Cream of the Crop

Hey you, are you sleeping in the woods?
Hey you, are you sleeping like you should?
Are we pandas on camels or birds in a flock?
Are we caricatures, are we cream of the crop?

Started at the bottom of the page
Skipped right to the ending for a glimpse of your fate
Do you get the better of the fame?
Or do you let it shatter all the bonds that you've made?

You love that staff, I get the whack, my ass bamboo
I see the zebra fl-fl-flustered in the zoo
You go from green to red and mean then down to blue
We're on the tenth, is it the end or chapter two?

Hoping, when it feels like you've been chosen
You keep your ego from exploding
Check yourself and you'll be rolling on

No sleep, I feel dead
Blend me in the wall, merge with bed
My mind is mush and I'm leaping out the back of my head
When my own critique is all I've read

Give it some time, you may be selling out somebody
Stick to your guns and never sell out 'cause you want it
When it gets heavy you can bail out, regather
Take a beat and come back steadier than ever

They'll only know you by your disguise
Don't have to show them every single side
Make it so you won't need an alibi
When the pitchfork comes out, you'll be alright

Hey you, are you sleeping in the woods?
Hey you, are you sleeping like you should?
Are we pandas on camels or birds in a flock?
Are we caricatures, are we cream of the crop?

Hey you, are you sleeping in the woods?
Hey you, are you sleeping like you should?
Are we pandas on camels or birds in a flock?
Are we caricatures, are we cream of the crop?

Hoping, when it feels like you've been chosen
You keep your ego from exploding
Check yourself and you'll be rolling on

Don't sell yourself short, this is your moment
They'll only know you by your disguise
Don't have to show them every single side
Make it so you don't need an alibi

Give it some time, you may be sellin' out somebody
Stick to your guns and never sell out 'cause you want it so bad
It's heavy, bail out, regather
Take a beat and come back steadier than ever

Big bangers, swang thangers go to shows
Straight bops, don't rot, you should know
Big bangers, swang thangers go to shows
Straight bops, all I got, you should know

Synergy

No frowns around, I'm now an older clown
I think I honked my spleen
The money came to answer my prayers
If you're filming me piss it's probably best
I stop the stream
My colon is golden, eyes they gleam

Waking up
Courage in my cup
Last was night was rough
Don't remember much
Waking up
Courage in my cup
Last night was rough
Doing what I love

Running on fumes, what can I do?
Waiting for my score to come through
Desperate for some motivation
Running on fumes, checking my views
Scrolling for a comment that proves
I don't need more motivation

I'm locked in
I'm stocked up, often
I'm shopping, my face is frosted

I'm living life as if I'm already dead
I'm spilling cups and then I'm f*cking the fed

I'm locked in, and topped up often
No caution, my pace is toxic
I'm living life as if I'm already dead
Open and shut, you know I gave it my best

Was feeling panicked so I got myself a knife
Then I felt empty, so I went and got myself a wife
I tried to learn about the meaning of my life
But I couldn't quite decide on which good book to buy

'Cause I'm like that, priceless, finest
Ice white platypus
Blessing the things that I touch
Worship me, worship my stuff
Fitted with a gimmick, make a cynical wow
Many men went in it, but they couldn't get out
All of the things that we touch
Suck all the life out of us

Running on fumes, what can I do?
Waiting for my score to come through
Desperate for some motivation
Running on fumes, checking my views
Scrolling for a comment that proves
I don't need more motivation

I'm locked in
I'm stocked up, often
I'm shopping, my face is frosted

I'm living life as if I'm already dead
I'm spilling cups and then I'm f*cking the fed

I'm locked in, and topped up often
No caution, my pace is toxic
I'm living life as if I'm already dead

I'm living life, I'm living life, as if I'm already dead
I'm living life, I'm living life, as if I'm already dead

Hole in the world, holding some pearls
Making it tough 'cause I'm never enough

Hole in the earth, sleep on my perch
Take some time off to forget what you're worth? Never

Holy Ghost Spirit

Get caught, go rot
I think you've been given a head-shot
Red dot, no knock
So hop in the coffin and give up

