[Intro]
There’s a disconnect
A mountain in the middle
I climb up half way
Live with the blade inside
All the time
I try
And I choke
A flat line

[Pre-Chorus]
Speak again these crossed out messages
Look into my eyes, see that I have no language
Anguish, lie so I could see again
Visit those left around for me to bet a friend
Fore arms covered in hospital bands
Looking in the killing field
They waiving in from the stands
It's more real than how I feel when I have no language
Anguish, I’ll tell you with my body then

[Chorus]
I choke old smoke
Tryna strip an old angle, gonna build a new language
These words I try to lend don’t make no difference
Two kinds of empty hands
Both reaching out for a new language
[Verse 1]
In need of new piping
Come and show me something
The people are the players
The buildings are the stories
No language foundation
The ones that they were given (The ones that they were given)
The ones that were taken (They're taken)
The blades inside
The blades inside, bet

[Pre-Chorus]
Speak again these crossed out messages
Look into my eyes, see that I have no language
Anguish, they hacked into my fair share
Can't function when they made out of plastic
Forearms covered in hospital bands
Looking in the killing field
They waiving in from the stands
It's more real than how I feel when I have no language
Anguish, I’ll tell you with my body then

[Chorus]
I choke old smoke
Tryna strip an old angle, I'm gonna build a new language
These words I try to lend don’t make no difference
Two kinds of empty hands
Both reaching out for a new language
[Verse 2]
Kick in the pain or the framework
I could spell it out laymen’s terms
Wood to build or wood to burn
Brick layer can become a brick slayer
Layer by layer, racist foundation
Kick it out, watch the old legs shaking
New language

[Outro]
The old one had me choking
I’m done coping, lit it up open
New fire from the old world, broken
