lyrics

Intro – Mary Julia Hinson
As I go down by the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who should wear the robe and crown
Good lord, show me the way

Verse 1 – Apollo
Penning these prescriptions, fitting every description
I'm trying to cure addictions with a dose of Lyrical Elixirs
I'm conflicted, inscripted on my brain is cryptic
Hieroglyphic type thoughts, man I'm just a lil different
I'm a misfit with a misprint on the verge of conniption fits
I did this, did this, why the f*** can't I spit this
It’s just not good, not good enough, won't nobody get this
Architected my place in this pad, but now I feel evicted
I'm afflicted, infected, with predicted perfection
I expect it, depict it, so every lyric I write I dissect it
I correct it, deject it, dissect it, and object it
Look all I see are defects and flaws so reject it
Pause, All I'm putting up is walls
All I'm doing is not writing, all I've done is fall
All I feel is pressure, all I feel is pressure
Walking down a hallway that was drawn by MC Escher
I'm just lost
