Verse 1
Step into my mind, look around, shit is crazy
Disheveled, un-leveled, it's like the devil's got me lately
Rainy days, run a muck, mud covered face
Sunny days run away, swing nun-chuck and mace
Run from the bass, no trace when the beat hits
Three clips, so discrete the music didn't see shit
Sink ships, berserker gone in a frenzy
Uncontrolled rage, I probably need a sensei
Swing the sword steady, never wait 'till your ready
Body light without the head, hit the floor heavy
Scream, never mumble, storm bring, levies crumble
Sound waves born, eject team, ready rumble
Verse 2
Back from the dead, bring dread, got it locked up
Drum to the head, like a gun got 'em chalked up
Ammo stocked up, the words come freely
Hidden to the death, my own reflection can't see me
They asked me if I'm still going crazy
I said maybe because lately I've been feeling a bit zany
Cartoon rhymes, harpoon sharp like shark bite
Cut 'em up like sharp knife
Roadrunner rippin' shit, trying to bite the road
Catch the coyote slippin', Acme dynamite explode
Catch you on the flip side
Riptide, move mountains, others just get by
Spit shine, never with mine, ever severing spines
Letters leveraging minds, even better with time
Time, Never cease
Pick apart opponents speech and shatter every piece
Verse 3
Mangle the drums, darkness strangle the sun
Marksman hit the target, dead shot, slain from the gun
Insane how I come from all angles at once
Regardless of what I'm still taking your lunch
Bully on the beat, beat it bloody red, beets
Lot of bloody red sheets from these bloody red cleats
And I don't even play soccer
Pair of scissors with a knife, call it the rage shocker
In flames, spit enraged, yeah I did that
Fell off the map 'till I came back Sinbad
Riff-raff get slapped, run ask where your friends at
Sit back, click clack, bullets don't ask they yell get back
Turn up the volume
They say I got problems, but don't say I never solve 'em
The voices keep calling, so I'm bound to answer
I'm there even when you don't see me, call me cancer

Incessant Symphony
03:14
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Sick fuck syndrome, sickness symphony
Enter the darkness with centipedes slithering
Entities enter me, rendering vividly
Dreams of viciousness, satisfy sensories
Never censor me, injure for centuries
Corrupt minds, distort pure memories
Cold, disease of the soul
Evil untold, keys to the mold
Unspeakable, teachable, throughout history
Misery glistening, many visit me
Neck hairs bristling, I'm always listening
Offer solutions to problems they present to me
Words menacing, daylight diminishing
Identity hidden within everyone's chemistry
Old, many times took hold
Evil untold, constant control
Hook 1
Dwell in the darkness, midst the aggression
Muse of the heartless, hidden efflorescence
Incessant, incessant, incessant, incessant
Endless sickness symphony never lessens
Eternal presence, past to the present
Every mind, every brain, king to the peasant
Incessant, incessant, incessant, incessant
Endless sickness symphony never lessens
Verse 2
Sick fuck symphony, good heart fallacy
Malice gleams bright, moonlight surrounding me
Darkness set deep, never get it outta me
Enraged like fire, embrace the analogy
Face the conundrum, two faces challenging
Balloting votes, wicked tongue taste brutality
Torn, birth of the storm
For warned, thirst brought to form
Validate violence, riot bring fatality
Callously silence, all those who doubt the beast
Wicked notes ring loud, the sound will drown the screams
Out, sounds sicken, stricken through the galaxy
Forbidden rhythm lives deep inside the mind's fallacy
Inside is nothing, incessant, no finality
Scorn, presence forlorn
Minds torn, incessant was born
Hook 2
Dwell in the darkness, midst the aggression
Muse of the heartless, hidden efflorescence
Incessant, incessant, incessant, incessant
Endless sickness symphony never lessens
Eternal presence, past to the present
Every mind, every brain, king to the peasant
Incessant, incessant, incessant, incessant
Endless sickness symphony never lessens

