lyrics

Carcinogenic
by Karl Olson

v1.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
But it also makes it easier for the heart to wonder
Don't know if I can take it any longer
But I know I gotta take it if I'm to get stronger

Better faster harder and a bard, sir
Also a president like I'm Jimmy Carter
But should I have leave, before I ever depart her
I want to make it clear, she's my firestarter

The most valuable otakette in my life
And one day I'll be strong enough to ease her strife
Til then I always thank her cause eases mine
Soothing my troubled mind until the day I find

The confidence to unlock all my potential
And rise above being annoying and referential
She's essential, yes, now I say that freely
And she's a fly mc just like O.R.'s wheelie

ch.
I've been unlocking all of my chains
Cut the ties that bind me to growing pains
Gonna take it the top, gonna start my reign
Because I finally recognize my domain

And it's not simple task, but I don't care
I just know that I want to be right there
Myself unfiltered, truly authentic
Anything less is carcinogenic

v2.
And this might be not be nerd / to be direct and open
But I don't care about perception / I'm no longer hopin'
To be perceived like / a perfect angel
I'm just a human being / where both love and pain dwells

As such I no longer need / to front non-stop
There's no reason to cop / like I'm the king on top
Won't fish for compliments either / cause I know I'm good
So now's the curtain's dropped / just like I know it should

I've removed the distortion / so I turn up my amp
Bare my soul and let it shine / like the Wonderlamp
Ask for help when I need it / offer it when I can
And it's because of her / that this change began

But I'll carry it forward / til I know who I am
I'll fight without pause / cause I'm ready to slam
And this is not a scam / it's just a rebirth
Cause I finally appreciate / my own self-worth
