Digital Damage

I uploaded my picture
Just to see what it felt like
A digital fixture
In a world that seems so life like
So I type
The way I feel inside that makes me wanna fight
And I try
To not mistake love with anything that might feel like hype
A roll of the dice
I roll up the pain
Took many chances
Wasn’t left unscathed
I bled like rain
That washes anew
That feeds the growth and so I grew
It’s always pleasure I pursue
Im a flower
Turned out blue
I watched the world
Open up for other people
Like they knew
How to place themselves so natural
Trust I tried
Cause aren’t you supposed to be where you belong
Didn’t take long to get that I just wasn’t
Why it feel so cold
Baby don't you wanna be alone
Things are meant to be that way
Don't you think it's gotta change
I open up
But never whole
I don't remember
I'm getting old
Or are they memories so repressed
A heavy pain that you confess
I tore it down to ease the pressure
Try to cure, we're taking measures
I am tall and I am grand
I don’t think you understand
I’m so real that I'm surreal
And I cry cause I can feel
I scream so I can heal
They pray so they can cope
In the end we go in smoke and our emotions what a joke
The funniest one of all you know the one that pushes us to bawl
And roll across the floor laughing, tears are pouring down our cheeks
They hurt so much from smiling you can feel it, for weeks
The best laugh you’ve ever had
Staggeringly sad
Because it was so present but you know it’s never coming back
I watched the world
Open up for other people
Like they knew
How to place themselves so natural
Trust I tried
Cause aren’t you supposed to be where you belong
Didn’t take long to get that I just wasn’t
Why it feel so cold
Baby don't you wanna be alone
Things are meant to be that way
Don't you think it's gotta change

I delegate many things
And I never feel adequate
Impostor in action
My self esteem I decimate
Wish I could do it all, instead I pick the right people to do it
Their talent my vision
Me, in a broken television
Courage and strength and wisdom
Give me a tap, give me just one reason
Give me a fact, tell me I’ll break free, this prison
Hardest thing to skew my vision
Ingrained in me is I
I feel so free when I
Don't think about the shitty things I’ve done and realize
I got everything I wanted
I hit the jackpot
But when you achieve something you invent another slot to fulfill
Mines never been to make my first mill
Note the first cause for sure there’ll be more then one still
Cause I’m a warrior
I am strong
Undefeated
In life I do belong
Let me get rid of some pain through the weight lifted
And when you dream know you’re never wrong
I don’t wanna cry no more
These feelings I get are hard to ignore
Every few days it creeps up on me and it's so strong It can fold me to the floor
When I call in sick we both know that it’s mental
Say what you will but don't say that i'm fragile
I can stand on my own two feet
When you’ve been broken you can’t be weak
Try to make them feel like they might survive
But who the fuck am I to judge
Who am I
No who are you
Who am I
No who are you
Try to make them feel like they might survive
But who the fuck am i to judge
Who am I
No who are you
Who am I
No who are you
Walk in a straight line you might feel like you’ve won
Balanced wisdom na you don’t give a bum
I meant a fuck, a fuck about a bum
In your own boxed shit, we never try to run
He can’t eat, she can’t sleep
She got no walls or roof
Let’s all agree, that’s not something that you choose
We can flex, addicted to the juice
Fuck the fame, don't give me no excuse
Take it, need it, I don't want it
Chronic, promise, honest, fuck it
I don't need to try
I know I don’t wanna die
When i sing my throat be dry
When it breaks I say goodbye
Common, drama, mama, trauma
Blanca soy yo pero I don't fit señora
Cross my fingers, Hope for mi vida entera
No choice either way, que no sea un dilemma
What is right has never been so wrong
These are the facts now try to enjoy the song
I’m not religious but I do believe in god
If it’s too serious that it’s fucking up your vibe
Then press the spacebar and get the fuck up
Put your coat on and get outside smell the flowers if there’s any left on your block
Take your phone and throw it on the ground
Step on it, crush it to pieces, chalk chalk
What is up, what is down
I don't care, got a crown
What you think, what you feel
Can you try, just be real
It hurts but you got this
I feel you, I can’t quit
They didn’t fuck with me then
They won’t fuck with me now
Try to make them feel like they might survive
But who the fuck am I to judge
Who am I
No who are you
Who am I
No who are you
Try to make them feel like they might survive
But who the fuck am i to judge
Who am I
No who are you
Who am I
No who are you

Plaster :)

