make me feel I'm just craving your kiss I'm longing for your tongue as it caresses my skin Slow motion Slow motion As you ride it out Don't want this time to end Baby show me what you're about Let's take this to the back Any price for you Just don't fall in love With the likes of me Cause I'll be gone as soon as we're through [HOOK] [Bridge: Vo-Kal] (BACKGROUND VOCALS): X3 You say you love me now it's too late I fell in love with girls that's too fake You say pure love is destined through fate But true lust and mistrust Is all they gave I wish I died the hero Cause I see myself becoming the villain I'm hardly sick Some party shit To drown out my feelings I miss the good times Drunk as fuck I miss the good time Two 40s of that OE Some whiskey shots And then I shined I need a beer bong To play beer pong Doing keg stands All year long Party life of some college kids But we skipped school For that party shit A year off That turned into four To never again Will I need to score An A+ We got grade A I've been lost in life Since my 6th grade [HOOK 2: Taylor Ryce] I know I can save you You begged me not to do this You know that I need you I'm not acting foolish Please I'll be there for you I won't hit the ground I'll trust you with my love Please don't ignore me now [BREAKDOWN: Vo-Kal] (I'll make you never love again) [HOOK] http://genius.com/Vo-kal-forever-falling-lyrics

Chamber of Lament [VERSE 1: Vo-Kal] Guilt tripping But I've been fallin for the wrong type And by the look up in your eyes You were right I'm now the wrong guy Once fucked over blame me They thought they could all tame me Bring the ocean tide in closer And realize I'm not the same me Monstrous I don't recognize Myself I'm cloaked in disguise To hide the pain Of past decisions Infatuations So shallow Just brought me down to the Gallows I hanged myself By being hung up on the bitches Swallow Your soul and steal your heart So now it's missing And now I'm missing The pieces of me worth representing Wish I held on from the beginning And I can't feel the pain or the pleasure I'm numb to the beauty, potential treasure, the happiness you could measure So I'm spilling out my heart to stripper named May Jane Maybe her ass is bigger than the weight that's on my brain But I can't assume some flimsy lust is gonna hold these ties Holding back my memories feeding myself some more lies And deceit [HOOK 1: Vo-Kal] Taking over my body I don't need your hope Taking over my soul I don't need your faith controlling All my inhibitions Just stay away from me I'll forever be free [VERSE 2: Vo-Kal] You say that you want me You say that you need me But I can't hear that shit no more Cause it taking me back now When I would believe you And I would fall for you once more But I don't want to see the changes Or who I've become Because now you're just an option To try and make me cum Cause bitch I do this often I've fallen for make up I've fallen for a-cups From grace that I've fallen This dance that I'm stalling To try and get ass in my face Pussy poppin' Cause I was what you needed Now I'm what you want I was the recipe Now I'm your last hope So baby grab hold Enjoy yourself Just know [HOOK 2: Vo-Kal] I don't need your love Taking over my body I don't need your hope Taking over my soul I don't need your faith controlling All my inhibitions Just stay away from me I'll forever be free [VERSE 3: Konvo] [HOOK 2] [VERSE 4: Almighty Karim] http://genius.com/Vo-kal-chamber-of-lament-lyrics

Astral Projection [VERSE 1: Vo-Kal] You don't Look at me like you used to And I Still remember what you used to say But now There is this distance between us Could you Just tell me that you love me And [HOOK: Vo-Kal] Can you Take me Away from Everything in my life Cause I fucked up on my last one All I want is You to Take me Away from Everything in my life Paralyzed by the pain of my soul And yearning for your hold [VERSE 2: Vo-Kal] Looking at the carpet From ground level again Still picking up the pieces From that last bitch's sins No excuses being made For the money that I spent But I just want some reimbursement For all the time that I lent Spending less time at home now More time with my friends that So called know me well But yet they ain't giving me no spins Getting drunk on the weekend Is some shit that I miss But if you only know me intoxicated Then please don't say shit No new friends No new women Not my choice It's new living Cause deep down I'm pretentious And I'm ok with Not having fucks to give But maybe I'm lonely And I'm still scared That little boy That loves to stay up And watch anime And fall asleep with his sonic toys I wasn't popular in school But I've blown up since graduation And now my heads gotten kinda big Wish I had grown up from graduation But I barely passed And they almost laughed Know they still will With no hesitation I'm a product of my environment Just guilty by association [HOOK] [VERSE 3: Vo-Kal] (Smoothing out the wrinkles so you can't think) My third eye is calcified Lusting over a fat ass Love life is Ned's Declassified Are you satisfied Like I'm really gonna change now The crazy thing is I've been the same Took a strangers words To reveal the shade Took the bitter truth To reveal my shame My character is in jeopardy My intentions and My expectations Are the only true things to carry me I mean damn Tell me what would my grandma think If I told her I was strip clubs Cause Drake made it cool to show strippers love So made it rain But that's not the answer I use lust as a cover up I'm scared commitment won't work out I'm scared my talent will ruin us I'm scared that every bad bitch That wants to make a name Will come after me And throw that pussy oh so well And I lose it all And I won't sell Cause I can't relate to myself no more I see myself and I can't ignore The blind truth Cause I'm blinded to Reality I'm falling through They trapped us all They trapped us all Don't want to lose myself cause they can't break us Sewn inside of a walrus suit I just don't want to become Wallace from "Tusk" [HOOK]x2 [VERSE 4: Vo-Kal] Austyn, Stephanie Ellen, Erin Gabriela, Emily Courtney, and Amanda I used to could barely stand you I had a simple crush With a little lust A little trust That we could be But I ain't enough Or at least I wasn't I seen it coming It was something I grew to expect I wasn't your type and you weren't mine You were so fine Blind to the fact That you helped me grow Heartbreak is so Freeing and so natural It took me years to appreciate All the pain you brought and didn't know I don't blame you I respect you now And for all the guys that you've turned down It was meant to be for self growth Self expression Where the hell would I be without those lessons So God put music inside my soul To heal my heart To help me know To help show me That I don't need help Or confirmation That I'm just me Still underground so sleep on me I can believe in myself Without hypnosis I'm Spider-Man fresh out the black suit My detractors and I have a symbiosis I've grown a little I experienced things Learned to create I've learned how to sing My psychosis might be to change the world But now my passion has become my neurosis http://genius.com/Vo-kal-astral-projection-lyrics

