Controlled Chaos
Controlled Chaos (9/14/2007)
I used to act on emotion, just find a flow that I’d go with
If I felt, I showed it. If I thought it, I told it
I didn’t try to control it, don’t fucking try to console it
Like a wave in the ocean, it was a rush when I rode it
And when I wrote it all down and it caused a commotion
Somebody else is pissed off now by the way I extolled it
These words are so damn strong, they can’t be broken or folded
These letters are like steel when you read it and hold it
But my focus was broken and I was told to conceal this
It’s ok if I feel this, but I shouldn’t always reveal it
Because people are sensitive when you’re brutally honest
These topics are making people sick ’til they vomit
Got it? You get it? Can you understand this position?
Listen mister, you need to make some better decisions
And refocus your visions with fine tuned precision
To avoid making a few people move a few inches
You’re always moaning and bitching, stop spreading the sickness
Don’t keep swinging the hammer to break through a skull’s thickness
This just isn’t a business, these are the lives that we live in
And maybe you should accept the good things you’ve been given
Listen, I get it, if it’s not good, don’t say it
But the silence is boring, it’s kind of hard to portray it
And this fucking complacence that everybody calls patience
It’s all a pain in my ass and now I’m starting to hate it
Cause my behavior and all the anger it’s seemingly laced with
Is a motivational force to elevate me to places
Way in outer spaces, where I can’t see your faces
Where I can sit on a storm cloud and burn through the pages
It’s outrageous to think how I followed your censorship
Fuck every mother fucker who would shit on these messages
The words you’ve been messing with depict all the endlessness
Of a soul’s drive to flourish and replace all the emptiness
