Hellish Bent
01:09

Emptiness is felt not as a burden, as a punishment
Throw away my days to try to figure what the relic meant
I spew out toxic feelings that could probably use embellishment
Bitterness and frustration and it's always with a hellish bent
Just wish I could cut away that thick fat layer of contempt in your character
She says I embarrass her
Today I'm in Paris
Tomorrow who knows
Sway in the wind in an empty gallows
I just got chose
I never did choose it
Always knew I wanted me to make music
Is it amusing?
The way that I'm flailing?
If you didn't know me you'd think that I'm failing

Formaldehyde

Lately I been feeling like a formless hide
Tie me up then kiss me and then dunk me in formaldehyde
You pounced like a playful wicked fox and I couldn't hide
Saw you coming but I still kept my usual stride
Had me in a death grip soon as you said I had nice locks
And yes I said "fox" but it's not about *that* fox
It's not about that one either
Just stick your head in the heater
And then you'll understand
I could never be a perfect man
I don't do oxymorons
But I do cocky morons
Or cocky morons do me
The last girl that blew me
Was the last girl I blew, it's called equal exchange
If I say that I'm trans they'll ask about a sex change
My family is just like that
And they hate me cause I fight back
Couldn't sleep on the flight back
Too haunted by all the nights that
I slept above all of them and I couldn't sleep
Something's haunting this family and it might be me
Couldn't see it before but now it's clear to me
I almost grasped at it on Fear Of Me
Tom and Jerry on the train tracks
You only like me when my brain's wracked
You'll probably say this is the best track
You're a leech, give me my pain back

I Just Wanna Live!

I don't play for a team but I don't play about community
Bitches didn't bully me they think they got immunity
Taking over everything, I do it with impunity
I do what I want cause I'm never not gon get scrutiny
A little plus a little sometimes may be a lot
The reason that you're stuck sometimes may be a knot
If you give a dog a boner she can do a lot of things
I'd rather [] and then later give my apologies
A part of me thinks that I'm wrong but she's a little bitch
I'm trans, I'm supposed to be found in a few years in a ditch
Tough luck though cause I'm not dying
My greatest weakness is that I'm not crying
I'm trying to-
I don't know, something
That's all I aim for, you know? Something
Cause everybody always told me I'm gonna be nothing
If I don't be what they want which to me is same as nothing
Nothing else worth discussing
They wanted me to be like them but I think that's disgusting

Appel Du Vide
01:07
|

Pourquoi le vide m'appelle? Je lui ai pas donné mon numéro
J'vais bien mais j'aimerais que mes potes gagnent des chèques avec quatre zéros
Pour le spleen, y'a pas d'antidote y'a pas d'sérum
Manque d'estime, j'rature mes textes ils sont pas assez beaux
Parano je sais que le diable me guette depuis les gazebos
Depuis qu'j'suis devenu qui j'voulais, ironique je sors plus trop
Ils m'ont dit d'aller m'faire voir mais au final j'ai pas voulu
J'parle plus trop à ma grand mère, j'sais qu'elle me voit comme un vendu
Quoi qu'je fasse
J'écris des bribes par çi par là et puis j'me lasse
J'allais le faire avant hier mais putain le temps se tasse
Je deviens c'que j'haïssais je t'avoue que c'est pas classe
Bientôt le renouveau, ça sent le petrichor
J'me rappelle y'a 14 ans j'matais Les Cités D'Or
J'voulais être Ésteban maintenant j'veux être la meuf
Mais j'peu même pas faire l'effort de mettre un pull neuf
J'me métamorphose trop, ils ont cru que j'étais Ovide
Je raccroche le téléphone parce que je nique le vide

