Mystery of iniquity



Look at me!
Candidly speaking on a canvas that's bleeding
My cadence and 24 candles can save the world
Or at least have a little less candidates grieving
I stand for all of the things they didn't believe in
I'm trying to normlaise what they call over achieving
For 2×10 years I only got to see mom for the season
But I'm not complaining, her absence is the reason this alter ego was breeded
You can only reap if you have the land to sow
My cold heart turnt all my tears to snow
My sharp brain sliced all the feeling I had to show
Martin Luther had a nightmare about me
I told Annie I'll be right there but she doubt me
I told my demons they'll be better off without me
Lately the source of my happiness is extorted by lavishness
Lately my father ain't spoke to me, imagine that
Lately the government been lying, it's not for the people it's selfishness
I don't see my true reflection in the mirror
Rather when I observe the thoughts that you don't hear
Fear no man, your father gave you domain over his land
I'm only over issues when I'm under the influence
So this cloudy mind of mine has me questioning where all my addictions went
You sold your eyes to the sun for a fortune now you walk around visionless
Every lesson I learnt manifested itself as pain
Every second I spent as precious as a drop of rain
