Vultures

Wake up, take off, don't look down
Can I make it? Just to make somebody proud
Waiting, patient, silence getting loud
Look inside my skull, not a light, not a sound
Stooped is the brow, just for now, yeah
Keep to the shadows, I like living in a shroud, yeah
Wanting out, I'll say it loud
But there's people in this world who don't want that in your mouth
Man, it's downright terrible
People so malleable
Fitting into whatever is open cause it's comfortable
What's attainable? Don't dare play the fool
Put it all out on the table, lesser people come gets plates of food
I put in work, got results, it's just something better people do
Nights after school, locked inside, my mind was cruel
Dropped pounds, I was eating rhymes in place of food
Head preoccupied with goals, didn't think about what I consumed
Teachers took me outta class, reminding me of papers due
Societies of fraud, wad of shit, who's it tapered to?
Break free from the game, god damn, fucking take a clue
Everybody is the same, just a little different shade of blue
If you end up living like them, only person there's to blame is you

You've been hung (Strung, strung)
Hung up by a cable
People saying that a dream is in the same boat as a fable
Old friends wanting me to stay, I can't hang, cut the cable
In this world we cannot run, stallions in the stable
A battalion been disabled cause we're told that we're unable
You believe it? Nah, go seize it
This life's full of labels, I got crazy, lazy, egoistic
Got called lunatic, now isn't it ironic
People get up in your business
Recommending shit you gotta do to win
When they been living in the system
God be with them, they don't get it
I'll be honest, I didn't either
But that mindset broken, Seether
Live on a line while I teeter
Living a lie I don't believe in
Can't escape it, this is culture
They shaped you, you're their sculpture
Put koolaid in your water
Picked apart, guess who's the vulture
