I've gone into the dawn Hither and thither and yawn Stitches and yarn Y'all String me along Ring the alarm A prisoners bringin' a shiv in the yard To stick in my heart Dig through the wall And rip it apart Split it to shards Spit on my grave Shit on my art Idiots mock with silly remarks Talk but aren't willing to walk A militant march I'm open to listen to critics but what if you're wrong Opinions of flawed You think that you know what I'm thinkin Than finish my thought Dot, dot, dot Flingin' a dart into the dark Consistently missin' my mark And hittin' the block A kid in the park that didn't belong A fish that went swimmin' with sharks Sinks like a rock Ran like a river and I pondered my lot Went wandering off got lost in my thoughts And I squandered my shot Try to stand tall, but my posture is all but balled in a knot And I can take a hintt, so I followed a hunch No probable cause for the horror to come Slaughter the drunks Armed with a water gun and a bottle rum I'll wallow in sorrow for months Crawl to a halt, but I grovel to none The trauma of almost falling in love With the monster in all us can alter and stunt And often it does But I'm not giving up Cause I've also done the impossible once It's all of little consequence When you're always in the audience And get to comment on the artist In the costume of the harlequin The cards are set When the hearts are in the hands Of all the harlots and the charlatans Yes, it's all of little consequence When you're always in the audience And get to comment on the artist In the costume of the harlequin The cards are set When the hearts are in the hands Of all the harlots and the charlatans I'm the last that livin' That had to witness the past And tragic figures that pass like apparitions I have this vision of smashing shattered mirrors I gather the glass and have to fix my scattered image But after I finish it isn't as I pictured Cause half is missing and half is twisting and cracked Perhaps the difference alas Is lack of interest in facts and vast opinions And mass convictions for acts that didn't happen as they think it My fragile fractured friendships Have snapped and splintered Stab my fingers as I grab the axe and swing To hack for timber The wrath of the masked avenger For those who laugh with bad intentions at my expense Then my success is an act of vengeance But is that just petty and passive aggressive To carry resentment And regularly rap on a record I have a confession I haven't accepted the average consensus And challenge convention By asking the question They're actually threatened by talent And balanced perspective I battle depression With maximum effort I'm happy it ended Through travel and afternoon sessions And now I'm trying to capture the essence of gratitude I'll tattoo the message backwards in capital letters Staring at my reflection It's all a little consequence When you're always in the audience And get to comment on the artist In the costume of the harlequin The cards are set When the hearts are in the hands Of all the artists in the charlatans Yes, it's all a little consequence When you're always in the audience And get to comment on the artist In the costume of the harlequin The cards are set When the hearts are in the hands Of all the artists in the charlatans
