Introduction

Hello, you've come here in search of release, huh?
Feeling the need to inspire your soul?
Wanting to disappear to a place you could feel outside of your skin?
Well, you've found one: a place within my mind

[XXXTENTACION]
Listen close, what is this?
Is it heartbreak?
Is it truly what it feels like?
What it sound like?
What is truly at the essence?
Sharp teeth in the chest
Cancer all in the breast
Of the beaten and bruised
Feelin' like a pawn to the greed of these fools
But I never been a piece of the evil
In the womb of these fake f*ck niggas
With they masks up, presume
I'll be telling, if I got a load, I swear I resume
On my conquest
For the key to the chest where my mind slept
And the love in my heart is a cancer
And I spread it through the wall as an answer
To the cries of the dead and the vanquished
The depressed and the lost and the damned, it's
Preservation of the peace, an ideal world
Never lonely when you flowin' through my mind, girl
I apologize, 'cause I couldn't see the pain in your damn eyes
'Cause a nigga made you leave with your heart in between different pains
Couldn't see ya when ya ain't cry

[XXXTENTACION]
I guess I'm at a loss for words
To feel so close to someone, and for them to be gone the next day
I guess you never realize how permanently damaging that is

(Reversed lyrics:
*I know you so well
I’ve been pretty—
I mean, I can do better than he can
I know you so well, I know you, girl
well, well, well

**And I don’t feel the same, I’m so numb
I’ll be feelin' pain, I’ll be feelin' pain just to hold on
And I don’t feel the same, I’m so numb
I’ll be feelin' pain, I’ll be feelin' pain just to hold on)

Train food

I remember I had walked home that day
Content with all my misery
Told my self it'd get better, no clue what there was next to me
Remember there was people, walkin', talkin' in the distance
I was dressed for winter weather
But the summer rays were kissing me
I, I was lost

So I took a different path, in the distance he awaited me
Had no weapon, I'm guessing his hands were just enough for me
Was no question, I'm guessing he laughed just at the sight of me
I was lost

I remember I had walked home that day
Content with all my misery
Told my self it'd get better, no clue what there was next to me
Remember there was people, walkin', talkin' in the distance
I was dressed for winter weather
But the summer rays were kissing me
I, I was lost

And there he was, his presence was alarming
As he approaches casual, we talk 'bout self-harming
He told me "kid, you shouldn't be walkin' on your own"
He smiled and laughed, and pat my back
He said, "how far are you from home?"
I said, "maybe 30 minutes"
His frequency distorted quick, I seen it in his image
I should've run right f*cking there, I-

You ever woke up on a train track
With no motherf*ckin' clothes on?
Death before your eyes, you prayin' to God, but ain't no response
Trying to scream for hope, just a shoulder that you can lean on
But ain't nobody coming, so you scream on
And scream on and scream on
While this evil f*ck laugh at you?
Train getting closer, you still surprised that he battered you
Tears falling harder and harder, minutes get minuscule
Could've had a son or a daughter, now what you finna do?
You finna die here on this train track
'Cause clearly after death, ain't no way you can find your way back
Thinking 'bout your previous memories, going way back
All them f*cking dreams 'bout the diamond chain and the Maybach
Now your time finally up
Ask yourself the final question, is you going down or up?
Recollectin' all the moments that you never gave a f*ck
Now it's here, death has now arrived, times finally up

He said oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-woah-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Won't look back on my mom
Won't look back on my son
Won't let you cloud my mind
Won't let you cloud my mind
All my days, I was crying
All my love was on my eyes
Told my Mom, I'm gon' shine
To my love, I'm gon'...

And I was like
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-woah-oh

STARING AT THE SKY

Yeah

I was staring at the sky
Singin' toxic lullabies
I was starin' at the sky
Screaming words with no remorse
Pitchforks pointed at my heart
I was staring at the sky

Run from your pain!
Run from your pain!
Run from your pain!
Run from your pain!

I was staring at the sky
Singin' toxic lullabies
I was starin' at the sky

One Minute

So much hate at the top, it's a lonely place
When you find out the opps ain't the only snakes
And your spouse only know what you don't erase
The world only know you by your worst mistakes
So spazz on they ass, that's the only way
Smash on the gas down, Stoney, aye
Crash and come back with a swollen face
And when I'm on my way, X hold the gate
Terrorize, sipping on that Koshi, 'Ye, ay
If you bitch-made, we don't associate
Show up at your birthday if you owe me cake
With a black mask, that's how we exfoliate
So pardon my way, my heart's in the way
I follow my thoughts, ain't no logic in 'Ye
Said that's all I'ma say, if he caught him a case
Then send him to jail, like a dog in a cage
I ain't feeling the age, no rottin' away
Your dolphins are dazed, you caught in a wave
'Cause coffins is laid under a tombstone
'Cause even when you die, they still throwing rocks at your grave
So follow the wave, can't swallow the hate
My mind trumps anything that a scholar could say
Don't know how to behave, we rage out of the raves
Dislocate an arm, just pop it in place
'Cause the damned, they ain't it
All the pain and anguish
Turned me into a man
So I ain't complainin'
Now these things is changin'
No more lames is hanging
No more fame in famous
Ain't no shame in shaming
She wanna give you the cookie, you Famous Amos
She gave you the pussy, but you ain't pay for the anus
Now your name is tainted, by the claims they paintin'
The defendant is guilty, no one blames the plaintiff
Gotta say it in Layman’s terms, while you wait on arraignments
'Cause if the jury say you did it, the payment is heinous
Give me one minute, my lady just fainted
My babies is crying, you understand what I'm sayin'?

One minute, one minute, gone
One minute and the next one's mine
One minute, one minute, gone
One minute and the next one's mine
One minute, one minute, gone
One minute and the next one's mine
One minute, one minute, gone
One minute and the next one's, m-i-i-ine!

Ahaha
Black man, black man
Fake eyes, black man
Fake eyes, black man
Fake eyes, black man
Fake, I want more!
Fake eyes, f*ck man

One minute, one minute, gone
One minute and the next one's mine
One minute, one minute, gone
One minute and the next one's mine
One minute, one minute, gone
One minute and the next one's mine
One minute, one minute, gone
One minute and the next one's

difference (interlude)

Baby, I just wanna show you things
Can I be different?
Baby, I could buy you wedding rings
Don't care about the distance
Baby, I just wanna show you things
Could I be different?
Baby, I could buy you wedding rings
Couldn't give a f*ck about the distance
Ouu-ohh, ouu-oh, ouu-oh, ouu-oh
Ouu-ohh-oh, ouu-oh, ouu-oh, ouu-oh
Ouu-ohh-oh, ouu-oh, ouu-oh, ouu-oh-oh
Ouu-ohh-oh, ouu-oh, ouu-oh, ouu-oh-oh
Yeah-aha, let's play it back

Sometimes I don't let go

Thoughts is f*cking verified
Lettin' 'em know your thottie mind
But I don't want her, 'cause I got a wife
Playing with the pen through the day and night
Play with the mind and the beat, oh, I
Shawty wanna swallow up the meat, oh, I
Shawty wanna swallow up the meat, oh, I

He's mad 'cause of your hoes (Yeah!)
Watching from the outside
