False Image - Henry Taylor

Let me say some shit on my mind lately

Cause if I didn’t spit I would go crazy

Cause on the daily, I feel I’m trailing

Friends I follow and enemy’s play me

Well I hope so anyway, so they know the things I say

Even if they don’t know they’re directed their way

But I’m okay, though in my room I stay

As thoughts they stray towards better days

What i say is not a lie

But the day my mother died

I became other guy

So if you wonder why, I barely go outside

Inside i’m not fine

And i’m too shy, sick of living a lie

Just trying to get back to basics

Mistakes I’ve made, I’m trying to face em

Faith in people I’ve wrongly placed in

Reciprocated by my hatred

Got to let go of that

Get back on track

Plot it out, make a map

Straight back on the attack

But lately shadows are clouding my vision

And the words I’m writing, not even I listen

And I fall back into my depression

Like in school sat at the back of lessons

Always felt alone my whole life

That’s why I know ill never have a wife

Even with my family even with a sibling

Just stay away from them instead of squabbling

Always thinking what’s the matter with him

As inside my mind, yea its like a prison

Yet I stay on my mission under these conditions

Cause hoping and wishing never achieved anything

But neither did inadequacy

So angry inside i lost my identity

The guy I portray every day Isn’t me

We would never speak, if you ever got too meet

The guy I try to keep inside of me

A side of me that you’ll never see

If I let him out, true I might feel free

But then I’ll be alone and have nobody

That monster, wants to, leave this place

Just use this music to get sane

Never intended to gain any fame

But the fact remains that if any came

Would want every ounce so my life would change

Not that i don’t want this life I’m living

But i would be lying if i wasn’t admitting

Want the fame for my name, though thats not why I’m driven

Want to make stuff i like, like music that I listen

So am i copy or is that just inspiration?

If i write the same lyrics is that parallel thinking?

Or am a copy, the fake that i hate

Want to be wanted

Not for riches to be flaunted

But if I had it wouldn’t i flaunt it

Just to show I’m good at something

Doesn’t matter what it comes with

Doesn’t matter all the pain it could bring

-desperate to be the best at anything

Yea, cause I’ve never been

Confidence not shattered its devastated

Because the only person that i’m really hating

Is myself because I’m pathetic

Yea i said it

I know its ridiculous that im spitting this

A kid from rammy, who had everything given him

Making music though he can’t sing, yea give it in

For fuck sake man its so embarrassing

Like when someone brings it up in conversation

Want to brag but i go into my shell then

Put the album back on the shelf then

Its not for you, is so my problems can be dealt with

Cause i can’t talk to strangers, that ain’t right

At least in real life, only on the mic

So am i the most honest person I know

Or is it a facade?

is it just for show?

Projecting an image i think you should see

When in reality I don’t know what’s the real me

Yet the trait i hold dearest is my honesty

But how can i be honest when i don’t know what the truth is

This album isn’t going to matter after next week

But that doesn’t matter if it matters to me

Trapped in the past but how history will remember me

Cause I feel like the villain in my own life story
