Abacus (Fire)
Written by: Completely Inadequate
Instrumental: “Fire" by Stucciano
[C.I.]
It’s not my fault - its all yours
It’s not my fault (well, of course)
Addicted to fast food
My gut biome seems to crave the Itis - I can’t move
Confessions of an asshole
Tidal wave to sand castle
This is boy vs manhood
Corporations sell us joy in a canned good
Erase the memories and I’ll be fine
There's beauty in a spotless mind
My eternal sunshine
What’s said has been said
but you haven’t said much
While I’m waiting for answers
and biting my tongue
lying through my teeth: "I don’t mind at all"
no mind at all, my wiring's off, id controls the calls
The muscle memory's so comforting
overthinking every mishap until I'm suffering
Hypocrites - I can see through the lie
Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die
From Abacus to Watson
You can play the hero and I'll be playing possum
You can pick the flower I'd rather wait for blossom
and You can see the pollen while all I see are toxins
Swan dive into the pavement
Cried wolf so many times they probably think I'm faking
Should I try and fuck it or just let it be?
What's wrong with Inadequate, he's so finicky
Feeling fake - astrology
Every time I wannabe -
Honest, it's a novelty -
Shaken I feel wobbly -
Conscious or subconsciously -
I stay within the probably’s -
Till I propose and option 3 -
Cuz 2 and 1 are not for me
Never thought I’d make it this far
or at least that I wouldn’t be so pissed off
I'm atlas with all this weight upon
all I want is live, and they just want me to throw the apron on
It’s easy
To live life so routinely
Smoke too much I’m wheezing
Born rich? That’s just cheating
So tell me, do you even even want me at all?
Cuz I think my cold shoulders would need the time to thaw
This manic's so uninteresting
The drive that’s full inside my skull needs partitioning
There's just too many moving parts
Is he counterfeit or a counterpart?
Hold a grudge like I hold the mic
I will never let it go, yeah just to spite,
Your grass looker much greener from my lawn
Put a bullet in my brain and poof we are gone
well, to me you are though
won’t see tomorrow
just a piece of cargo
Can I be really just a barcode?
I can’t seem to find my soul,
I must of misplaced it -
where
did
it
go?
Is this really who I wanna be?
I swear I could make it better with a time machine
So it’s true that I’m never not myself
So I’ll astroproject & wish my body farewell
It’s not my fault - its all yours
It’s not my fault (well, of course)
[no I don't need your help at all]
[of course I need your help well, duh]

Bleak (1994 w/ Santi)
Written by: Completely Inadequate (feat.. Social Misfit)
Instrumental: “1994" by Stucciano
[C.I & S.M]
& if you don’t wanna stay round bleak energy
Seldomly your forced to face you’re real enemies
Everything is not okay & it's never gonna be
Scarily you’ll probably never ever ever gonna breath
Tell us how you love to steal
Tell us how you really feel
[C.I.]
I don’t feel much of me
this man behind the mirror cares too much about money.
So which pill should I take?
I stole and took em both in fear that I’d be making a mistake.
always to blame,
frown on my face,
running in place,
I messed up, can we do another take?
asking the director for directions
looking up and there’s nobody here that I can question
or at least he doesn’t answer
you can come find me in a rut throwing tantrums
This is switchblade versus handgun
Come and watch me miss every single fucking shot - and 1
not a ghost, just a human under sheets
with a few holes poked through just so I can breathe
other than that you catch me being bleak
tie a couple rocks around my ankles - come and help me sink
[S.M.]
I feel numb, dumb, young, full of completely 5 strong pounds of rum,
I feel stun, strung over a dung, I'm in a funk
I feel stunk, like if life fucked a skunk, fuck I'm dunk,
or have I spun, someone stand me up.
I'm on my mom's lawn, and it's dawn, or is it dusk?
My phones at the pawn, conned, lobbed and musked
Ellon... damn, or is it Ellen?
Misfit braved it, through an intersection
Missed his exit, out gripped his action and
shitty presents, and fixed arrangements
of forced arrangements, and hits his precious
Christmas presents, yo my dude Misfit blessed it.
[C.I & S.M]
& if you don’t wanna stay round bleak energy
Seldomly your forced to face you’re real enemies
Everything is not okay & it's never gonna be
Scarily you’ll probably never ever ever gonna breath
Tell us how you love to steal
Tell us how you really feel

