Equilibrium - Angel Eyes lyrics

Try to find a place in lines that I embrace While I strive to find a balance between a time and space In a microphone.. When I'm soundin' intense I feel like 'Pac on his hospital bed, countin' his breaths And they still say, Ill never blow on the mic Unless I spit a gimmick with some clever jokes cus I'm white Im forced to listen to critics just chatter they teeth With all their bullsh** opinions like it matters to me And my closest friends stumble as they mumble and doubt me While I try to hold the world as it crumbles around me Feel my lungs close, strain harder for breaths As the broken dreams I have match the heart in my chest And the pressure builds But without a release I know that ya hope floats, but its out of my reach I'm tired of the masks that we wear (if only) You saw my true self you'd be scared (to know me) But now I finally see what I love is worthless Beauty's skin deep, but its just a surface My shoulders are breaking and my focus is hazy Plus my teeth are chipped from biting all the bullets that you gave me In the form of lies, and I mistook it as honest Took the good with the losses, til the good was just lost, its Hard to hold the burdens until my shoulders bleed I was forced to flee, until I learned to fly with broken wings Across the visions of feelin's and all this violent livin' Of a f**ed up system insistin' that I should try to fit in But now I can see I'm unrelated to you Cus I took off the mask that suffocated the truth (If Life) could even worsen, (Then Id) release my burden (And try) to be the person, (Who writes) and speaks in perfect (Advice) for people hurtin', (Who cries) and fiends for nursing (And time) would be a**erted, (To find) a decent purpose (But I) am weak and burdened, (I cry) and seek alertness (In life) to be the person, (Who's lines) are seen as perfect (I try) and seem so nervous, (That life) has demons lurkin' (That I) defeat the purpose, (And Life) is seen as worthless Watch everyday just pa** me by Slowly corroding and acting fine Suffocating on this mask of mine Til I run out of breath and I can't survive Repeat x2 Through my angel eyes I see the devil's truth Through my angel eyes I see the devil's truth Through my angel eyes I see the devil's truth Through my angel eyes I see (Repeat x 4) I need to get a piece of inhibition (First!) And speak another piece of bitter vision (Words!) And get a better syndicate of vindicated few And I better never let another mitigate the truth Cus I'm the better, never get a flow with flaw Better with the letters, veteran know it all Talk a lot in a song, better hold em off I thought I was lost, never fold or fall If I could ever get a minute trying to be My life independent when I'm dying in peace I might get a sentiment I write to a beat My mind of a veteran, trying to see That life's beautiful, suitable to let go Of anything and Ill just survive through it all Inner lines intertwined, my mind is livin' life Grippin' mics, livin' life in trife its live and die
