I spend my hours doing alchemy
I mix my yellows and my blues to make a shade of green
Prosaic practice of depravity
Suspending innocents above their disbelief
I wish that I could paint a pretty picture onto everything
And leave a mark upon the world that felt like anything
But maybe that's the essence of an artist and their legacy
Just chasing down a sense of infamy
Put brush to canvas with a pirouette
A simple motion makes the consequence intricate
All the little nothings and my parapet
I hope it's something that you don't forget
Cadmium red is the ground beneath
Cadmium orange, everything I see
Cadmium yellow is the air I breathe
Cadmium colors painted inside me
I can make autumn from a single leaf
Steal a fine picture like a first class thief
Make the water work like you won't believe
Find a new world that can set you free
How could anybody ever live like me
I spend my hours doing alchemy
I make a life refining zinc inside the smeltery
It's not exactly where I want to be
But wanting doesn't matter when there's mouths to feed
I wish that I could paint a pretty picture of a fantasy
And turn a feeling to a living for my family
Instead I make the metals in the pigments in my reverie
And maybe that can be enough for me
Oh, isn't it funny facing destiny
It's like a knife inside twisting my arteries
God, I want for nothing but identity
I think that something might be wrong with me
Cadmium red is the ground beneath
Cadmium orange, everything I see
Cadmium yellow is the air I breathe
Cadmium colors painted inside me
Antegrade fever, 101 degrees
Shatter my body with a gentle breeze
Dammit, I am real and I have my dreams
Watch me burn brighter 'til I fail to breathe
How could anybody ever live like me
Baby, do you know what it's like to die
To see the sparkle fade from inside your eye
I can't remember what it's like to feel autonomy
Can't even feel it in the moments that you left to me
I don't wanna leave with a work undone
The paint can barely dry 'fore it fills my lungs
I keep a bullet in the chamber, mocking me
But I don't wanna feel it coming out of me
I don't want-
I spend my hours doing alchemy
I mix my yellows and my blues to make a shade of green
Chasing impossible philosophy
And hoping that this poison ain't the death of me
Cadmium red is the ground beneath
Cadmium orange, everything I see
Cadmium yellow is the air I breathe
Cadmium colors painted inside me
I can make autumn from a single leaf
Steal a fine picture like a first class thief
Make the water work like you won't believe
Find a new world that can set you free
How could anybody ever live like-
Baby, do you know what you wanna hear
'Cause you can say the word, make it oh so clear
We're all just searching for a sense of solidarity
To hold each other close and confiscate our destiny
No one wants to leave with a work undone
We only need a brush we can pass along
I kept a bullet in the chamber for a rainy day
But what's the point in planning for it anyway
I've got too many colors for a shade of grey
And I can make it Autumn every single day

I got some pills in a bag

Waiting for them to be snagged

Suicidal thought kicking in

I don’t know where to begin

This is all going to get really sad

I don’t know what’s to be had

I don’t know where to start

I don’t know where to start



I can feel my heart, beating through my chest

I don’t know what’s, gonna to happen next

I’m high up on a ledge, looking at the ground

Is someone gonna to save me, I don’t see anyone around

So I jump to see, and I start free falling

I start to regret, why didn’t I keep stalling

I get close to the ground, and I hit it

Then I’m sitting in my bed, this was all a bit



But what if that really did happen to me

Would I still be here to see

You and me 

Sitting next to each other 

Like best friends and a brother

You and I are higher

We can always spit fire

While everyone has a miss fire

We’ll escape the wildfires

Im holding these memories 

All of them are remedies

I keep them in my treasury

I watch them like documentaries 

At least I have all my extremities

Pulling them off like they’re my nemeses

I’ll be thinking this way for centuries

I always overcome my enemies

You and I share similarities 

Unlike my enemies

All these irregularities 

Are affecting my trajectory 

Now remember these jealousies

Like their my enmities

These are all familiarities 

Cause I’m pressure eased

I wouldn’t consider that a prosperity

Now look at all my heredities

I have all the popularities

Do you see my embassy’s 

I speak like a machinery

Look at you buffoonery

And I’ll clean up by putting you in the smeltery



Whooo



Can’t you relate

When a loved one says “I love you”

But you don’t want to say it back 

Because of what they did to you 

Way back in your past

Why did you lie to me

And say that we were meant to be

When In reality

We just disagree

I’ve had suicidal thoughts

But I’ve never taken the shot 

I’ve cut my forearm

But I never meant any harm

I would never put a gun to my head

The last thing I want is to end up dead

I never meant to worry anyone (sorry dad)

I would never pull the trigger

But if I did then maybe I should pull it quicker 



Suicide is a real thing

When you take your life you’re cutting the last string 

If you’re considering taking your life 

Take some therapy

For some clarity 

You never know what’s hidden deep up in your house 

Until you talk about it and let it air out



So intensive

So tremendous

So aggressive

So possessive 

Not attentive

Why they say that

I’m defenseless 

My perspective 

My objective

My incentives

My intentions

You’re defective

Not responsive

So close to death

I should lay down

Take my last breath
