Adorno Lyrics - Alyssa Marie

I am the portrait, the artist and the paintbrush 

the canvas and the colors, cover all the bitter pain up 

change enough, keep the face that they trust 

when confronted with the lies, "it just never came up" 

blame lust, put it all on human nature 

shift the weight from human choice 

to thank you now and screw you later 

Say it's justified, don't need another rock to sleep on 

just need a clean conscience to rock me to sleep, a sweet song 

to lullably the conscious, and drownout the sub- 

(sub)-conscious like a drug that's more honestly a rug 

with no space left beneath it, making a bed of secrets 

sleeping until the day I don't taste the revenge, I breathe it 

it's life, it keeps me going, it's the dawn 

so that living through this night ain't quite as hopeless as I thought 

when you taught, I listened, you walked me through your mission 

and kept me on the free side of the bars within this prison 

you told me I have vision, you said that I should use it 

then you wrote me a prescription and you bettered how I viewed it 

just a pair of lenses, still my vision, just a clearer sight 

an optic view so microscopic I can see the parasites 

attaching to my back and tryna catch a free ride 

you pointed them out but left the rest for me to decide 

it was my path to travel, you just laid the gravel down 

opened my eyes, there's only one side on this battleground

I am the stanza, the poet and the ink pen 

the paper and the phrases that I know may never sink in 

but you're the hand that guides the pen that forms the letters 

and the mind that turns the letters to a rhyme of your vendetta 

but it's mine too, you helped see that with a new light 

then recapped when it's too bright to see passed to the truth like 

you do, right when I lose sight, you take my hand to guide me 

said instead of straining mine, you'll be my eyes and stand beside me 

so the times I can't decide, you help me find direction 

shine the light and showed me how to really look at my reflection 

made me see that I'm soldier, also showed me what I'm doing wrong 

I was holding tools with nothing I could use them on 

but you gave me a purpose, helped me to find my voice 

then told me the words to speak with the freedom and right of choice 

because it's my decision, I'm the one that gets to decide 

I pick what bubble to fill next to answers that you provide 

you tell me who's telling lies, you pick when it's right or wrong 

you say it's for my protection, you tell me what life I want 

but I'm free, right? 

If this cage is to keep them at bay, 

not keep me inside it, then why you holding that key right? 

Free... right. To do only what you suggest to me 

Anyone tryna say you're against me's the real enemy 

Saying it's just break us apart 

the light is blinding you say my fragile site is only safe in the dark 

but in the dark I'm just as blind the only difference is, I choose it 

I'd rather lose it while seeing than keep it to never use it 

if it's my path to travel, I'm the one that lays the gravel down 

open my eyes, there's more than one side on this battleground 

holding my back to the wall, telling them "no, you can't save me" 

nothing or no one at all, 

till you arrived and told me to break free, to break free
