@pineapplegland: thx for lending your ears

I got sore and boarded up the door of my cave
Been restorin my force for forty whole days
Forty foot waves or warnins of world war
Couldnt force me out
I ignore what I've heard before
Solo
Free from interruptions
Lackin the grace for meaningless discussions
Lackin the face to be fake for introductions
They tell me who I look like
And then I look disgusted
The bar's Darwinian 
I do the limbo
Starved for your opinion
Not
So miss me at the function
I'd Fail to find the kindness to entertain assumptions
I can't smile or or even feel somethin
At the pinnacle of cynical regard for these bumpkins
Ive quarantined my tongue and teeth
Been underground see underneath


I gotta reconfigure
Fell into my cycle once the loop had gotten triggered
I'm shiftin bitter to bigger
Little by little I think I'm gettin the picture 
But I still flinch at every camera flash
Photophobic ruin photos cuz I cant relax
I hold no candle to a man of wax
Back in action all my vanity's a handicap
Between fate and genetics
Tryna shape an aesthetic
I can feel for a day or so
Reveal what I've vetted
Conceal whats pathetic 
Protect it the way i know
Is it real if I edit
I just feel I'd regret it
If i said what should stay below
I appeal for your credit
And the feel when I get it
Is just somethin i hate to show
Feelin my fatal flaws
Feelin whats not evolved
Feelin I lost a gift
Feelin I dropped the ball
Feelin I oughta quit
Feelin I lost the call
Some of us get a lift
Some of us got to crawl
Lots of impediments
Blockin my resonance
Locked in my residence
I Spit futility
All of the evidence
All of my precedents
Say that the lesson I'll get is
Humility