I'm feeling they fell on a feast
Took a chunk and a bite and a piece
Dull knife, no slice
You're nearing the end of your life, bye-bye

Don't expect to write anything in spite
Colorful insinuations tend to be inflammatory
Don't expect to mind where you go tonight
Don the mask and hide the past away

Off the attack, give a little slack
Breathe a little deeper, watch my tone
Off the attack, I don't want it back
Fatal flaws are better left alone

Oh, does everybody need to pay for their lowest choke?
Want to be a bigger man and indulge some hope

Zooming through the haze
I'll sleep when I'm awake
Ethylene invasions
Gone away for days
Basking in the shade
Waiting for my golden shoes

Get caught, go rot
I think you've been given a head-shot
Red dot, no knock
So hop in the coffin and give up

I'm feeling they fell on a feast
Took a chunk and a bite and a piece
Dull knife, no slice
You're nearing the end of your life, bye-bye

Off the attack, give a little slack
Breathe a little deeper, watch my tone
Off the attack, I don't want it back
Fatal flaws are better left alone

Oh, does everybody need to pay for their lowest choke?
Want to be a bigger man and indulge some hope

I'm equipping crops, in it 'til it stops
Innocent insipid idol goes
Carrot on my smock, veggies in my socks
Wearing every kind of farm type clothes

Mining and mulling and pining and pulling
I think that I'm a little kid though, no
Smiling and smoking, the eyelids is lowering
The image of another misplaced cope

Zooming through the haze
I'll sleep when I'm awake
Ethylene invasions
Gone away for days
Basking in the shade
Waiting for my golden shoes

I just really wanna be with you
And take the time to see this through
I know the things that you can do
I'm following your plan

Getting dizzy 'cause we finally did it
Dried ink on the page, now we're committed
Gotta be the one, I feel prophetic
Gave all my gimmicks away

Oh shit yeah, move it up there
Get it like that, put it right there
Eyes locked, yeah
Sweat dripping hair
Best I ever had

Turning me 'round, pick me back up
Wondering how you're doing that stuff
Feelings get weird
Holy ghost spirit, best I ever had

Holy ghost, best that I've had
Holy ghost, best that I've had

For the Jeers

I'll never fail, I'll never fail
The pressure fuels my breath
And then it burns my lungs
I'll never fail, I'll never fail
Feel like a kid again
But I'm oblivious

I am the king of what I know
But I'm a slave to what I don't
I will never fail, never fail
Know better than to keep a score
Why am I always keeping score?
I'll never fail, what if I fail?

Complicate my complex
Contradict my fears
I'm an addict for the jeers, you know
Radiate in context
Don't believe my tears
Gotta give the people what they want

Child getting wild
Hold my growing cow
Shape it up when times get rough
Then show them how you styled

Make 'em do splits with a loving patience
I wrap around, doing flanking, rankin'
In the store so unprepared that I better buy fifty bears
Ducks are scared

No go on the rubber kite
But I gotted it tight as night
Bro ho in another fight
But I wanna dump fifty fish on Karen

I'll never fail, I'll never fail
The pressure fuels my breath
And then it burns my lungs
I'll never fail, I'll never fail
Feel like a kid again
But I'm oblivious

I am the king of what I know
But I'm a slave to what I don't
I will never fail, never fail
Know better than to keep a score
Why am I always keeping score?
I'll never fail, what if I fail?

Complicate my complex
Contradict my fears
I'm an addict for the jeers, you know
Radiate in context
Don't believe my tears
Gotta give the people what they want

Stay sharp, don't disgrace your treasured sounds
But it's obvious I've been hanging on
To a world that kills everything it touches

You've got everything you've wanted
Now you're gonna blow it
'Cause you're scared of tripping on your pessimism

But I don't call the shots
I report to my thoughts
They're unrelenting

All that used to give me meaning
Maybe what I've been misreading
Is it just another test?
You should give it your best
All the values I believed in
The passion I'm policing
Feels like another test
You should give it your

Child getting wild
Hold my growing cow
Shape it up when times get rough
Then show them how you styled

I think of splattering and shattering these sprayed out things
If I get bored enough, I'm ordering up the big ice cream
I tried to shut up my dumb butt, with gains and grains
This hurtful food, inflict chow pain

I'll never fail, I'll never fail
The pressure fuels my breath
And then it burns my lungs
I'll never fail, I'll never fail
Feel like a kid again
But I'm oblivious

I am the king of what I know
But I'm a slave to what I don't
I will never fail, never fail
Know better than to keep a score
Why am I always keeping score?
I'll never fail, what if I fail?