3. Hidden
Verse 1
Look into the mirror, what do I see
Face full of terror looking back at me
Try to explain my feelings, no one listens
No assistance, since the age of thirteen on a mission
Of self destruction, no self discovery
Suddenly the mirror image distorted from underneath
The mask covered me, sickened, Hidden was conceived
Personality divided bore fruit of deceit
Torn asunder, two minds, two lives
No one understands, no one shares the same plight
Hear the thunder, lightening bolts tear the night
Scream at the sky but it doesn't hear me right
Embrace the darkness, now all smiles fake
Two faced with two fates, two dinner tables, two plates
The dichotomy is real, one face accepted, one forbidden
True story of a boy who grew up to be Hidden
Hook 1
Hidden, two faced, distorted
Hidden, true face contorted
Almost thirty years, still got nothing to give
Happy is a myth, don't give a fuck, let me live
Hidden, Two faces, one name
Hidden, Flip the coin, join the game
No one ever understood when I tried to let 'em in
So I keep it to myself, only when I die will it end
Verse 2
The truth is, I'm ruthless, no consideration in this brain
Only pain, pure disdain for those who live a life full of refrain
Not restrained, life is attrition, Hidden I remain
Not contained or acclaimed, I sit and listen to the rain
Alone at home, but this home is not my home
Not my own, I share it with fraternal clone, all unknown
I've been staring at these walls for twenty years
Never knowing which face to wear to face my fears
Screaming please help me
Substance drowns the tears, no I never cried once
So many drugs I only ever tried once
to truly be healthy
All the rest of my life been blurry, memories fading
Always a hurry, one step from death, enemies waiting
Never take me, forsake me, inside I stay
No metaphor, the raven nevermore, go away
Gone away, heart of the grench but it never grows
Faced the world so much, face became hidden it never shows
Hook 2
Hidden, two faced, distorted
Hidden, true face contorted
Almost thirty years, still got nothing to give
Happy is a myth, don't give a fuck, let me live
Hidden, Two faces, one name
Hidden, Flip the coin, join the game
No one ever understood when I tried to let 'em in
So I keep it to myself, only when I die will it end
Hook 3
Hidden, two faced, distorted
Hidden, true face contorted
Almost thirty years, still got nothing to give
Happy is a myth, don't give a fuck, let me live
Hidden, Two faces, one name
Hidden, Flip the coin, join the game
No one ever understood when I tried to let 'em in
So I keep it to myself, only when I die will it end

In The Dark
02:28

Verse 1
In the dark, living life with no lights on
Every day, every night, feel like the fights on
Paranoid in a void, I can't see shit
Heart beat increasing feeling like I can't breath, shit
On my knees sick, feeling deranged
Words can't describe what I feel in my brain
Cocaine, really did a number on my nerves
Haven't touched it in years but I'm still feeling served
Nightmares, dreams never nice, can't sleep right
Beer is the only thing keeping me alive
Panic button, feel ill, time to take flight
Fear is the only thing that makes me wanna die
Never cry, tears bottled up inside, drowning
Can't breathe, voice is mute, no one can hear the shouting
In crowds, I find myself breathing heavy, counting
Up to ten, begin again, always doubting
Hook 1
In the dark, shadows all around
In the dark, rattled by the sounds
Take a breathe, I can feel my heart beat pound
Blood pumping backwards, dizzy falling to the ground
In the dark, I feel the walls closing in
In the dark, vision steady growing dim
Faces turn to monsters like here we go again
Room spins out of control, feeling like it never ends
Verse 2
Grip tight to my sanity, control is everything
Try to let the sleeping dog lie but I can't let it be
Damaging, twisted thoughts, wicked damage me
I can feel the knocks pounding, incessant hammering
Voices, I can hear them when I sleep
Saying things that I should do and things that I should think
On the brink, an if I snap then its to late
No going back, no chance to clean the slate
I don't want it, the phrase to sum it all up
Screaming silently body hit the floor balled up
Drugs, so many drugs, I can still feel it
Sickness inside, feeling like I'll never heal it
Kill it, kill it, kill the thoughts before they start
Feeling dark, always dark, infatuated with the heart
Always beating, shut it up
Stuff the feelings in a locked box before they run a muck
Hook 2
In the dark, shadows all around
In the dark, rattled by the sounds
Take a breathe, I can feel my heart beat pound
Blood pumping backwards, dizzy falling to the ground
In the dark, I feel the walls closing in
In the dark, vision steady growing dim
Faces turn to monsters like here we go again
Room spins out of control, feeling like it never ends

