stasis 02:22
[Chorus] You burn me like fire Best believe I'm breathing through the wire Your hatred tends to bring me back You make me wanna light shit up, light shit up [Verse] Okay in my palm is the reason I don't need therapy Grounded like a monk when I pop this amphetamine Some call it chaotic, some call it good energy I think I'm beyond it Fear is my accomplice What have you accomplished and do you have the recipe? Only time I rest in peace - when I bury hatchets How do you feel safe when you've purged all your madness? That's when you get cancelled Modern day male better limit your attachments Harder to forget when you dream more vividly Pictures in my mind is like art straight from Italy This a matriarch and it's got quite a thing for me You tend to get followed when you seem to have a handle Told you that they love you when they needed you distracted Holup Now you're in therapy Popping these amphetamines Thinking it's good energy Drowning out your passion [Chorus] You burn me like fire Best believe I'm breathing through the wire Your hatred tends to bring me back You make me wanna light shit up, light shit up [Radio skit: Sage] "It's Sage, Radio X and apparently there's a riot going on right now. I told you we will not be stopped! This is a revolution people. Alternative rock is leading the way and I'm personally going to smash your windows!"

[Refrain] I know all there is to know 'bout you I know all there is to know I know all there is to know 'bout you, 'bout you [Chorus: Darwin Rev] Uber you to my apartment You come over in a heart beat Closed the door and then you locked it I said I wanna get my cock licked You say I treat you like an object, girl Who be feeding you this nonsense, girl Pussy like nipsey I pop it, girl Our relationship is toxic You say it's weighing on your conscience [Pre-verse: FOREST Xo] Why you act so silly Can't stand you, but you're pretty though Now I'm grabbing on your titties You claim to love it, girl give me more Made it clear you're an option I set my intentions All you wanted was attention The cycle is endless Thought you found my achilles I know more than you revealing Tried to fuck the crew - cliche Chicago kid with the BJ I got snipers in the city It's a red dot, not a hickey [Verse: FOREST Xo] You should really be in parliament The way you fuck the whole nation Pretending that you ain't confident Bet your friend's on the same shit Tried to play me like accordion Yeah yeah need no audience Always asking where forest is Heard he moved on to better things Everyday gotta stay cautious I had the gun so I cocked it I'm really moving with options Everyday gotta stay cautious Uber you to my apartment Tell me who taught you this nonsense Yeah yeah [Refrain] I know all there is to know 'bout you I know all there is to know I know all there is to know 'bout you, 'bout you [Verse: FOREST Xo] Tell me why it's never brief when we're talking I know you just need a piece of the pie You know that you ain't the only one starving I need your all 'cause it's not near enough My homie Darwin had warned me about you Doubt that he lied to have you to himself Know this is stroking your ego But tonight you'll be stroking yourself [Chorus: Darwin Rev] Uber you to my apartment You come over in a heart beat Closed the door and then you locked it I said I wanna get my cock licked You say I treat you like an object, girl Who be feeding you this nonsense, girl Pussy like nipsey I pop it, girl Our relationship is toxic You say it's weighing on your - [Outro: Sample] I just really wanna spend the rest of my life with you Don't care if I fight, girl I'll fight with you As long as you're the one by my side, my side

[Chorus: Aidan-Luc Marryatt & FOREST Xo] I'm so hurt, I'm a little bit broken inside I'm a bird with my wings clipped and I cannot fly So in turn you're a witness to my blurry crimes Not a person, I'm a ghost in disguise I'm chasing every idea I had to bury my fears Shit is scary out here but You know word is bond Travelling alone In the midst of dawn I might lose control [Verse: Aidan-Luc Marryatt] My frozen heart don't react to the light It's cracking and breaking, but I can't melt the ice overnight I thought the snow would be easier to walk through The sun came up but I still couldn't find my youth Maybe I'll relate, but I can't hesitate I'm done second guessing Hoping you're my lesson Before I meet my fate, I'm gon' celebrate My death 'cause that's what it takes To get out of the system (prehistoric bird sounds) [Chorus: Aidan-Luc Marryatt & FOREST Xo] I'm so hurt, I'm a little bit broken inside I'm a bird with my wings clipped and I cannot fly So in turn you're a witness to my blurry crimes Not a person, I'm a ghost in disguise I'm chasing every idea I had to bury my fears Shit is scary out here but You know word is bond Travelling alone In the midst of dawn I might lose control [Darius Fontaine - Inversion Therapy radio ad] ...

[Radio X: Sage] ... [Verse] From the womb to the tomb Constantly consoling myself Feel like a whole constellation Ain't no holes in my belt Came home to empty shelves in the fridge Momma crying on the phone But it feels like it's me in the cell Don't tell me 'bout water bills Saw the hills from my climax Worried 'bout my dimes, bitch Tell me where your rhymes at I've been unfaithful I fucked with other genres It's funny how this bitch Hip Hop came with that drama I'm only thankful, gave me more than two handfuls Not to mention how she helped me see through such trauma I took some wicked steps, but I got no regrets Sorry to the church, but y'all put my people through hell As I evolve, seen the path I walk lead to myself Never mind that Let's talk about the real issue Family now calling Asking how to deal with you You should've asked me that in 3rd grade or any grade You could've called me on my birthday or any day Tears on my face pour like heavy rain Big cuz just made it on the Forbes under 30 So now they're concerned My other cousins got corporate jobs So now they're being firm This shit is clear to me I had to go steal toilet so your shit is not sincere to me Don't bother or pity him Y'all got millions, but he's one in a millennia

[Chorus] We're just living on the outside Tryna see the sunrise While everybody is just hurting Tryna find a purpose Don't tell me that I'm here 'cause I fear hell My mind has disappeared now I fear myself [Refrain] Sarab Shakti Sarab Shakti Sarab Shakti Namo Namo [Verse] Yeah been in the pit Tryna go higher Spirit within Was born in the fire Free from my sins Ain't living to die I live to say fuck the rules I can't live without it I can't leave till I learn to own the silence We're on the outside Tryna get by Solid in my mood The darks ide of the moon With my help Solid in my mood It's the darks ide of the moon [Chorus] We're just living on the outside Tryna see the sunrise While everybody is just hurting Tryna find a purpose Don't tell me that I'm here 'cause I fear hell My mind has disappeared now I fear myself

about

Stasis is an introverted phase of spiritual, emotional, mental and/or physical suspension when one experiences a transformation. This is a collection of songs delving into my period of stasis.

Themes include anxiety, grief, alienation and ambition. This is a lowkey project meant to resonate a safe space where one can reflect and address uncomfortable truths about self and existence.
