Layered ft. VANPiR2 Lyrics

The concept of self is a multi-faceted conundrum

See, a person cannot be boiled down to a core identity

That identity is forever changing

As there are layers upon layers that go into the formation of making someone who they truly are

Hello, hi, they call me Krook, it's nice to meet ya

And that's my voice that's coming up out your speakers

You might remember me from deeper than skin or

Fight the fear and I am here to murder ink with a pen

And I want to take this motherfucking opportunity

To talk about the different layers that are you and me

I want you to see the good, bad and the ugly

They say I've gone crazy, fuck it, then I must be

Layered

Hello, it's VANPiR Squared, it's nice to meet ya

And that's my voice that's been blowing out your speakers

Representing the angst deep inside you

If ignored, it will morph into a kaiju

I hope you know every layer serves a purpose

Even if some of us hide below the surface

Krook, you're not crazy for writing your thoughts out in pen

I usually scribble mine out in blood with a grin

You all remember me from deeper than skin

Or perhaps demonized, where madness begins

See, there isn't much difference between person A and B

We all get dark thoughts, especially me

So when you're sick and tired of dealing with the haters

Kindly ask yourself, is it worth all the prayers

Or perhaps it's time to tell the naysayers

Stop pealing away your layers

Layered

Hold up, hey Vanpir

Yes, Krook

Let me talk to you for a minute

Okay

If you're supposed to be the bad, then what does that make me

It makes you the calm and collected, day-to-day part of the personality

Damn, then I guess I've been steering these individuals all wrong

What do you mean

I too have supported uprising in every song

But if we're both spreading chaos, does that mean we are truly crazy

I don't know, maybe, but in order for us to both belong, do we have to stick to our separate parts of the song

I don't know, do you think the world's ready

Well, I'm ready, so stay ready, so you ain't gotta get ready

Hell with it then Let's give them the combo to finish up the song

Hold up our mic's been on

Layered

Now let me talk for a minute

This ain't no image or gimmick

I'm in it to win it

Vocabulary or rhyming words to the infinite

The image so vivid, the brain is complicit

The system intricate or simplistic

Pimp shit with some Limp Bisket

Or maybe is it punk-rock mixed with a little Tupac

Either way you know we gonna kick it

While I walk around this bitch

Like your boy got a big dick

Two personalities both with a conscience

Lost in the world and they tired of the nonsense

Yep

Man they tired of the nonsense

See a person can not be boiled down to core identity

The combinations are too infinitely vast to prescribe to the notion of a single label

Unless that be..

Humanity
