mikelwj - overture lyrics

[verse one: mikelwj]
it’s been three long months since i picked up a pen
and my chicken scratch journal is questioning where i’ve been
i mean, i don’t know, feeling utter mental collapse
in the back of a mind state that could shadow my raps
you f-ckers made me a clown, another p-wn in a show
i was acting out the words the songs that i never wrote
i was leaning on the feeling of hoping my heart had broke
since compared to my friends, my f-cking life was a joke
they call me smooth, yet obnoxious, my personalities cautious
and if you’re stepping to my level then you know that i’ll stop it
now i’m stacking up letters, i’m writing faster and better
and i put together puzzles with pictures of better weather
it’s this big battle within me that will be ending me softly
it’s my desire to win, but knowing winning’s not healthy
it’s my blood stream with coffee that pays the price of a robbery
and the fact that i’m young makes them think they can stop me

[verse two: mikelwj]
i gave up a life of calm thoughts to chase this dream
i gave up being normal just so you won’t leave
but i got sucked in, and so you found the door
they call me manic depressive, so let me say a little more
half of those thoughts we’re suicidal, i felt like a lost prophet
i was reaching for the stars, but i guess that i grabbed a comet
i’m a failure to my district, my father hates my existence
and none of my friends have realized that lately i’ve been missing
these ladies i’ve been kissing, all they’ve done is made me empty
then people start to question the reason i’m never friendly
i try to move forward but my friends tell me to fall back
and all along i’m looking for a bullet for my skull cap
and that’s not even the half of it, i won’t go there
since i’m better than ever but i still find grey hair
this is the path that i have chosen. yes i know it’s lone and broken
but the only way i’ll make it’s if i do it by my lonesome

[verse three: mikelwj]
grey is just the area where black and white meet
so this stage is just the wood that will hold up my feet
and this pill is just a method that will help me fall asleep
so i deliver my message to help you relieve the grief
i walk in shoes that aren’t mine, so my friends don’t cry
i’ve stood in front of people as they all told me to die
i’ve held the world on my shoulders, pebbles turn to boulders
but the only thing i fear is i’m slowly getting older
[ha, and that’s some real f-cking talk man
i thought i won, but i never had a real plan
so now i’m tired, and i only want a break
take off this mask if you want to see my face.] [x2]

[verse four: mikelwj]
things were darker than ever and i was trying to breathe
friends kept me together but friends happen to leave
i was looking for heaven, since men took all that i’d give
i was saying i would die just to learn how to live
my mother tells me to smile since the world will get better
but i claimed my little corner and thats what keeps me together
since i’m rolling with punches, and shootings not in the memo
i’m standing my ground firmly, but learning how to let go
the whole world tried to tell me life’s an eye for an eye
but if you stab me in the back, then all you’ll get is goodbye
because i’m better than that, it’s not my job to punch back
i came here just to create, working on track after track
i can’t just end it all at outcast, i need to tell a story
of happier days after dark nights that are blurry
so forget about heartbreak and forget about the cheater
now welcome one and all to the start of the pigeon theater

[perhaps all my dreams are simply imagined endings for the cliffhangers in my life.]
