The Roads
• Written by Erudite
Verse 1:
Feeling bad, hope she don't see the good in me
maybe see something I couldn't see, set me free
That's just make-believe, I'm only for the braille
I'd need a holy grail, to hold me in my tale
Always dreaming I'm yet to find my wake
Yet I find my state, a fret in dead space
That's the mass effect, I don't think I've mastered yet
this mass is stressed, manifest a passive jest
just to escape what my past suggest, passages
written in the past confess, in which path I rest
Hope I can make it through the fork
and they make it through the jerk
that I act to make it work
not complacent to the hurt
Be that way until I'm placed into the dirt
into that space, that place that I can't desert
Hook:
These sands are mine,
the grain is in my time
Traded time for a jaded mind,
They dug deep with a spade in mind
As they asked me what my state of mind
had to do with me still stating rhymes
Man I told these words just to stay in lines
Because verbs fade but they seem to stay in time
Verse 2:
If you bringing up my past, you another effigy
Proof from my past for the future not to f with me
When i catch my dreams then I can rest in peace
Floating scenes of gates and open sesame
Maybe I can roll a pair of dice and find paradise
I'm tired of arid nights, I want to flair the light
That been trapped and scared to fight
So air the mic, tear into the lair of strife
in the fallout they told me I had a Khans soul
I just want to console, why they want to control?
I'd read about the phosphorus and now I want a match
Not the ash, but a swatch of the flames, that burns to last
An outline of a coal, a fire to feed the cold
Cause this winter walk is beating on defeated soles
So here I am, two roads
Minds open hearts to closed
