After years of feeling like everyone had done me wrong or feeling like I'm better cause I did or didn't do certain things, I eventually came to the place where I had to look at my own detrimental decisions, how they effected others and led me to my current position

lyrics

I lied a lot when I was little liked to cop from shops & not drop a nickel
lifted with 5 fingers was fickle hocked spittle
fiddled with brittle shit til it split in 2
principles of karma hard to swallow
impossible not to follow and listen to
hypocritical complainin' later how fibbin' takers get picky
spit in my face and break my shit up too
who am I to sympathize with opposition whose rise is in my demise
is what I'm thinkin' cruel intentions protectin' my prizes
despisin' what I've shifted to bein' seein' I cry for reasons
I smiled prior cause I was positioned with contradiction
believin' cleavin' leavin' feelin' different this season

Hook: All I find is I must face my own eyes

I ain't no better than ever y body I see why we all wrong and flawed
in some form? or other ignorin' causes callin' motherfuckers frauds n
act appalled attract applause and credit want reward and merit
for effort forgettin' our faults have led to detriment before
and will some more I'm sure I hope it don't but won't edit it from stored
memories lessons be lettin' me know I've grown
instead of overdosed on regrets and deficits and scores
am I measurin' up with the proletariat? what am I comparing with?
and for? adore the best of shit abhor the torn and errors with
the sentiment my boo boos could be used to improve
be better to/too not better than them.

Hook

My eyes feel I failed my ideal I deal but fear fair
would mean I'd reap pairs and 3s of fares be bare and barely
bear to stare at me not tear at me where I be
not where I dreamed my wares are where?
it wears on me I dare compare how can I free my cares?
I wear vanity, damagin' sanity can't stand to be aware of
humanity, fantasy relieves the agony, leads to apathy atrophy
leaves anatomy scantily clad has em mad at me
rapidly draggin' me through travesties avidly seek family
to stand with me speak candidly reach for peace from weak
pageantry distractin' me from seein' back at me

Raggedy &?

Formerly known as LMNOP; Raggedy &? is like the drama class drop out who never found a place in the made up, glossed over, airbrushed, costumed school of hard shots where everyone is sexy and famous. Not made of plastic, Raggedy &? is made of fabric (and yarn and buttons n what not); a real throw back that makes you wanna go back to the days when things felt less phony. ... more