Carnie (Fu-Gee-La)
Written by Completely Inadequate w/ O (of L.N.O)
Instrumental: “Fu-Gee-La” by Salaam Remi
[C.I]
Let the carnival begin
Let the carnivore sink his teeth in
Welcome all the bearded ladies and Siamese twins
I see a Ferris wheel, hop inside the carousel?,
"Tilt-a-Hurl", bumper cars? This place is unparalleled.
humans sinning for fun, yeah this must be hell
live it well, life on earth, the only one we get to feel
or maybe not, maybe I'll reincarnate
"Evil Con Carne", no fun in your par-lay
yeah... Who are we?
it’s Completely Inadequate
Half a Russian circus bear
half an evil scientist
This place is "Grim & Evil"
gargoyle on cathedral
I'm stuck, expecting too much, from you silly people
On my knees, looking up, asking why
Like the rent in Miami,
I'm just too damn high
one screw loose from fine
intrinsic cynic by design
yet ask me how I'm doing and I'll just tend to lie
What's the score?
Zero - Zero there’s no winning team
And when you cry
“Hero - Hero” - you'll see there's no such thing
Just other human beings
Who take it upon themselves
To rid the world of evil
despite the easiness of hell
Slippery slope
and I tend to provoke
even though I'm the one that told you to leave me alone
That was to… spark a response
and it seemed to work well
so where is your god's forgiveness for all the angels that fell?
All the Angels like you and all the Fallen like me
Humans with demons that seem to sin willfully
They say “we all get a chance at heaven”, yeah, don't we?
Or do we decompose in the earth for all eternity?
[O (of L.N.O)]
Adequate for the game
coming equipped with a skill better known as O he's insane
I could fit your brain in a shoe box
moon rocks I stuff em in my tube socks
"Who shot Tupac?" documentary on
I brought the oowop , stuffed it in a carry on
Neon backpack
In the back stacking chips like
we on racks packed.
That's tacky take it the donation
Everyone around me is on probation
I've been really patient
chilling in my space ship
Feeling kinda anxious
In an unknown location
I stay connected like the Like the Zoe nation
so at least I'm at peace knowing I won't get back stabbed,
Rappers in mad drag,
In a dress and a matching, knapsack?
you got pussy on ya snap back
Homie....
To be honest ain't nobody that's beyond us
And to be amongst me boy you better just be solace...
I don't even know what prom is
but I do know what promises are
And as long as this art
stays alive through a bar.
And I know in the heart
in my heart that I shoot like a star
As I zoom like a car
Give me room if we spar
In your tomb by tomorrow
Wake up! if you have an idea
The blueprints right here but this ain't IKEA
I see the light but this ain't the end
Coming at you like an alien...
[I'm an alien again]
[C.I]
I’m an alien again
feeling alien again
is there anyway that I can a new pair of skin?
alien again
feeling alien again
I don’t know how to act- I’m abducting your friends.
alien again
feeling alien again
why is everybody starting when I’m just trying to live?
alien again
feeling alien again
NEVER NOT YOU - you’re lucky to exist.

Pseudoscience (Nightfall)
Written by Completely Inadequate
Instrumental: “Nightfall” by ThoVoBeatz
[C.I.]
Co-depend, co-depend
that depends
on the end
where's the zen
I've run out
lost my mind:
Tom Cruise - Oprah's couch
the proof is in the science
or the -tology?
something doesn’t seem to be working here properly
I used to work with a girl her name was Marlene
When I worked for starbucks around 18
She was so nice, or so it seemed
but you can tell in her eyes that she wasn’t getting any sleep
invited out for drinks, with co workers but she thinks
that she'd rather pass // she believes all drugs are bad
never mentioned family
what did mother think of daughter
never mentioned hard times
shipped off to Clearwater
well..
she told us Orlando
things then got "canceled"
and had to stay longer than she really planned to
as soon as she got back
she was shipped straight to Cali
never heard about Marlene
despite constantly asking
could never really find out how she was doing
all they’d really say was that “she was happy she was moving"
yet her phone number changed and her facebook erased
now there's really no more trace of that person in this place
All of a sudden of her co workers stopped showing up
And not cuz all the free drinks stopped showing up
Now come to think of it stop all the probably’s
Am I being CLEAR enough?, Do I need some AUDITING?
pseudoscience.