(VERSE 1)
I’m streaming, dreaming on the border of consciousness
I know that time is passing me
I'm hoping that i'll understand the way we are is taught and not how we should be
It’s mesmerizing when you think
It’s underwhelming when you speak
A tic tac toe, simon said so, game over when you go to sleep
I think we all clowns
All around
Everyone knows that we dumb down
Our feelings are pointless but beautiful nameless flowers we couldn’t keep
When I hold you inside of my heart it's in hoping you'll sweep me right off my feet
Illusions come true and if that’s what you want I can promise we'll never sleep
(CHORUS)
Tell us what it is that you’ve been yearning
Missing deep inside of you like someone told you you weren’t good
Enough is enough show me where you’re hurting
Put a plaster, kiss it better, tell your mother, run for cover
(VERSE 2)
Frost accumulates on my window sill
I just wanna stay
I Watch the leaves, they fall, then comes the snow
Wanna make it another day
Happy to see you and see the sun
I know my daddy wished I was a son
Odd what you remember when you're young
Then a huge gap, then more memories, then you're done
Same songs still play on the radio
Turn it up, turn it a little more
Ambition got you knocking on every door
Ambition got you knocking on every door
Tell me what is wrong
But don’t tell me all
Gotta keep some for your shoulders to fall
Chin up
But your mind on the ground
Grounded
Less likely to fall
(CHORUS)
Tell us what it is that you’ve been yearning
Missing deep inside of you like someone told you you weren’t good
Enough is enough show me where you’re hurting
Put a plaster, kiss it better, tell your mother, run for cover

Crazy

Said I am down to roll
I’ve changed my mind
I'm not a girl
I said oh not
Right now
The things we say we do but don’t
It's nothing new but still I wonder why, oh why
I can’t deny that I rely on old ideas that were never mine
See I can’t lie there’s something off look through my eyes,
Light has faded
There ain't nothing alive that can be something else then what it really is
I can try to pretend, try hard not to offend, but I won’t really grow
I am crazy
I am crazy
Said I have never lost
Control
But I’m not me,
in fact it's just a role
I'm playing
I act the way
I think I should
It's nothing new but still I wonder why, oh why
Obviously, i'm losing it, I’m overthinking everything I’ve known
See we’re so small but feel so big and infinite
But light has faded
There ain't nothing alive that can be something else then what it really is
I can try to pretend, try hard not to offend, but I won’t really grow
I am crazy
I am crazy
There’s something that must be in the way
It’s not letting me be okay
Remember the warmth of her hand
And the smell of pink mints
I get sick with distance
Oh let me be myself
I don't know how to ask for help
Oh what a world this is
I'm still that same kid
I am crazy
I am crazy

Triple Exes

If you’re alive
Then I am obliged
To say hi
I was okay
But you were always in the back of my mind
Every drunk I’ve met was not a stranger at all
I haven’t missed you
Hyper and an addict
Rolling with the baddest
Got no friends
Always rolling up the fattest
I know him telling me that I'm a bad bitch
He believed in me before you was born
Alternate reality I watch porn
Triple x’s with a dash
I pop corn
Corny ass rhymes for you corny ass bros
I'm all bare even when I wear clothes
Naked babe
Yes at least you tried
Said watch yourself
You're almost 25
Damn time flies
I don't mind
Got these moments in my mind
I am lying
It ain’t fine
Just too deep for me to climb out
Climb out Climb out
Climb out
Climb out Climb out
Climb out
I don’t know if you know this but I cared about you a lot
But you hurt me a lot a lot
Seeing you on the ground in the parking lot
Like what the fuck is it gonna take for you to stop and break
There isn’t a bottle big enough for you to take
It was fun and now it’s not
Every single time we fought
You'd have to win at any cost
I hate you say you're lost cause we both know we found you
You just hated what you saw, can’t stand me right around you
I remind you of the parts that you hate the most
Act like you've seen a ghost
You're just drowning in the wine like you’ve been lost at sea
A lifeless body in a body of water surrounding me
Now i'm the one who can’t breathe
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
I don’t care about tomorrow
Good don’t mean you get rewarded
Fickle, fickle fireball
What matters most is how you fall
Shit I think you're coming down
In no time now you’ll hit the ground
Hit the ground
You’ll hit the ground
Hit the ground
Damn time flies
I don't mind
Got these moments in my mind
I am lying
It aint fine
Just too deep for me to climb out
Climb out Climb out
Climb out
Climb out Climb out
Climb out
