"One Perfect Something"

It was nothing but a fantasy (I knew it)
But I had a lot of fun before (I blew it)
Isn't that what everybody says
That you can't eat the cake if you piss on it
I put my money on a card roulette
And I kept my smile as I placed my bet
I knew what I did when I went on the ride
It's a 5-align credit on the wild side
You showed me how
It was too good to be true
And that I should grow up
And start sniffing the glue
But it's all around me
To the left and the right
And it's eating me up
And spitting me out
If you've never seen a failure
(then here's one!)
I was doomed before I ever begun
I was on board drinking
When titanic went down
And the band played on as I ordered a round
That’s just how it goes
Don’t you think I know?
You don't have to tell it to my face (tell it to my face)
I won’t stop the show
I just let it flow
You don’t have to tell it to my face (tell it to my face)
I don’t ever want to stand in line (you get it?)
Cause I could find a better waste of time (you bet it)
Everybody wants a piece of the pie
So I take what I want and I never ask why
If you wondered what would make me up
Then you'll self combust if you smell the glove
I'm a timebomb running out of batteries
And with fellos like you
I don’t need no enemies
That’s just how it goes
Don’t you think I know?
You don’t have to tell it to my face (tell it to my face)
I won’t stop the show
I just let it flow
You don’t have to tell it to my face (tell it to my face)
That’s just how it goes
Don’t you think I know?
You don’t have to tell it to my face (tell it to my face)
I won’t stop the show
I just let I flow
You don’t have to tell it to my face (tell it to my face)
That's just how it goes
Don’t you think I know?
You don’t have to tell it to my face (tell it to my face)
I won’t stop the show
I just let it flow
you don’t have to tell it to my face (tell it to my face)
(Tell it to my face)
(Tell it to my face)
(Tell it to my face)

"Pretend To Be"

You say that your proud of me
Ohhhohhohoh
And you take something out of me
So predictable
Why do I have to see this through?
Why do I have to take this?
Isn’t there something I can do
To make myself finally say this?

No
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see,
You’re not the one that you pretend to be

You start with apologies
Ohhhohhohoh
Then take another shot at me
So pretendable
Why do I have to see this through?
Why do I have to take this?
Isn’t there something I can do
To make myself finally say this?

No
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see,
You’re not the one that you pretend this
No
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see,
You’re not the one that you pretend to be

Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Oh oh oh ah ah oh

No
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see,
You’re not the one that you pretend this
No
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see,
You’re not the one that you pretend to be

"Qwerty"


I didn't think that I had a debt to pay
'Til they came to take what I had left away
You said you wouldn't put me to the test today
But I remember you saying that yesterday

There was a time when your mind wasn't out of control
Every memory and confession pouring out of your soul
Like a pill you couldn't swallow so it swallowed you whole
Another lie hard to follow, it followed you home

And like that
Broken down
A victim of your plight

Fire so out of control
Every memory and confession pouring out of your soul

And like that
Broken down
A victim of you lies

You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
Why
You crossed the line
Wrapped up inside your
Lies
You hide behind
Lies
You're lost inside that cold disguise
Behind your lies

I don't know what I thought I might say
Seems like we never would talk the right way
Every other minute I fought for my place
And drop what I made thought you might say so

I'm guessing that you probably know
When your inside's hollow and you want to be cold
Like a pill I couldn't swallow and it swallow me whole
Another lie hard to follow, it followed you home

And like that
Broken down
A victim of your lies

You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
Why
You crossed the line
Wrapped inside your lies
You hide behind
Lies
You're lost inside that cold disguise
Behind your lies

You're faking, you're mistaken
If you think that you could climb out of this hole
Forsaken, what would take me?
Analyzing by the power of your soul

Broken down, a victim of your
Faking, you're mistaken
If you think that you could climb out of this hole
Broken down, a victim of your lies

You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
Why
You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
Why
You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
Why
You hide behind
Wrapped up inside your lies

You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
Why
You crossed the line
Wrapped up inside your
Lies
You hide behind
Lies
You're lost inside that cold disguise
Behind your lies

"She Couldn't"


Won't be long till everybody knows.

I've seen her smiling,
The sunlight shining for her now.
She couldn't stay here,
She knows you won't let her down.

You know she couldn't stay here with you.
You know she had to go.
Even though she couldn't stay here with you,
You know you're not alone.