Amazing

Verse 1
Contrary to belief, I didn't choose this
It chose me, raps were conducive
For you to get to know me, the truth is
I was always homely, reclusive
I live two lives, dream lucid
Contorted mind, snakes of Medusa
Are useless when I use pens to lift roofs, shit
I break barriers, scarier than a noose is
One way to prove the power, I send you to where Proof is
Paint a picture, crawl the wall like Peter Parker quicker
Peter Piper picked a pail of pickles, I just spit the darker scripture
Rip it sicker than a sickle cell anemia
Give 'em hell, amnesia, hand feed 'em like the media
Leave 'em wanting more, face down on the floor
Four bars, fuck 'em up, like xanax times four
That's sixteen, assisting the blind see the light more quickly
When contents consisting of wit, see
Hook 1
The words are amazing
This pen is amazing
Hidden is amazing
What pains me is all the lazy people yelling pay me
This beat is amazing
The dude Drew is amazing
The concepts are amazing
What pains me is all the lazy people yelling pay me
Verse 2
Bars hard to figure like a cell door
Concepts complex, why I never sell more
Fail more, sign me up, trip to outer space
No one lines up to hear the man spit without a face
Dip quick without a trace, outer limits
Diminish a sentence
Because you can't fathom shit without the bass
Enough of that, bring it back to the basics
Handing out lasik, lyrically giving face lifts
Adjacent to rappers that never made it
That make shit because they love it, not so sheep embrace it
Face it, my pace quick, fuck the road I run a trail
This is more about the scenery than the fucking mail
Read the braille, never, blind does not intrigue me
I care about the things I see, not about who sees me
Easy, life is never hard until you set a goal
And find yourself stuck around people you will never know
Hook 2
The words are amazing
This pen is amazing
Hidden is amazing
What pains me is all the lazy people yelling pay me
This beat is amazing
The dude Drew is amazing
The concepts are amazing
What pains me is all the lazy people yelling pay me

Hey
02:12
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Money, I rap like I don't need it
Urge to attack the track and I'm gonna feed it
Heated discussions, busting, I'll never put it down
Hip Hop is not a genre, it's more than just a sound
Time to take down the idols, entitled, divided
Your conscious mind, and all the blind ones denied it
They fight it, but let the truth get you excited
This life was made to live, not just sit around despising
The others, the others
Hey, I'm back like a cliche
He say, always stay away from the she say
The game doesn't need me, I need it
No recognition, still I'll never even leave it
Defeated, never that, indeed it's
A puzzle, I'm hustling to pick up the pieces
Reese's
Verse 2
And most will never know
How it feels to be the boss of your own flow
No shows, I chose to make Hip Hop my side bitch
Not because I'm not passionate, because the size fits
I like it, but I wouldn't dare monetize
Most commercial raps are lies and over dramatized
Not mine, I say whatever the fuck I feel
All real, control the wheel whenever I spill
Oh dear, here he goes again with the preaching
reach inside their minds and let it sink in
Let it sink in
Strengthened, strong voice, speak 'till the beat ends
Recently words been reaching, let 'em seep in
You don't have to be the best to be decent
No matter what anyone says don't let the beast in
Besides it's only opinion, defending against them
Is useless, hey, chunk the deuces