To Little (or no) Avail (Slow To Get Up)
Written by: Completely Inadequate
Instrumental: “Slow To Get Up“ by Reanimator
[C.I.]
It's the-
nervous twitches,
never been too superstitious
but the brain is powerful, could I conjure up some apparitions?
The ugly truth is, to think you know is foolish
and the ignorance is blissful anyways, it’s so confusing
How strong can I be?
If I let the voices in my head control me?
I'm an imitator
Hades hailer
Oil pen and vapor
smoking gun, just for fun, I need an inhaler,
so save all your prayers, I need some more action
without some hard work there is no satisfaction
You see, The older me should be so disappointed
held my ear to seashells but I never heard descriptive noises
Crooked smile
Crooked spine
Crooked human
w/ a Crooked knife
how many Crooked frames to get it right?
and now, AI controls my choices
but I let the Trojan horse inside my veins so I barley notice
Thanks but no thanks
What's life with no angst
What's life with no pain
I shoot for the stars - but only blanks
Take your sweet time, rotten apple of my eye
Balanced on my head, time to let the arrow fly
C.I. & what of it?
Catch me flipping burgers at your local Chum Bucket
Low life with high goals
It speeds up as time goes
I am nothing - I know
Sun does a lap and I still don't grow.

Counterfeit (Ain't Tripping)
Written by Completely Inadequate
Instrumental: “Ain't Tripping" by JohnXProd
[C.I.]
Nothings how it used to be
and I’m feeling like a eulogy
Dead spirit in a human being
poltergeist might even seem
nice, let em in to sleep tight
“just count sheep bitch,
trust me it’ll end quick"
every year it gets faster
‘less you hear this after I’m gone -
- everlasting thoughts engraved in a song
But now it’s so long
It was me all along
placing blame where I shouldn’t be
promises that I shouldn’t keep
just to not be alone, let me go.
Let me know, how you are
Better yet, forget that part
Never thought a heart could just shatter apart —
and then still see the cracks after gluing it back —
yeah yet none of that matters a matter of fact
Counterfeit — count the fits
running to crawl
full-speed to a stall
no need for this head of mine, rip it right off
no need for this head of mine, rip it right off
no need for this
Counterfeit — count the fits
running to crawl
full-speed to a halt
no need for this head of mine, rip it right off
no need for this head of mine, rip it right off
no need for this…
Stuck on attack there’s no time to defend
and i ruined the story by skipping to end
looking around, where are all of my friends?
and I know that you read since the messages sent
but you keep on ignoring, forget i exist
Forgot I am myth, this is all in my head
Can I take of the lenses that say I’m not dead?
Cuz this simulation is just making me sick
Making me itch, the parasites won
they called it a cinch, my biome is done
clocks always tick, whens the right time to run?
There's too many to pick, have I made the right one?
Probably not — no probable cause
Horribly lost — unthinkable odds
Think and a pause — no need for applause
This mask I got on is just shutting my jaw
Counterfeit — count the fits
running to crawl
full-speed to a stall
no need for this head of mine, rip it right off
no need for this head of mine, rip it right off
no need for this
Counterfeit — count the fits
running to crawl
full-speed to a halt
no need for this head of mine, rip it right off
no need for this head of mine, rip it right off
no need for this…
Stuck on the fence, there's no time for defense
and I worry ‘bout something till it never ends
and it haunts and it screams, its a ghost inside me
its regret that floats in and then out of my dreams
I can’t budge, I won’t move
and it flows and consumes
all the thoughts I thought I had control of to choose
I guess I thought all wrong — since the timings all off
I am not the person that you thought that I was.
Counterfeit.

