MANGATA (2025 Remaster) - Henry Bowen
Lyrics by：Henry Lee Bowen
Composed by：Henry Lee Bowen
I just slept 7 to 7
I used to make beats in detention
When I was 14
I made my hands clean
Went to get communion
Because it's oh so humbling
On my knees for something bigger than me
I been invested in my self
Daily and nightly
Investing in a new reality
Bold as brass groping opportunities by the horns
My head into the mirror glass only feel my crown of thorns
Realness always wins
I confess on all my sins
Told myself that I would stop
No longer concerned with whose on top
They been more into substance abuse
Then making something with substance
If you calling on me talk to the answer machine
I been searching inside of my soul for answers whilst also tying to stay clean
I recently put all my stars in line
Found out that none of my beliefs are actually mine
My personality
Only been my personal reality
Me and all these fools
Always fall into the same cycles
I never had a hold of the handle's bar
Ah
Flowing in-between between being an empath
And taking the wrong path
Whatever counts as trauma
Doesn't really matter
I got things holding me back
I'll strip it all off
I'll strip it all off
I can no longer hate people if they showing ambition
Though respectfully I need to fulfil my own vision
In the midst of my isolation
I am creating more and doubting less
Because I'm no longer relying on validation
Somewhere to go
Somewhere to go
Somewhere to go
How could I be mad I fumbled all these girls not everybody can be compatible
How could I be mad when I got humbled by them boys
When I forgot to slip my Adderall
You don't have to understand me
You don't have to
You don't have to understand me
All these lessons that I took home I stay adaptable
When I finally got hit by maturity
Only then I realised the choices I made in naivety
I'm sorry if I hurt anybody that was the old me
Tripping over my ego I fell terribly
15 13
I just laid down my life over these past 19 tracks
Feel free to use them to cover your backs
Listen
Listen
There'll be truths you will uncover and some you'll never know
But you can always come back here when you need somewhere to
Go