Ember

It kicked my ass, I felt so bad
I look like crap, there's no life-hack
It's pounding through my temples
It feels like every season
My nose is plugged or leaking
Don't ask me out, I'm indoor
We sneeze in Sacramento

Achoo, achoo, achoo
The pollen, you're so rude
The mucus I produce is more than just a nuisance
It's abuse
Achoo, achoo
The pills aren't working dude
Goggle vision, life in prison
I'm impaired, I can't taste my food

Keep it all to yourself
Keep it out of my sight
Hold your tongue and hold tight
Just to prevent a fight, yeah

All to yourself
Out of my sight
Accumulate your spite
Though you know it ain't right

You wanna burn some money?
Hop in a flight to Panama
We gotta get under the sun
You feel the Rapture waning?
You know we can't just carry on
Gotta reverse some damage done

Let me back inside
I'll surrender, I'll surrender
We can make this right
Know it won't happen overnight
But if you let me back inside
There's still an ember, do you remember
How to build a fire?
I need to see you glowing bright
If you let me back inside

I get above the frustration
And put my head in the clouds
This permanent vacation
Eventually makes you drown

I could have sworn that I fixed myself
'Cause I read a bunch of shit about mental health
But then I took another drink and I said I felt
Like I don't need to think about nothing, or the things that I do

We've tried it the hard way, little to no change
Let's take another chance
We've dwelled on our mistakes, taken our own space
We deserve another chance

Wanna reanimate you
I wanna see you flying high
Up in the clouds where you belong

You wanna burn some money?
Hop in a flight to Panama
We gotta get under the sun

Let me back inside
I'll surrender, I'll surrender
We can make this right
Know it won't happen overnight
But if you let me back inside
There's still an ember, do you remember
How to build a fire?
I need to see you glowing bright
If you let me back inside

I hope you follow through (inside)
I hope you follow through

Pop Off!

Ball cupping, make you stare
Of course all this shit isn't fair
I don't care

I'm cumming everywhere
Of course all this shit isn't fair
I don't care

Pop off, I took the top off
You took the vintage authentic and made it knock off
Then you add it to your recipe
It's not H-E-L-P-I-N-G (S-H-I-T)

You want my time off
You want it all though
You got your claws out in cherry red tone
Perfectly shaded to get me persuaded to your demands (ooh)

You got me wound up
Don't want to come down
Can feel the tension, a ticking a time bomb
Minutes to seconds until all the lessons
I've learned become ravaged and spent

You're all that I want
You're not what I need but I have to succumb
You're all that I want
But I know that this all ends in bad blood

You think you're superior
Everyone's a threat there's bad blood
Always bad blood, yeah
You're territorial
Everywhere you go there's bad blood
Always bad blood, yeah

Pop off, I took the top off
You took the vintage authentic and made it knock off
Then you add it to your recipe
It's not H-E-L-P-I-N-G (S-H-I-T)

Gave you my passion
You took it all though
Elegant fangs out covered in crimson
Always delighted when I'm drowning in helpless obsession (ooh)

You got me bound up
Ignoring phone calls
Dissolving friendships
For your affection
Dwindle my reach until you're what
I need to relieve me of all of my dreams

You think you're superior
Everyone's a threat there's bad blood
Always bad blood, yeah
You're territorial
Everywhere you go there's bad blood
Always bad blood, yeah

I think you need a friend, I think you need a
Give a pet a home
They won't leave you, no

Pull lever
You can never find a better bro
Give a pet a home
They won't leave you, no

You're all that I want
You're not what I need but I have to succumb
You're all that I want
But this all ends in bad, all ends in bad blood

Dog digging in the plants
These relationships
They just can't understand
Ask what do they do?
What they do for you?
That's my best f*ckin friend