Paopu Fruit (Don't Kill My Vibe)
Written by Completely Inadequate w/ Jay Blazer
Instrumental: “Don’t Kill My Vibe" by Yondo
[C.I.]
& I don’t really understand
why you act the way you do
given the circumstance
so where’s that big guy, upstairs
the one you yap about but pretends that he can’t hear
Haven’t got my prayers? no worries I’m right here
in between the long days and all the fucking nightmares
In between the struggle: pay rent and save up
religions all the same, different words, yet the same stuff
I’m just Sora, looking for his Kairi
Each bar’s another entry in my lil' diary
white lies becoming more ivory
Can you open up my head, my mind needs some rewiring
oh wow, what a silly millennial
complaining “half empty “ when it’s barley even full
I love to talk shit, got a mouth full of bowels
Acting like I’m trying when I already threw in the towel
more than an urge if I still carrying the torch
and I’m screaming at myself, till my voice is hoarse
back and then forth ... with miraculous force
I'm tired of course ... from that 9 hour chore
I try to work more ... to built up a support
at the end of the day ... whats it really all for?
don’t really know, but you’ll act like you do
so I'm gonna go 'round simply acting like you
[J.B.]
But who the fuck are you kidding?
Got a new LazyBoy to go sit in
But you still on the counter in the kitchen
Staring at a sink full of empty dishes
so go ahead, throw a fit
tell me how much you're over it
and how scraping by - makes you cry
and all the problems zeros would fix
if it ain't the bare necessities, then sweating it ain't my style
so I'm acknowledging your anxieties and canceling them out with denial
Look, I know your nervous, shit me too
But I ain't no stranger to hardships
So if you must be Riku, then I'll follow you into the darkness
I'm straight up like Ars Arcanum
Back and forth like Sonic Blade
if you're ever down and need reviving
like King Mickey, I'm on the way.
Alright, Hold up, Hold up, Hold up
We can talk about this now that's fine
& I know you stressing over lack of money
But I'm more worried about lost time
& one accumulates over the other
but can't buy back that clock
the more you have, the more it's never enough
the greedy humans beings don't stop, don't you get it?
status don't make sense to you neither
and we both know that's quite true
keep acting like you know what you're doing
cuz Imma keep acting like you
don’t really know - act like you do
I'll go around - acting like you

Naysayer (Wouldn’t Get Far)
Written by: Completely Inadequate
Instrumental: “Wouldn’t Get Far" by Kanye West
[C.I.]
You wouldn’t get far
When you're thinking like do
yet acting like you don’t
what you really trying to prove?
I'm angry all the time,
and THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT
(seems to hold) my hands tight
as I reach for sunshine
the more I climb -
the more mountain I find
I’ve been searching for an avalanche to help me break this bind
outta time
outta line
outta space
outta mind
I’m out here trying to find
the pieces that I left behind
its peace until its fight
Attack or do you flight?
I'm up until I'm tight
was it really worth the time?
I guess not
stuck In the same spots
staring up at ink blots
contradict my own thoughts
So catch me with eyes red as sith sabers
naysayer
In cahoots you lil’ traitor
spare me the “see ya later”
I'm barley in good behavior
& rarely not the complainer
Who's there? I sense invaders.
Can I leave? I’m becoming impatient
they won’t let me since I’m considered an in-patient
Let me go, release the straps, take me off your medicine
No I’m not what you think the state of my head was in
Please?
I need more air to breathe
more time to achieve
all these silly dumb dreams
Fill me up - it’s not enough
pick me up - I need a crutch
shut me up - I said too much
don’t pick up - I called your bluff
Obsessive
always way too sensitive
yelling at everyone even though there’s no sense in it
[you wouldn’t get far]
when your stuck in the past
yet acting like your present
no way to bring it back
& Those antidepressants
didn’t help, I felt a lack
a certain feeling that,
my presence wasn’t intact
is this me, or just placebo?
see the hell you see the people
see the high you see needle
need your help or am I see-through?
can’t tell, something isn’t adding up
I see fingers all in the way of me wanting to slam shut
The (only) one that gives a fuck
of course I fucking care
The only one that’s always stuck
and you’re not even here
Where?!
Did
You
Go?
Run
In
Circles
Never thought one misstep could be so hurtful
Undone - Undo
Who’s there? - Catch you-
searching for the meaning while I’m searching through the Hulu
searching through the wreckage is just something that I’m used to
And who knew
I’d realize it’s not mine and that’s fine
try and put it behind, wallowing is just a fucking [waste of time]
(and you know ...)

Letters Sent (Dear Summer)
Written by Completely Inadequate
Instrumental: “Dear Summer” by Just Blaze
[C.I.]
Dear KO,
Hows it go? how've you been,
wrote to say hello, and catch up with an old friend
so much since you slid - I don’t know what to say
it's much more impressive - if everything was great
But it's bittersweet, well isn’t everything?
I watched my grandfather pass
and I'm always going back
to the memories I have
possessions I can grab
taken back by the fact that I can not hear you laugh
Not anymore, when it rains it storms
and for the first time I saw that stranger pour
made out of stone, thought I would never get to see him cry
and the only thing that did it was he had to say goodbye
And now my dad just can't walk like he used to
diabetes caught up to us, who knew?
Last week he gave up driving, why?
cuz he crashed straight into a disabled parking sign
can't lift his legs up fast enough
his nerves won’t work like they used to
He can’t hold that steering wheel tight enough
he wishes he could just work like he used to
and I'm being selfish...
how is everything, I miss you
when you coming back to visit that's the only fucking issue
All my other friends seemed to bail on me
they don’t hit me up, not even sparingly
it's quite embarrassing
but hey-
I got a decent job
despite the odds
FIU off the clock
and I write when I'm not
So tell… Isis the dog - that I high five a paw - but don't act so appalled - when I switch back to Paul
but yo- just give me a call
when you can,
y’know I understand
how busy life can get
but please don't forget.
Sincerely yours,
Completely Inadequate.

