[Verse 1: Bouts Of Clarity]
Sometimes familiar's is all you need
It's obvious, you wear your heart on your sleeves
Don't lie to us, we got what you seek
It's written on your face, you want the bittersweet taste
But It's never enough, you want the whole meal
So you starve yourself, and start questioning what's real
Am I addicted to the pain, am I addicted to the pleasure
Things don't feel the same, but were they ever better
Looking back with rose-tinted glasses
Wishing that time moved faster than molasses
It's all about perspective and selective memory
Deflect the bad and remember the pleasantries
Of the days past, the days you can't have back
Face facts, reality moves fast
Get on board or get lost in the haze
You can't afford to waste another day
Wrapped up in this shit like a ball of yarn
I keep pulling the string, automated response
My mind withdrawn entwined with song
Confined to thought the silence brought forth
Inside these walls, inner peace, I found my mission
Express yourself through lyrics and a rythm
The only problem, I doubt that they will listen
It's bittersweet when you find solace in retreat
[Verse 2: K. Stone]
Call it bittersweet when the beat is complete
Cuz my mind get discreet when i require the heat
I shy away from the bleak to avoid blowback
But i miss out on material that could get a gold plaque
No cap, i must have wrote this shit a thousand times
Every thought conjures a thousand lines
My mind's loaded like a thousand nines
Ready to commit, a thousand crimes
The allure of takin' the easy way in this game
Sometimes gets to strong and before long
I'm back sounding like everyone else in the chain
But is it really wrong if it fits the song
I don't know i just feel so fucking lost
I just wish that the touch of the winter would spread the frost
Cuz then i might enjoy my time here
And have time to sharpen my rhyme spear
Unbothered by my ethereal shackles
I could just let my material smack 'em
That's if anybody hears me tho
Cuz right now it ain't that many that feels me yo
I can't even get my folks to listen
And not many people got that coarse precision
It feels like it's all wasted energy
But so be it, it's some serenity
Sometimes familiar's is all you need
It's obvious, you wear your heart on your sleeves
Don't lie to us, we got what you seek
It's written on your face, you want the bittersweet taste
But It's never enough, you want the whole meal
So you starve yourself, and start questioning what's real
Am I addicted to the pain, am I addicted to the pleasure
Things don't feel the same, but were they ever better
Looking back with rose-tinted glasses
Wishing that time moved faster than molasses
It's all about perspective and selective memory
Deflect the bad and remember the pleasantries

Wrapped up in this shit like a ball of yarn