One Man's Cringe

Don't listen to acceptance speeches
Make them give it up, say that winner sucks
Don't listen to these mindless screeches
Nip me in the bud, come and get your hug

Said you read it, did you get it? I bet you didn't
Not gonna change, gonna change your mind
You won't let it get embedded, apathetic
I'll never change, never change your mind

Move on, I'll move on
There's somebody out there living in despair
Needing the words to this song

Move on, I'll move on
Can't spend my time making something for everyone
This was supposed to be fun

All I wanted was a blank page
In a wide-open space and the one I love to come home to
But I got caught up in the rat race
Suddenly your embrace doesn't hit the mark like it used to

You make your bed with the ones you deserve
Will you have the courage to project what you hold true?
All of your words get reduced to a blurb
Will you have the courage to project what you hold true?

Don't listen to acceptance speeches
Make them give it up, say that winner sucks
Don't listen to these mindless screeches
Nip me in the bud, come and get your hug

Said you read it, did you get it? I bet you didn't
Not gonna change, gonna change your mind
You won't let it get embedded, apathetic
I'll never change, never change your mind

No thanks, oh great
Complaints from saints, bad weather
Too much time spent trying to stay in line

No thanks, oh great
Complaints from saints, more pressure
Hard to know better if you're always right

What's the meaning of this meme-less meme?
The inception of a dreamless dream?
I see you cringe at what I'm mentioning
'Cause caring hurts, and all these feelings, they sting

Playing through a headache when I got into a rhythm
Playing through a headache aggravated by my enemies
Can I reinvent it when I feel like I'm imprisoned?
Can I reinvent it when I'm running out of memories?

I don't need the credit, I need something overwhelming
Save me from the pattern, I am giving into everything
Can I reinvent it when I feel like I'm pretending?
Can I reinvent it when I feel like I'm the enemy?

All I wanted was a blank page
In a wide-open space and the one I love to come home to
But I got caught up in the rat race
Suddenly your embrace doesn't hit the mark like it used to

You make your bed with the ones you deserve
Will you have the courage to project what you hold true?
All of your words get reduced to a blurb
One man's cringe is another man's tattoo

Feels Bad Man

Whoa, you're alive
Do you ever really stop and wonder why?
Is your soul fortified?
By the tiny twinkling light inside your eyes?
Whoa, another night
Should you live with your regrets or just get high?

Feels bad man
The up and down of the emotion broke my loading hands
Replaced my legs with sleepy pants
They make me smoke fifty grams
I don't pander, mandible clamper, setting a standard
You can't touch my precious glow
I don't care about answers, no

Tell yourself a story, life is pretty boring
See you in the morning, let your worries drown
Like chlorine, keep the liquor pouring
Flap until you're soaring, let your heroes down

Well I think I've seen enough
But I hoped this trip would come and save me
My life ain't bad enough, so I scratch this itch
Incinerate me
Heart pours the core of my flex
The lord in my step
The organ it plays through
Time blows the horn in my chest
I'm boarding my jet, the plane that I came to

Brain brimming through a sea of bats
They're nipping chords and spinning webs of rhythm as they flap
Are you decalcified but stupid high?
Still sad after sex?
Did you realize that all this time, your crown was just a hat?

Whoa, soul divine
Is there anything out there to dull your shine?
Bump bump bump bump, boom
Ten hundred times
'Til one day you wake up and you feel alright
Bump bump bump bump, boom
Ten thousand times
'Til one day you wake up and you're out of time

Feels bad man
The up and down of the emotion broke my loading hands
Replaced my legs with sleepy pants
They make me smoke fifty grams
I don't pander, mandible clamper, setting a standard
You can't touch my precious glow
I don't care about answers, no

Don't care about answers, don't care about answers, no
You can't touch my precious glow
I don't care about answers, no
Don't care about answers, no

Die Another Day

Lay my tentacles
In the crucible
Just to see the world
As something beautiful again
Melt my sins

He's losing pounds, just lay him down
And pop it in its place
Take the scruff and pull it up
He'll die another day

Start over, I can't bear to look back
Start over, I always run away
Sweet closure, cure me of my candor
Shoo vultures
I'll die another day