Written by: Completely Inadequate
Instrumental: “Alice" by Flying Lotus
[C.I.]
I’m flowing - flying through the night sky
leaving my body - I’ll wave to it goodbye
Searching for a god in this sativa joint
you would think that would make me a little less annoyed
light the wick, burn the bridge, I'm the 17th android
running out of battery - feeling paranoid
Im part human - and im part cyborg
i prefer the matrix like whats real life even for?
cybernetic hell
phones: extension of ourselves
constant notifications: (of) course I’m overwhelmed
Eyes sewn shut, I wont wake for anything
Unless it’s my alarm clock
Fuck it - let it ring
Always tired, even in my dreams I take a nap
yeah I’ll give an arm but I’m quick to give it right back
a lil issue becomes eternally massive
When I come across a lil problem and quickly make it tragic
I don’t know how I’ll make it through this week
But for now let’s return to my body -
I need to sleep...
count sheep to shut my eyes
fall asleep to feel alive
entrapped, intertwined.
count sheep to shut my eyes
fall asleep to feel alive
let it be or let it bind
count sheep to shut my eyes
fall asleep to feel alive
Cage the bird or let it fly
count sheep to shut my eyes
fall asleep to feel alive
My mind keeps me up at night

Hypnic Jerk (Birdboy Day 1.5)
Written by: Completely Inadequate w/ Flow Suede
Instrumental: “Birdboy day 1.5" by Serge Crown
[C.I.]
the sun beams through
my eyes open to
a white sky, blocking blue,
silent / beautiful
this happens every morning
am I dead or still alive,
caught in a dream but will never realize?
stuck in a loop, tempted to jump
running from you, thought it'd be fun
stuck in a funk, emotional runt
I'm on a treadmill while I’m running amuck
someone pinch me, this can not be real
why does my skin feel like something I can peel
heavy headed, I cant ever seem to lift my spirits
maybe the seance really worked and wasn’t just a gimmick
scriptures hidden in the inside of my timid lil mind
even though I do it's bidding - I put up a decent fight
I wanna to fly away - how high must I have to be?
until a hypnic jerk slams me back to reality
I can not seem to budge, can this really be sleep paralysis?
holding grudges long enough for me to form calluses
Kicking and screaming - I must be asleep
Seeing a demon - does he notice me?
feeling defeated - quite the breathing
I’m trying my hardest to not make a peep
I know that you know that just know that I know that
Play dead till they kill me and ripping the toe tag
they tell me take Prozac, I'd rather smoke joint wraps
which keeps me from dreaming & REM sleep, I might crash
Stuck in limbo
Pinch my ego
Every time I compare myself to other people
The Alarm Clock rings
I Haven’t moved and inch
Will I ever wake up from my own imprisonment?
-[C.I.]
[F.S.]
I see me running,
I can feel it coming,
till I trip on something
then I wake to nothing.
Hypnic Jerk took away my visions,
yes it hurts when I meet collision.
My dreams are a composition of what’s real and tradition.
You love this life I live this life,
you want this life just be alive
and realize the inner eye.
See sinners die, but so will I,
so am I enough to point out lies?
I'm sorry If disappointment just pointed,
I’m sorry if disagreement just screamed it.
Know I mean it, when I said I would go back,
but see looking back I see it was just a dream.
Lost in a melody, Pellucid Dreams was able to shift my mind so calmly.
But now I feel it, Hypnic Jerk, I see him, see it hurts so deeply but I wake so easy.
Mind so greasy, sounds so creepy, visions streaky, I’m so sleepy, dreams are witty,
wake me up, too much sleep don’t want to be greedy.