The Modern Tragedy
03:35
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Sometimes I feel like quitting
Nothing specific, the life I'm living
Lost it's rhythm, dimmer vision
Cut the lights off, bad decisions
Take the venom, it's like even when I win
I still feel like I'm not winning
I should have nothing to fuss about, everything gravy
But I don't give a fuck about anything lately
Many friends long gone, past life fading
Makes me question who I am, last in line waiting
I've been waiting for what, it never comes
Give me something, anything, good or bad I'll never run
Turned my life around, picked it up, put it on the tracks
Left it all behind, went underground and never looked back
But along the way I lost something, but I don't know what it is
We never know how much we need it 'till it's lost in the abyss
Many tried but can't replace it, once it's dead and gone
This goes out to those who lost their drive and will to belong
Hook 1
Cup half empty, feelings of envy
We pretend we're better off alone
Watching intently, always defending
Against anyone who tries to feel at home
Alone is a disease, in the cold we freeze
True then lonely never leaves
Still we don't concede, maybe feel it as we scream
Like a strong wind blowing through the leaves
Verse 2
And now it's cool to be depressed
But those who claim it never know what it's like to feel the stress
No rhyme or reason, a feeling so subtle that I forget
And go on with life, full speed running to the end
But that's all it is, a race with no purpose
Make it across the finish line and still feel worthless
Stuff the feeling deep inside with little lies
But it always comes back to the surface
No matter how hard I try, it's never hard enough
No matter how far I go, it's never far enough
They say life is what you make it, an I've made a lot
But this voice inside keeps talking and I can't make it stop
Make it stop, thoughts only fade when the drinks heavy
Severed ties several times, attempt to be steady
But change is doomed to fail unless it's from within
I'm stuck because inside is empty, never full again
Hook 2
Cup half empty, feelings of envy
We pretend we're better off alone
Watching intently, always defending
Against anyone who tries to feel at home
Alone is a disease, in the cold we freeze
True then lonely never leaves
Still we don't concede, maybe feel it as we scream
Like a strong wind blowing through the leaves
Verse 3
Sometimes I wonder why I'm here
No TV show, uncovered fears
Life is not the wonder years
Scream but nobody hears
Wanna leave but it's coming clear
My mind became a prison life sentence and I'm stuck in here
I sold myself for a dime and a magic bean
But money falls short, it can't buy you what you need
We all give up on dreams just to keep our pockets fatter
Like all we see is green, but in the end it doesn't matter
The rat race, and price is steep, no joke
In the end you lose your friends, left with no hope
Disconnected, we're all disconnected
Lives with no meaning, demeaned and disrespected
Feelings of rejection, we've all been rejected
All the mirrors broke, no self reflection
We all have more in common than we know
A fact that's overlooked because we all feel so alone

Virtue
05:29
|

Verse 1
This is the end of everything
Of all that is and will ever be
Never see me carefree, happy go lucky life
Internal world war, brain angry, fucking strife
Fuck the light, turn it off, don't turn it up
Future like a read parchment, go burn it up
Churn 'em up, feelings rage, hurricane winds
Stay numb, always numb, the Novocaine wins
You know the name is Hidden and it's so true
Barely know myself, what makes you think I wanna know you
Darkness my virtue, let the words brew
Spells so dank and dirty that the outcome will hurt you
I dwell in a land, hot like Sudan, the man's wicked
People see something's off about me like a damn Wiccan
Sickened by my vision so I keep the sunglasses on
No need to see the light now that I see that the past is gone
See me passing on in a boat, ride the river Styx
Clinically declared sane, how come I'm still considered sick
Always riddled with bad decisions leaving remnants
Of broken promises and the empty bags they were delivered in
Hook 1
Darkness is a virtue
Darkness is a virtue
Never see me happy in the world I live
Wasn't meant for me, I got nothing more to give
Darkness is a virtue
Darkness is a virtue
Cut the lights off, darkness my only friend
Living life wrong, heartless I wont pretend
Verse 2
Fake smiles, fake faces, fake places
Fake everything, the burden that fate places
When the soul's gone everything left is arbitrary
Ordinary battle scars become hard to bury
Kind of scary, how one can lose the game but never play it
Or how one thing can be so true that we never say it
Never may it be said that I didn't try to be something more
That I didn't given my everything, my spirit to the core
But the floor grew tall, made of glass of my design
And the ceiling grew small from the ravages of time
The ever fated clock that never stops
Ticking time bomb, the neighbor that never knocks
So many thoughts and I don't want a single one
Revert to hermit, arm the locks like a lethal gun
Leaving none behind me, and no one before
When nothing's all that's left, then you know nothing's in store
Nothing more, never more, Edgar's raven speaks the truth
To those who disagree then I propose you go and seek the proof
When darkness is a virtue there's nothing left to come
I struggled to cope with hope but stuck left with none
Hook 2
Darkness is a virtue
Darkness is a virtue
Never see me happy in the world I live
Wasn't meant for me, I got nothing more to give
Darkness is a virtue
Darkness is a virtue
Cut the lights off, darkness my only friend
Living life wrong, heartless I wont pretend
