Cocoon (feat. Amalia Walrond)
Ley Speaks
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Still in my cocoon I wonder if it's in Gods plan or do I write for the views? And maybe if I refine my art I'll be really good at my craft I'm learning to leave the illusions The instant gratification Bathing in likes When instead I need to shower my body with positive vibes Energy and not pride With the same energy I give to the outside Inside there is light Where the seed has been planted and not buried Awakenings for your eyes, all 3 Intrinsically I speak peace, love and alchemy (Following a period of hibernation A streak of light has burst through the cracks of the cocoon The process of Metamorphosis is nearing completion...) Finally breaking outta my shell 10 Years ago I was breaking up with Michelle Probably the reason I started chasing for girls Tell me the reason all my relationships failed Gradually weaving myself in my own cocoon The mandem were baffled My siblings too! Please don't cry sis When I was suffering from an identity crisis I was avoiding the people I wanted closer But still found the nerve to say "I want closure" I'm not looking for sympathy I'm just tryna understand my roots Because where you see a family tree I see people who branch out and leave I am the flower and the gardener The artwork and the artist The lion cub and the caterpillar, clawing out of this shell I became a social butterfly The Jekyll to my Hyde, they don't know I hide the other guy See I'm way too emotional to go on like a thug But way too solid to be asking for a hug So how do I approach a desire to be touched? When that seems to coincide with my fear to be loved? Filled with regret every time that I fall But failing hurts less than not trying at all That 'what if' feeling is so powerful Which is why I'm extra careful every time that I talk Speaking from the bottom of my heart never comes easy But maybe they will listen if I put it in my EP? Nomadic Libaax once told me 'They wait on my words because of the weight of my words' Believe me I don't lie but if the truth hurts then call me Pinocchio Cause I was so desperate to be real Still, mastering the art of only speaking When my words are more valuable than being mute Still, relearning to stop speaking over people Isn't it funny how silence speaks volumes? And empty barrels make the most noise? I have, 2 ears and one mouth, that's to listen more than Ley Speaks I once asked a wise person a question and got nothing... I guess saying nothing is better than saying anything There was a time I'd rather say something below the belt than waistlines... I just wanted that satisfactory feeling of finishing a piece Knowing it was loaded with heat Then hope they tell me I'm cold "Why don't you make your art official? You're named Gabriel, cause you're not artificial I love the transparency, brother your heart is crystal" I just play it humble, I'm tryna master rituals Focused on the internal Ascending from my cocoon But as much as I'd like to dissociate from the external It is virtually impossible not to conform to society When my name is so easily discoverable on banking Education and personal data systems Plus you can find me on the web Embedded to my socials But avoiding phonecalls I guess sometimes I just don't wanna be social When I was locked away in my cocoon This pen was my rehabilitation I know you hear me through these bars I just hope you read between the lines... I just hope you read between the lines
