I don’t feel normal, I feel haunted
Every thought I got is sharpened
Like a blade in the dark where I started
From the part of me I discarded
I don’t sleep, I just drift in static
Head full of noise, it’s automatic
Every memory turns erratic
Like a loop that’s psychopathic
I been low where the sun don’t reach
Where the silence starts to speak
Every shadow got teeth
But I don’t run, I just meet it
Call it pain, I call it fuel
Turn the ugly into rule
I don’t bend for no school
I was built in the crude
I don’t ask for no light now
I adapted to the night now
Every demon I invite now
Just becomes part of my pipeline
I move cold, not emotional
Not heartless, just operational
Every wound turned motivational
Every loss informational
They don’t get what I carry
Whole mind feel like a cemetery
But I walk through it steady
Like it’s nothing that can bury me
I don’t fear what I see there
I just stare till it reappear
Every ghost in the mirror
Starts to feel a bit clearer
I been fractured, still standing
Every break made me landing
On a version more demanding
Of the chaos I’m handling
I don’t talk, I just signal
Through distortion and ripple
Every feeling is brittle
But it still moves a little
I don’t need no redemption
I don’t want no exemption
From the weight of attention
I just use it as tension
I been carved by the pressure
Every scar is a lecture
Turn the hurt into texture
Now I move like a vector
No salvation agenda
Just a mind I remember
From the coldest December
Where I learned to surrender
Not to people or system
But the noise in the distance
That keeps calling persistence
From the dark in existence
I don’t break, I just deepen
Every night I’m not sleeping
Is a pact I’m still keeping
With the parts I’m still feeding
I don’t shine, I just flicker
Like a flame getting thicker
In the smoke and the liquor
Of a life going quicker
But I stay in the motion
Like a curse or devotion
Every drop of emotion
Turns to something I’m holding
Not a saint, not a martyr
Just a mind going farther
Through the pain getting harder
Like it’s part of the starter
I don’t end, I evolve it
Every problem I solve it
By absorbing and altering
Till it no longer haunts me
