lyrics

No matter how hard you try you can’t stop me now
No matter how hard you try you can’t stop me now
Stop me now
No matter how hard you try you can’t stop me now
They bled, they bled, they bled
No matter how hard you try you can’t stop me now
Stop me now

In flesh
No matter how hard you try
Nothing seemed to work
World still turn
And I tried and I tried and
But my World still burn

My World
I seen
I lost it all
By myself

In skin
In flesh
In bones

Ash to dust
Coal to touch
Fire to drugs
Skin to sun
Iron to rust
Power to trust
Atlas shrugged
World’s eclipsed
Saturn scoffed
Jupiter adrift
Red eye to L.A.
Causer of fate
Like Figure 8s
Like a hurricane
Or water to rain
Cycles to blame
Perpetuate pain
Watch it rotate
Past leave a stain
In a carbon trace
Till west erased
Shavings on page
Shapes engraved
Drawing a phantom
Spiritually paid
Fly through the Hood
David display
Specters of place
Run Samothrace
Haunted by days
As the sun go away
Darkness my face
Body of clay
Mountains like shoulders
Rivers like veins
Sisyphus boulder
High when I’m stoned
Low when I’m sober
As I get older
I try and resist
But it persist
Absurd as it is
Hand in a fist in the sky
False sense of pride

In my skin
In my flesh
In my bones