Lay my tentacles
In the crucible
Just to see my chores
As something meaningful again
From within
All out of breath
From my warpath
Sweating toxicity
Begging for amnesty
Make it a song
Always a song
Can only tell you the truth in the chant of a tone

I'll never be enough unless I finish this sentence
Did it come into existence or was it invented?
Only getting stuck because I already did it

Start over, I can't bear to look back
Start over, I always run away
Sweet closure, cure me of my candor
Shoo vultures
I'll die another day

Pigeon in my vision frigid in the kitchen
Blithering committed piebald cow
Scummy ballerina standing on your femur
Pop your sloppy doggy eyeballs outs

Started at the finish, did it in a minute
Living to flip in the breeze
Had to do the did it
Rigid ribbit critic
Making a pino go grig
God why'd you have to do that me?

Safe, sound on the other side
Back to devour what I've been denied
Bad track record to be kind but this time I'll be paying attention
Can't dwell on my damaged pride
I got moves to make, I got hearts to break through
Manic and erratic but emphatic about learning the hard way (learning the hard way)

Need to bite to the animal
To get my instincts churning
Shake up my camera roll
Been a minute, it's been a minute
We don't obey, it's all a game
There's no give and take
There's no give and take
There's no talk but kill the king

No talk, just kill the king
They won't talk just kill the

I'm shaking the plastic off
Ripping the wrapper off
Students coming out clean

Devoted to master stroke
Licking the envelope
Sending my bright blue flame

Two Secret Weapons

Fully automatic
Two secret weapons that'll save me from the static
Was at the pinnacle of melancholy fading
But I counteract the aging
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Cut me open, compensate me for what time has stolen
Slow erosion
Cut me open, sick and tired of going through the motions
Make me golden again

Getting to the age where I need more than my gorgeous hair
Panic on the planet, every Janet screaming "Life's not fair"
Wanna be the mamma to make everybody stop and stare
Take me to Nirvana and make everybody stop and stare

Beauty panoramic
Come on and give it to me deep as the Atlantic
I got a medical advantage
They're gigantic and I'm playing all my cards
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Was looking for something I lost and now I'm found
Killed off a demon that was gnawing at my energy
Tied up by generation 'til I came unbound when you

Cut me open, compensate me for what time has stolen
Slow erosion
Cut me open, sick and tired of going through the motions
Make me golden again

Getting to the age where I need more than my gorgeous hair
Panic on the planet, every Janet screaming "Life's not fair"
Wanna be the mamma to make everybody stop and stare
Take me to Nirvana and make everybody stop and stare

Catching a ride, I know the money gets dried
So I gnash my teeth to the beat of the stu-stu-stutter
Catching a ride, I know the money gets dried
So I plant my lips on the face of the band, I love it

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Don't mind me speeding up on roads I drive
Patterns in a wheel, the notes live lives
Don't mind me speeding up on toads I fly
When life's been better, I don't notice time
I ride

Polka Dot Dobbins

I got a tool topper with a blue shocker and a big plaid knee
It's a small f*cker but it eats rudders and I hate to clean
If you shower for me, you were born horny, and I don't like weeds
Make yourself into someone that breeds

Beat my cancer
We'll be dancing on

I'm proud that all us did this
I'm proud that all us did this
I'm proud that all us did this
My wish, wish, wish, wish, wish appeared

I'm proud that all us did this
I'm proud that all us did this
I'm proud that all us did this
My wish, wish, wish, wish, wish appeared

Said she liked your flavor
Then she gone and f*cked somebody else
That chick is danger
She bound to wreck somebody
Ask me for a favor
I'll tell you "find somebody else"
An agitator, she bound to wreck somebody

Been trying to neglect it
But the appeal is too electric
Restraint is ineffective
Don't be ashamed, we've all defected too

We're never gonna play by the same rules
Delivered by a range of all angels
We're never gonna live by the same truths
Delivered by a range of all angels

I like a goofy wimp, I watch your stupid clip
I'm like "More food, please"
When I'm flobby-boppin in the goopy goblin
With the may-back jeans
I'm just a dopey dump, I'll never open up
But did I show you these?
Tormented in a Bentley and I'm lonely

