Pandemonium - Pretty Maids

Smoke puffs are white and piling This head feels like an island I am my own asylum Their stares are beady, but I don't mind Let 'em take their time 'Cause there ain't no new light to shed, no, no Pandemonium calms me down Like an ocean, oh, an ocean, oh And I'm kissing pillow lips Drunk off saccharine potions, oh And nothing really matters 'Cause everybody here is dyin' (mm) Dying out in slow motion (mm) And everybody here is lyin', lyin' Silently detonating emotions Read the spaces between the lines Mind your own business while I grow mine No, it's never personal Maybe that's the problem We loosen up every rung on the ladder Serve up a smile on a silver platter No one needs a pillar Just a painkiller or two 'Cause everybody here is dying (mm) Dying out in slow motion (mm) And everybody here is lying, lying Silently detonating emotions We're dying in the dark It's written there in the stars You're understood by so little and loved only from afar And counting blessings is hard I don't quite know where to start The gold is new, but the gray Well, that's just state of the art And bottoms up to skeletons all bottled up Always going when the going gets too tough, oh Everybody here is dyin' (mm) Dying out in slow motion (mm) And everybody here is lyin', lyin' Silently detonating emotions 'Cause everybody here is dyin' (mm) Dying out in slow motion (mm) And everybody here is lyin', lyin' Silently detonating emotions 'Cause everybody here is dyin'

Something special about me, you can already tell the energy is different Confidence is at the highest level, I don't ever see it dipping Try me if you wanna, guarantee though you gon' wish you hadn't did it That's a war that you could never win, but hey, I like the optimism Giving over half my life to this, I think I made a good decision Trust my gut, I hear it talking, then I know it's time for me to listen Mastermind consistent, matching my commitment, that's not realistic Ayy, feature presentation, what they came to see, I open up the curtain, woah Oh, my Pandemonium, it's showtime Got they noses up, I know why Jealous of me 'cause the flow nice Did it all without a co-sign Shoot, I always hit the bull's-eye Barely even putting effort in this, effortless Imagine if I did try, woah Acknowledge me or not That don't really make no difference to me, I Operate the same no matter who's around me Who's around me is important to me, I Keep my enemies at arm's length, but Close enough to make me feel safe, my Diligence can't be competed with, an easy win for me This is a small taste of what What I'm capable of doing with my talent, stretching my imagination Watch it turn a small idea into something that you have to (what?) Tip your hat to when you see it, the whole package ain't got nothing missing Check off every box, it's unavoidable at this point, don't you act like (what?) You don't see me out here making waves, I got a air about me I don't play the game the way they want me to, they tell me, "Take a left," I take a (what?) Right, I'm not the one to pick a fight with, try and bully me, make you regret it quick The only person I allow to push me around is myself Body language, read it well Tweeting on your face, I'm flipping through your pages You don't have to scream and yell It's clear to me, yeah, I can tell The front you put on isn't real That poker face ain't hiding nothing new The hand you have before the cards were dealt I got what they lack, first in every class Never come in last, game is on my back Wifey on my lap, she my better half Heavy when I stack, pockets getting fat Passion never left, say it with my chest Got a problem? "Yes", meet me in the flesh You don't cut the check? I don't do the set Not a fan of threats, always been direct Nothing but the best, rarely do the press Promise me the world, not holding my breath They want me to fail, haven't done it yet Stacking up the bread, thankful 'cause I'm blessed Sharpest in the shed, pen is cutting-edge I get in the booth, perfect, nothing less Key to my success? Keep a level head "We want something fresh," what you think this is? What you think this is? Deadly with the raps, how could you forget? Thought I might've left, thought I might've quit Thought I hung it up, thought I, think again Petty? That depends, what's the latest trend? I don't have a clue, I don't follow them They just follow me, keep 'em on the edge Keep 'em on they toes, keep 'em wondering Keep 'em wanting more, eating out my hand Don't look at the score, don't look in the stands Focused on my goals, execute the plan Beat me at my game? Never, not a chance Walk you through my pain, show you who I am Don't care what it pays, loyal to my brand Foot is off the brake, stepping on the gas No one at my pace, catch me if you can Far from done, got so much left to give you Not the man I was, that person detrimental 2020 me could never hold a candle To the present-day me standing here before you Overstep, destroy, you give up, can't afford to Keep my standards high, ain't changing that for no one Digging deep, still got that hunger, press record You hear it in my voice, can't let the fame and fortune Get the best of me, see clearly what's important Not impressed with me? Ain't looking for endorsements Dropping masterpieces left and right, ignore the Hate, life testing me, passing with flying colors Always been unique, can't be no dime a dozen I take pride in this, won't catch me cutting corners Have no tolerance for ignorance, I heard you Lost your confidence in me, this should restore it, pandemonium

I've been drifting around this world a stranger Been lost in empty space I've been reaching out to find my saving grace And I've lived a life of no direction I've walked the endless mile I was down and out until I met you child I want you to take me hold me Shape me as you please Want you to love me I'm down on bended knees I will be clay inside your hands I long for your embrace Let the light of love Shine upon my face I've been tangled up in disillusion Been stuck inside this shell I was blind to anything around myself And I've been tied up in this no mans land This empty wilderness Found the kiss of life in the fire from your breath [CHORUS] And finally found that my destiny Didn't crash on tireless waves Now that love has been blessing me I'm unchained [CHORUS]

Written by Brian May In the year of 39 assembled here the Volunteers In the days when lands were few Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn The sweetest sight ever seen And the night followed day And the story tellers say That the score brave souls inside For many a lonely day sailed acloss the milky seas Neeer looked back, never feared, never cried Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you Write your letter in the sand For the day I take your hand In the land that our grandchildren knew In the year of 39 came a ship in from the blue The volunteers came home that day And they bring good news of a world so newly born Though thier hearts so heavily weigh For the earth is old and grey To a new home we'll away But my love this cannot be For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year Your mother's eyes in your eyes cry to me Chorus Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand For my life Still ahead Pity me