Alice in Traverse Town (White Rabbit)
Written by: Completely Inadequate (w/ Jay Blazer)
Instrumental: “White Rabbit" by DJ Side
[J.B.]
Why does it feel like the credits rolling?
I got lightning in a bottle just can't get it open
Why is now when my circumstances better than they ever been
I suck at rapping man I was better hopeless
Inspiration in lesser dosses, lack of imagination and ya better focus
I remember when my dedication when unnoticed
and now I can't figure out what the best approach is
So Imma be at your local bodega
with my mixtape in the CD player
and if you don't listen Imma trip like a breaker
turn Jay Blazer into Jay Castrator
Man I swear that I'm a menace
they lying thought their teeth I just hope they got a dentist
cuz I'm here to clean 'em out like a dental hygienist
and give 'em root canals more the the maps of Venice
Hold on-
see I don't talk about myself enough
I'm too humble and don't like to embellish much
but my flow is still hot enough to melt the crust
and bring you dream living rapper down to hell with us
so face your demons - cuz I just take the beating
get you listening, you lose all sense of sight, taste, smell and touch
this beating banging like a jealous slut
I mean its banging like a sex addict - I'm just out here selling nuts
so you think your're bulletproof like the 50 game?
I used to think the same back when I was rolling round with a fifth of whisky mang
and a bunch of ugly bitches that just want you to tell them they're pretty like they're Trixie Tang
rappers now are beggars with a nifty chain and I'm pretty flame
but I could rap blindfolded in a handstand making the beat with my feet
and not even Barack Obama would give me change
[C.I.]
Why does it feel like the curtain's closing?
Shooting for the stars but really only got explosives
Ill create my own, will anybody notice?
So when you see a shooting star it’s one I might of broken
See I don’t need the help, I’ll throw my own fits
off with my head or feed it like Joplin said
I’m the hookah caterpillar but with only spliffs
Tired of the routines, tired of the same shit…
(same shit) - different week
how much meditating til I can find peace?
Look at me - always running on empty
Am I low on liquids? I don’t bother checking
Caffeine is not a meal,
pinch me, is this real?
Or simulation?
all alone having conversations
voices come and go in random fluctuations
congratu-fucking-lations
you set your limitations
Never thought I’d have to grab the wheel
when blaming others has so much mass appeal
and when they tell me roar, I just tend to squeal
now that I come to think of it, it’s all to conceal
I’m as mad as the hatter, it must be the glue
that holds me on to you, as the mercury scatters
poisoned by love, or is that an illusion?
positioned above the dimension of human
From the city of the 2 live
where people one up each other just to survive
killing in the name of their own “good vibes"
this Atlantis is bound to drown in no time
now the wonderland is polluted with trash
And still I see the beauty though the looking glass
mind tricks continue, white rabbit appears
I think Imma chase him through to the other side of the mirror
Peace.

Myopic (Real Friends)
Written by: Completely Inadequate
Instrumental: “Real Friends" by Boi-1da, Frank Dukes, Havoc, Kanye West, Sevn Thomas, Darren King, Noah Goldstein, & Mike Dean

Rid this other voice inside
cant shut him up, or hide
it resides in the back of my mind
magnify all the mistakes
when the only thing I've given is up - it's always take
more and more always need more and more
what are these compulsive thoughts inside my skull really for?
& People say they miss the old me, I miss him too
When I thought I was sora but I’m turning into riku
and I'm feeling like I'm see-through
why am I so - “I didn’t mean to”
Holding on for too long - is something that I cling to
catch me in a web of lies just so I can seep through
and Who knew?
Stop the masquerade
you’re wearing it right now
man vs. ape
With the heart of a damn child
With Tantrums and all
There's phantoms involved
should I stand still or crawl?
Don’t act so enthralled
My backs against the wall
Deciding the best time to fall
Put a muzzle round my mouth
or some tape over my frown
Who gave me the right to pout?
I see the Devil on my right
and an Angel on my left
how do I divide my mind?
Worthless yet not worth less than perfect
its certain, human dressed as serpent
searching, for his current purpose,
just to find out I’m a stupid lil boy still afraid of punishment
out of control
just like my life
gas tank is full
but i feel an empty light inside
Let’s give a try
Climb atop the highest building I can find,
Flap my arms and hope to fly
Let’s let fate decide
Put logic aside
time to take this frigid little body out for a joyride
You see,
Time doesn’t heal certain wounds
you can catch me chasing my own tail inside a Centrifuge
split in two
just for you
Mr. Scrooge
just the ush
Thinking is becoming something I am not suppose to do
Walking down 21st
See the years pass
Stories inside every curve
Jog my memory - do a lap
Tripping, Stumbling, on my own words
Gripping, then fumbling - & blame it on my nerves
It was me all along
took the mask
ripped it off
overcast
there's no carry over, ‘round here you just carry on
Yelling at the world, there’s no dialog
no back and forth - just epilogue
kingpin - underdog
common folk - demagogue
Pause the world - make it stop
world is turning digital, my brain is stuck on analog
cannon fodder, no control - beta blocker
Rain on your parade? It’ll be my honor
Goner who’s always gone
Somber though nothing wrong
Screaming sad songs in hopes you will sing along
Loose cannon - like I got a motherfucking peg leg
Harsh words break shells - why am I the egg head?
make my best bet, yet I'm humpty with the missteps
worrying about things I haven’t even fucking did yet
someone hit the eject, this being’s about to fail
Can I keep a secret? Only time can really tell
shit, I’ve got no life, I need some Hewitt Packer
stay inside my fortress, I will never leave this castle
So was it Loch Ness... or was it driftwood?
Lotta fish, but I've self inflicted this Fishhook
Spoke and I mistook, swung with a left hook
you don't learn about this inside of textbook
see, I can do anything I want - it's fucking obvious
as long as I'm man enough to deal with the consequence
myopic.