[2x]
No matter what you think you did wrong,
(Won't be long till everybody knows)
She knew she had to go all along.
(Won't be long till everybody knows)

I've seen her shining,
The sunlight's crying for her now.
She wouldn't stay here,
She knows you won't let her down.

You know she couldn't stay here with you.
You know she had to go.
Even though she couldn't stay here with you,
You know you're not alone.

[2x]
No matter what you think you did wrong,
(Won't be long till everybody knows)
She knew she had to go all along.
(Won't be long till everybody knows)

(Won't be long till everybody knows)
(Won't be long till everybody knows)
(Won't be long till everybody knows)

[2x]
No matter what you think you did wrong,
(Won't be long till everybody knows)
She knew she had to go all along.
(Won't be long till everybody knows)

[Repeat until faded out]
No matter what you think you did wrong,
(You know she couldn't stay here with you)
She knew she had to go all along.
(You know she had to go)

"Standing In The Middle"

I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it

Yo, y’all better wake up, you think we don’t see y’all drifting?
Sleeping on the job and forgetting your position?
(Position)
Sit straight and listen what you are missing
I cook up a batch, hot straight out the kitchen

No indecision, I spit right
Heavy as a fist fight
No gloves and no masks
No pain and no slack
No way to look back

Nobody to say, I can’t make my own path
'Cause the way that y’all act, I wanna break something
Comin’ at me like the pain I feel means nothing
Comin’ from a place where you can’t relate

Where every word from your face comes across as fake
And I can hardly take the way that y’all treat us
Sending this out to anyone who won’t believe us
Spelling it out so y’all know the deal
And if you can’t feel it, maybe you can’t feel

I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
Man, who are you?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
What are you saying?

I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
What are you writing?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
Man, who are you?

Tell ‘em, Motion, eat your words
Say what you used to say and act how you used to act
Every time you heard my occupation was a rap attack
(Rap attack)
My conversation’s stacked, I switch my defense on you

Every time you want to get deep, you’ll see my knuckle package
Born to die, ferocious Emcee make you go back and write your rhymes
My style chokes up like a little league baseball player
It moves, I’m strangling as I’m swinging as main mangler

I wanna dee-four, poach you as your seafood is cee-four
I’m gonna rap and you still knee-high
Y’all wanna train with me, guy? Man, it’s destructive
Man, it’s like jabs from boxing champ Lennox

Perfect for your head, I’ll fit it like New Era hats
That top off suits, B-boy etiquette
Express myself with my hang-side
Then I extend one finger, the middle fucking

I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
Man, who are you?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
What are you sayin’?

I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
What are you writin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
Man, who are you?

Yo, Motion
(Yeah?)
Sometimes I feel it’s like nothing that I ever do is ever good enough
(For real)
Like I should stop and go back to L.A.

Back away where I know, I won’t be seen
And nobody’s gonna critique the music that I make
And mistake me for some fucking kid with a backpack
Rapping on a track just to make a buck

For a mix-tape that sucks
And dee-jays that don’t get it
But I been down that road and I know
People don’t wanna go where I might go

Don’t wanna know what it’s like
To step outside your zone with a mike
Just controlling the hype
And if we need to take shots from them

And be stopped by them just to make these ends
Then so be it, I will not hold my breath
I’m gonna spit ‘til I got none left
Motion, where you at?

I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
Man, who are you?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
What are you sayin’?

I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
What are you writin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it

Man, who are you?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it

"Starting To Fly"

I know the answers from the words of
The prophet
I've seen the light through the fingers
Made of magic

I've seen an image of the future,
It's a vision and I know who you are

[Chorus]
Go away can't you see you're not real
Open your eye some place far away
I've seen the ocean and I've seen the sky
I've got my wings and I'm starting to fly

I met a poet tonight behind the masses
I sang a song about my many true
Addictions
I saw myself in a hole, down below
And I know who you are

[Chorus]
I'm alright though it's hard to feel
Open your eye some place far away
I've seen the ocean and I've seen the sky
I've got my wings and I'm starting to fly

oh yeah, oh yeah

Open your eyes
Look to the sky
Grab your wings
And then, start to fly
[2x]

[Chorus]
I've seen the ocean and I've seen the sky
I've got my wings and I'm starting to fly
[2x]

"Super Xero (By Myself)"

What do I do to ignore what's behind me?
Do I follow my fate and escape blindly?
Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams
And give into sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I let it go and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them redhanded?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness?
Or do I trust nobody and live life in lonliness?

The sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right turns but I'm lost within
I put on my daily façade but then
I just end up gettin' hurt again

[pre-chorus:]
By myself (Myself)
I ask why (but in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself (Myself)
I ask why (but in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself

[chorus]:
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watchin' everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to give in to fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me 'til everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer...

[pre-chorus and chorus]

How do you think
That I've lost so much
I'm always afraid
That I'm out of touch
How do you expect
That I will know what to do
When all I know
Is what you tell me to

Don't you (know)
I can't tell you how to make it (go)
No matter what I do, how hard I (try)
I can't seem to convince myself (why)
I'm stuck on the outside
[x2]

[chorus]

I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watchin' everything spin
With thoughts of failure from with...(in)

"System"

You fell away,
What more can I say?
The feelings evolved,
I won't let it out,
I can't replace...
Your screaming face,
Feeling the sickness inside

Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine…
We'll be fine…
Then your body will be mine

So many words
Can't describe my face
This feeling's evolved
So soon to break out
I can't relate
to a happy state
feeling the blood run inside

Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine…
We'll be fine…
Then your body will be mine

Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
Keep me down to what you think I should be!
Must you tempt me and provoke the ministry?

Keep on trying I’ll not die so easily

I will not die…

Why is everything so fucking hard for me?

I will not die…

Why is everything so fucking hard for me?

I will not die…

Why won't you die?
Your blood is mine….
We'll be fine….
Then your body will be mine [x2]

"Walking Dead"

[Spoken:]
Suppose you were to die tonight.
What would you say?
Do you believe in life after death?

In the chill of the night,
I can feel my heart racing,
As I run towards the light,
that seems so far away,
Wondering forever, in the darkest of shadows,
Wondering if I will ever see you again.

Wondering if I will ever see you again

I'll take your love (I'll take your love),
I'll take your hate (take your hate),
I'll take your desire.

I'll take the world,
When it turns on you (when it turns on you),
I'll set it afire.

(The walking dead, the walking dead.)

Digging in the dirt,
I can feel you getting closer,
Steadying my hands through the blistering pain,
Anxiously awaiting for the earth to reveal you,
Wondering if I will ever see you again.

Wondering if I will ever see you again.

I'll take your love (I'll take your love),
I'll take your hate (take your hate),
I'll take your desire.

I'll take your heart,
I'll take your pain (I'll take your pain),
I'll bring you to life.

I'll bring you to life...

(The walking dead, the walking dead.)

I'll bring you to life...

I'll take your love (I'll take your love),
I'll take your hate (take your hate),
I'll take your desire.

I'll take the world,
When it turns on you (when it turns on you).

(The walking dead, the walking dead.)

I'll take your love (I'll take your love),
I'll take your hate (take your hate),
I'll take your desire.

I'll take your heart,
I'll take your pain (I'll take your pain),
I'll bring you to life.

[Spoken:]
There is no such thing as Death, there is only Change

"What We Don't Know"

If everything would just stop
Then maybe I could clear up my thoughts
If everything would stand still
I could've hidden how lost I feel

I should've said what I hear
I should've let myself fear
I should've made myself clear

So this is how we fall apart
This is how the ending starts
And when we find we lost our minds
We fake what we don't know

I never asked to let go
I never thought I could sink so low
I never let myself down
Until the second I did right now

I should've said what I hear
I should've let myself fear
I should've made myself clear

So this is how we fall apart
This is how the ending starts
And when we find we lost our minds
We fake what we don't know

So this is how we fall apart
This is how the ending starts
And when our heads betray our hearts
We fake what we don't know

Cause all we are is everything we've done
All we are is how quickly we run
And all we are
We are

This is how we fall apart
But this is how beginnings start
Cause when our heads betray our hearts
We fake what we don't know

And if our doubt begins again
The answers find us in the end
So in the meantime we'll pretend
And fake what we don't know

This is how we fall apart
But this is how beginnings start
Cause when our heads betray our hearts
We fake what we don't know

And if our doubt begins again
The answers find us in the end
So in the meantime we'll pretend
And fake what we don't know
