lyrics

At least I'm trying something
I'm alone with everyone else
Not alone with myself

Put me in, lock it up, start the countdown
Overwhelmed by the number as they surround
They're in groups, they're in pairs, feel embarrassed
Even though no one knows that I've come around
Take a breath, take a look, take a step in
Take a breath, take a step, then begin again
Soon enough I will cross to the back door
Looking for someone more shaken than I am

I feel okay
Maybe I'll go, but I can't stay
Take me home, take me home now
Maybe I'll stay, but I can't wait
To make it home, make it home now
I feel okay
I'll go, but I can't stay
Take me home, take me home now
Don't feel that great
I'll stay, but I can't wait
To make it home, make it home now

The fresh air, almost there, almost outside
Only hope left to cope on which I confide
Cloud of smoke like a moat, so I'm back in
Now they laugh as I choke, I no longer blend
Nowhere safe in this place if it's just me
So I have to embrace, try adjusting
Make a joke, how I joked, get them laughing
Try to speak, but I broke, not they're laughing at me

I can't be the only one
Who feels weak and overrun
When I'm among the only ones that I know how to fight
Looking for my kind
The more and more I grind
The more I feel confined by a task without a goal
Gotta find control

I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions. I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over. Take a bow, Mega Ran. platinumazure

This album came out of nowhere, and is as epic as the game. There's a grit and true understanding of how the game portrays itself in this music. kai_myst