Auto-Estime
01:27
|
|||
Ces jours çi j'fais que dalle à part mater des films
Mais j'ai pas le temps pour des connards qui manquent d'auto-estime
Okay t'es le boss mais c'est qui qu'tu vois dans l'miroir?
Tu contrôles bien tes gosses mais c'est quoi qu't'as planqué dans l'tiroir?
On a tous dit qu'on été surpris mais en vrai j'aurai dû l'voir
J'ai des crocs maintenant donc ouais mon gars j'broie plus l'noir
J'sors avec mes vielles Vans, un vide, et un pull noir
J'essore mes pensées avec une instru
Après j'y pense plus
J'ai pas encore mis le beat, pourquoi danses-tu?
J'ai pas dis qu'y aurait une suite, pourquoi attends-tu?
Mois j'vous aimais tous à la base, j'aimerais le rappeler
Comment tu pousses un gamin après tu t'demandes qu'est ce qui l'a fait déraper?
"Il courrait comme un lapin, j'me suis vu obligé d'le frapper"
Ils m'appelaient tous un génie mais j'suis génie que sur le papier
J'suis pas venu pour des barres, est-ce que j'ai l'air de Christian Clavier?
Et puis t'sais quoi? J’m'arrête là, pas besoin d'écrire un pavé

I'm Sorry Pt. 4
03:03
|
|||
2 years down, 3 to go
I'm clearly an idiot and I should let it go
I was wrong, there wasn't that much blood in the snow
A little bit, but I'm insane too, I just don't let it show
As much
I should accept things as such
22 years old I can't use people as a crutch
Or be used as a crutch
Cumbersome morals made me lose my way
I double fell in love in a car on a highway
Frank Sinatra took Claude Francois' shit and said "imma do it my way"
I sampled him and Nougaro and flipped that shit the Maude way
Always did the right thing but always did it the wrong way
Always write the verse in a way where I can rhyme "Maude Fey"
On the trip to self acceptance I keep saying "are we there yet?"
Always been a kid, and always been an embarrassment
But it's embarrassing too that you can't be proud
Of a beautiful loser who loves and lives loud
It's hard to say shit cause it gets filtered through a shroud
Don't know how I would write if I was writing for a crowd
Monarch butterfly, metamorphosis no crown
I don't let it sink in cause I don't want it to drown
Maude the girl the boy the bear the god the bitch the hound
Boutta go in orbit so guess I'll see you around
I get angry, it happens a lot
I don't cry, I just choke on my snot
Twitter making me feel like I wasted my shot
Those bitches don't like [], think I gotta log off
I do musical vagueposting then wonder why I won't pop off
Ridiculous
Contemplated cutting all my locks off
Run away and change my name and loved ones leave them blocked all
Fetishizing a fresh start
As if I ain't the kid that fucked up like 4 fresh starts
One time I did an album that I closed with a pep talk
And all my friends just told me "listen don't quit your day job"
Telling
Gotta learn self love for real, my self loathing ain't selling
Mosquito bite, trite shite, plagued with all the swelling
If a tree falls down in a forest imma find who did the felling
Lots of stuff to say that I don't understand
Imma get it off my chest then I can hold your hand
Been a while since I wanted to be a better man
They sold me a lie and I clasped it with half a hand
So you can imagine when I found out that I could be who I wanted
Didn't take me long to look up to America's most wanted
Reasons for my actions went from tens of them to hundreds
Yet I still can't figure it out
I'm crippled with doubt
Mirror reflects a bad bitch, but is that me?
It seems that happy and fulfilled is shit I cannot be
They wanted me to be successful but man that's not me
Then wanted me in an asylum masked with therapy
Masked AS therapy
But when you hold me I see all the light we cannot see
And that's enough to keep me happy with a fantasy
I don't know, truthfully I just don't know
And if you push me then I just might fold
And your voice it sounds like silver but it's just not gold
And I know you think you've lost it but you're just not old
Silly

Let's take stock of what I've become
It's not that nice and it's not that fun
Press undo while I come undone
Press undo while I come undone
I still can't shake the prophecy you wrote
About how I'm supposed to fall off the boat
You're comfortable while I'm in smoke
It figures you would build a moat
After you got what you wanted
Everybody always got shit to say about how I live
At least I live
You know?
Had a sad vision of salvation
Then I woke up seeing more spots than a dalmatian
Gotta buy more foodstuffs
Gotta go out and do stuff
Gotta cut everybody off
Gotta block my family and stop taking calls
Let's take stock of what I've become
It's not that nice and it's not that fun
Press undo while I come undone
I'm not a son but I'm of a gun
Should I buy a gun?
I might buy a gun