Beat my cancer
We'll be dancing on

Don't try, it's really hard
We almost came apart
We almost came apart
But our wish, wish, wish, wish, wish appeared

I'm proud that all us did this
I'm proud that all us did this
I'm proud that all us did this
My wish, wish, wish, wish, wish appeared

This digital chip implanted
They're shoving that shit like crammed in
Can't wait for my turn, I'm really concerned
Don't let me get burned
I'm feeling this shit, I'm branded
I wanna get off this planet
Some bloody knife mood
We can't do this without you

Long Nights in Jail

Can't defend your code, nothing lasts forever
Sneaky undertones give way to adventure
Don't tell me what to believe
No, don't tell me when to be free

Hatch another tale for you to sell
Story's getting stale, we know the smell
You like 'em in submission
But all you give is ammunition
You underrate their intuition
They won't ask for your permission

Dinner jacket, how's the rabbit taste on your tongue?
Finer palate, how's your dad's estate?
Are you looking for love?
Copacetic, manifest and get the deal done
Fight the, fight the, fight the, fight the revolution

Long nights in jail
I think I met the one, he posted my bail
Took me to Heaven when we manned up and scaled
Eleven stories making plans
To fight the, to fight the revolution

Get up out my house, I know you're both lying
You look older than your age, and yeah, I think you're dying
I'll shoot you in my yard, I love to hear crying
Get up out my house bitch, I ain't Bryan

Don't tell me what to believe
No, don't tell me when to be free
Save it for the sheep already tamed
I answer to me, unashamed

You like 'em in submission
But all you give is ammunition
You underrate their intuition
They won't ask for your permission

Dinner jacket, how's the rabbit taste on your tongue?
Finer palate, how's your dad's estate?
Are you looking for love?
Copacetic, manifest and get the deal done
Fight the, fight the, fight the, fight the revolution

Long nights in jail
I think I met the one, he posted my bail
Took me to Heaven when we manned up and scaled
Eleven stories making plans
To fight the, to fight the revolution

Get up out my house, I know you're both lying
You look older than your age, and yeah, I think you're dying
I'll shoot you in my yard, I love to hear crying
Get up out my house bitch, I ain't Bryan

Back on Deck

She whispers sweet bullshit in my ear
Familiar, it's what I always want to hear
But it didn't take long for my old regrets to be back on deck
Cover up my attention
Fat chance that I'll pay my debt with my mistakes

Give me a break
Is there even anybody left for me to trust for goddamn sake?
Cauterize the hole inside my chest and burn my flesh
The smell of honesty, decency, lingers in the air until it's gone

I'm not the one
I'm not the one who's holding on (ooh)
I'm not the one who's holding on
Our agony is a distant memory

September, can't wait 'til you're here
Deliver all my deepest fears
And no, it didn't take long for my old regrets to be back on deck
Cover up my attention
No chance that I'll pay my debt with my mistakes

Give me a break
Is there even anybody left for me to trust for goddamn sake?
Cauterize the hole inside my chest and burn my flesh
The smell of honesty, decency, lingers in the air until it's gone

I'm not the one
I'm not the one who's holding on (ooh)
I'm not the one who's holding on
Our agony is a distant memory

You get bored with an easy life
Looking for anything to make it right
You're stupid, guy
There's no magic in maintenance, feel it getting stale?
Then go play games in the basement, spacious
Some people ain't worth a single tear
More hate, more fear
I think we're better off weird

Tapping into all the emotions I forgot to feel all year
Can't recall the smell of the ocean
I need something real, something real

Tapping into all the emotions (I need something real)
Can't recall the smell of the ocean (something real)
Tapping into all the emotions (I need something real)
Can't recall the smell of the ocean (something real)

Current Events

Dang cricket, rabbit spinach
I've been stuck in the land of digits
I'm really five foot ten, please try to believe me
Poor wording, out of courage
No luck with the playful verbiage
Used all but ten percent of possible meanings

You really ought to know by now
That you get what you give
And if you don't commit
You'll be desperate just to fit in

