A Gain (after the loss)

Emotionless, this city lies
Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
The dull, the dark
Shades on my day
I live inside this play

Locked up inside my metal cage

Always tense & filled w/rage

Above the concrete fields below

w/you I wanna go

.. now my ends are meetin' in the best way that I know

.. & the beats that go BOOM

See the music I consume to escape the doom & gloom

All the beats & melodies they keep realities at bay

But what happen when the record drummin' start to fade away

Alone within myself again
I try to veil away my pain

.. & now I hear no sounds...

I feel like Melly Mel from way back in the days

As I wonder how I keep from going under

I got trouble on my mind like my name was Chuck D

& like Marvin Gaye, it makes me wanna holler

But when the music hits me I feel no pain

That's why I got to put you on again & again

I take the needle off the Technics & put it in my vein

All my troubles get crushed as the rush hits my brain

& away.. goes.. trouble.. down the drain

I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only what I wanna be

Music is my sanctuary

Music is my blanket

My blanket covers me

You are my living world
You are you are you are my
My only living world....