Gut Flora (Survival of the Fittest)
Written by: Completely Inadequate
Instrumental: “Survival of the Fittest" by Havoc (of Mobb Deep)
[C.I.]
Inadequate
it's the devil's advocate
is he real or counterfeit?
does he feel? - inanimate
panicking
brain scrambling
words babbling
This "oh so maddening,
well whoops catastrophe"
there it is
one mistake can feel like six
man, I never thought regret would feel like this
reflection makes me sick
shatter glass with fists
there's so much to do while I'm just busy making lists
not really checking off shit
without a check I can't live,
Hurry up I need that direct deposit real quick
I need something to sip
Don’t wanna feel like myself
and drink till I feel worse
for no reason at all
So tell me...
Is it really “you want what you can’t have”
Or “what you had and lost and just want back”?
Answer me me that
Not feeling intact
No way to react
I can't escape, wall's got my back
claws wont retract
harmless in fact
all this an act
pardon the past
always an ass,
That’s me
COMPLETELY, I N A D
When did life get frightening?
My chest feels like its tightening
No yoga will enlighten me
its time for war - no time for peace
and still I hope your smile keeps
Soooo...
Why don't you just lie to me?
I don't deserve the finer things
I'm fixing up my time machine
and slowly working out the kinks
to see how far it carries me
and hopefully can change some things
I guess we'll have to wait and see
Just know that deja vu is me.
Running in reverse with two left feet
Who placed a curse on this sack of meat?
They told me that "you are what you eat"
Not "microorganisms control me" - gut flora - push over
Supernova turned to "meet your quota"
This is me,
Written on a screen
that we all touch everyday but nobody feels a thing
I'm seeing things like Wilfred
Copy me a little? That's a tidbit
Made up - that’s Quidditch
Pump fake - I fidget
roll up, a given
I’m under some constant suspicion
constant confliction
do this or that?
ruin the past by bringing it back
Seem so detached
yeah steering off track
I’m on rainbow road
Towards the wrong way to go
But I got a blue shell that I’m dying to throw
Die and I grow
way of dark souls
I can’t patrol
this life as a whole
There are just certain things that are out of control
How can I be lazy when I'm running out of time? &
How can you be scared of roaches yet you wanna smoke all mine?
Full of wishes, where's my Farily OddParent?
Can somebody notice me or am I transparent?
You're the queen I'm the peasant
You’re the peace I’m the weapon
We already went to space, where’s the heaven?
I've been gasping for air…
and pretending to care…
while the ending is near…
so just pull up a chair…
yeah, time flies but pigs don’t
You talk online a lot but your lips wont
You post a lot of shit that you cant show
How many followers will it take for you to feel whole?
Always wanting, it's gluttony
I’ll take and take but won’t appreciate what’s in front of me
So what's the difference - between what I want and what I need?
You can’t get through to me - that they are two separate things.
Running in reverse with two left feet
Who placed a curse on this sack of meat?
They told me that "you are what you eat"
Not "microorganisms control me" - gut flora - push over
Supernova turned to "meet your quota"
This is me,
Written on a screen that we all touch everyday but nobody feels a thing.
