Collapse and Appear - Lil Ugly Mane

He used to laugh the loudest, now it never shows

He tried to be the tallest, but he never grows

He watched his brother die and never told

Looked around and knew he had to go

He knew his father had a better dream

But you can’t learn from what you’ve never seen

He tried to mingle with these jealous thieves

Watch a human interact with a machine

Watch a human interact with a machine

Watch a human get abused by a machine

Watch a human getting used by a machine

Now he’s useless, and he’s stupid and obscene

He never leaves

He never leaves

He comes and he goes, but he never leaves

He never breathes, he never breathes

He inhales and exhales, but he never breathes

He never leaves

He never leaves

He comes and he goes, but he never leaves

He never breathes, he never breathes

He inhales and exhales, but he never breathes

I fell apart and took my mind with me

I have been barely sustaining

My pain just marinating

I fell apart and took my mind with me

Just a ghost cloaked in lies with a broken spine

Fell apart and took my mind with me

Just an unrecognizable creature, caught under an avalanche

Fell apart and took my mind with me

My presence unnerving, I’m a shadow always lurking

Surrounded by death

Even the towel rack reminds me of the handles pallbearers grip tightly on the

way out of church

What they use to lift you up into the back of that hearse

I see a woman tighten grip on her purse

Can’t be offended, she doesn’t know my intentions

She imagines the worst

Around here, the conditions severe

Around here, you tightrope between detachment and fear Between the shattered

fragments of existence that collapse and appear

Never changes, just exacerbates depression deeper year after year

Pain weaving in, pain weaving out

Heartworms, sharp turns, sparse words, scars, burns

I spent a long time dying, don’t wake me up yet

Public executions, you’ll never see me upset

Force-fed myself with blow, but now I settle for sedatives

No longer in the streets, I belong in the crevices

Positively negative, popular I’ve never been

Hard to be a person when you lack the mental requisites

Emotionally deficit, consumed with all the wretchedness

Not optimist or pessimist, my politics are in exodus

Spouting countless fountains out while drowning in the brine

My life’s the foulest algorithm science can’t define

They trap you in these systems that are phallic in design

Because they fuck you in the mind

Boy, they fuck you all the time

I fell apart and took my mind with me

Being strung up at the ligaments with cultural derivatives

I fell apart and took my mind with me

Pronounced dead by a nemesis, a doubt without a benefit

I fell apart and took my mind with me

Just a cluster of atoms thrust deep in a chasm

I feel apart, and now your mind is with me

Smoke in your eyes, the world’s a joke in disguise