Neurosis [KanYe West Excerpt] [VERSE 1: Vo-Kal] Please curse me cause I strive for something better I'm done settling for less I want a bad bitch Maybe a tattoo of an owl on her chest When we together Know she fucking with the best All knowing Wisdom is in her fingertips But her nails are always painted Light make up But the eyeliner's wing tipped Under appreciated painting She steals men's souls At the promise of some gold Cause we all slaves to the same gains Same pains We growing not knowing How to achieve happiness But we all stuck in the same lanes We should complain Instead of comply Your words do offend If you try to imply That my words don't suspend What is believed as a conversation Art should be a medication Why should you spend all of your time To fill a regulation Of what's prescribed as success Fuck your goals I'm just trying to be the best Based off of What I know of myself I do it all by myself Cause I grew tired of waiting For somebody else's help So what I represent now Is for everyone ignoring me Fall asleep on the couch Waiting for my story See the desperation in my eyes I keep em on the prize While passion is rubbing my head Keeping the demons in disguise [HOOK: Vo-Kal] (Oh I'm afraid that she knows)x9 I'll take you away from this hunger I'll take you away from this pain Beware that I may take you under This is one ocean you can't tame Now you don't feel the pain inside your soul anymore I'll take you far away I'll push my passion till it's sold out I speak my heart and write my pain and all my soul out I'll never sail out I'll only sail out Onto the ocean To get lost I'll never bail out [VERSE 2: Vo-Kal] It's just me Sterling, Bam, Karim Standing in the middle With our backs to the center Cause we don't trust Anybody to come in between What we've established as our team Ain't break in the seams I keep having nightmares of my dreams I keep having nightmares of present day But I'm stuck back in school Nightmares that I'm swallowed by a tidal wave I see it coming but it crashes through the windows And you I see you running And you get away Like you secretly control the waves It never fails just can't make out your face And saltwater is all that I taste We can't be saved And I don't want to close my eyes no more Cause I'm afraid of the person that you take me for We can assume and pretend to not be fake no more But when you're alone with your thoughts There ain't no safety horn Like space they can't hear you scream Until it's took late That's just how it seems Just give me my fucking space So I can have my dreams And they're are golden With platinum seams But where's the silver lining If I'm controlled and consumed by my greed If beautiful women and music is all that I need When I close my eyes I can't control what I see Until my eyes refuse to open seeing permanently [HOOK] [Kevin Smith Excerpt] [HOOK SHORTENED] [VERSE 3: Vo-Kal] After the night in the bathroom stall You don't want to even answer my calls Unless you need some material gain Misusing who were to get to an ethereal plain It's plain to see you been abusing your influence Substance overusing Constant double d over viewing Trying to justify but never analyze Choosing a muse that could bruise the common Man's ego spilling the blues out Cruising on the past pain In the fast lane Becoming what you tried to prevent Yet you vent of consequence That gave you sense to never be there in the first place But that's the first taste And this the worst case After the ocean's tamed The choice is right in your face Will you grow and become the man Of which you're destined Or fall into temptation And watch the sea wash over your face (Watch over your faith) [HOOK SHORTENED] http://genius.com/Vo-kal-neurosis-lyrics

Trying to prevent yourself from growing up is as futile as trying to tame the ocean...