They don't practice then they wonder why they suck
Patient? Always been
Now don't get outta touch
I should have told them that I know better
But now I'll show them that I'm no quitter

Ooh, ooh, ooh
I sit in my house sucking smoke from my mouth
Glued to my couch, trying not to go psychotic
I got cable to learn another angle
But I'm unable to get the hell out of my own head

It's been about fifteen years since (ooh)
I've changed my mind about any opinion (ooh)
Clutching to all the same fears (ooh)
That live in the tissue of my protoplasm (ooh, ooh)

Talking heads, "F*ck the feds"
So well-read, I'm impressed
How did you acquire all this undue confidence?
By babbling about current events and begging people "Smash that like?"

Who that, do that, make improvements
Work the lane 'til worth consuming
Done, done, done, done, done, done, done
Done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done

Bear that, wear that, slanging pain
Art like daggers, ball 'n chain
Done, done, done, done, done, done, done
Done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done

You really ought to know by now
That you get what you give
And if you don't commit
You'll be desperate just to fit in

They don't practice then they wonder why they suck
Patient? Always been
Now don't get outta touch
I should have told them that I know better
But now I'll show them that I'm no quitter

Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're never honest, telling folks what they've missed
And now they're all pissed, trying not to be neurotic
Got no precision to leverage your ambition
Say you've got vision, well, why are you always so god damn wrong?

It's been about fifteen years since (ooh)
I've changed my mind about any opinion (ooh)
Clutching to all the same fears (ooh)
That live in the tissue of my protoplasm (ooh, ooh)

You offer nothing but you want it all
You need the adequate to cover for your shortfalls
Propitiating to your own cabal
Pitiful tantrums to show them you're not small

Dying in a dream
I should have fooled myself with self-esteem
I wanna be oozing health like sub-machine
Instead, I'm chomping on rockets and sucking cream

Pray to God for Your Mother

Surprise, uh oh
Didn't think I'd have to answer for the lies
I told myself, at least not so soon
Goodbye, uh oh
To adrenaline and ambition
Comply, gotta look inside myself for another reason to live

Depending on the medicine to keep my colors vivid
Think I hit the limit (ahh)
But I've been doing better ever slightly for a minute
Think that I can pivot (ahh)

Part of me wants to believe that I will not come apart at the seams
That I will learn from the cut when I bleed
That I'm a tank, I'm a goddamn machine, oh
Part of me wants to believe that I will not come apart at the seams
That I deserve to deliver my dream
That my name will light up the marquee, yeah

Blame it all on the lamest dude
Blame it all on the payment due
Blame it all on the fragrant food
Pray to God for your mother

Always wonder what you gon' do
Come to terms with a painful truth
Pray to God that we make it through
Pray to God for your mother

Tap out (tap out), tap out (tap out), tap out (tap out), tap out (tap out)
You want to tap out, but you feel ashamed to back out
What would your friends and your family say?
Uh oh, didn't think I'd have to answer for the lies
I told myself, at least not so soon

Depending on the medicine to keep my colors vivid
Think I hit the limit (ahh)
But I've been doing better ever slightly for a minute
Think that I can pivot (ahh)

Part of me wants to believe that I will not come apart at the seams
That I will learn from the cut when I bleed
That I'm a tank, I'm a goddamn machine, oh
Part of me wants to believe that I will not come apart at the seams
That I deserve to deliver my dream
That my name will light up the marquee, yeah

Blame it all on the lamest dude
Blame it all on the payment due
Blame it all on the fragrant food
Pray to God for your mother

Always wonder what you gon' do
Come to terms with a painful truth
Pray to God that we make it through
Pray to God for your mother

Scream, explain
You'll do it 'til your trained
My voice is like my horoscope
I'm Scorpio, I'm strange
I tried to tame my brain
I admit it was in vain
I let it go, it flows
It knows I cannot do a thing

I got grips and I got stocks
I got barrels with an ox
Now I'm cold enough, I can't be angered
All this writing on my walls
Built them up to break my fall
Now I'm cold enough, I can't be angered

Swallowed by Eternity

Sang my soul, sold my soul
Was there a point to it?
Can I get back all I've lost?
Can I inspire anyone?
Can I inspire anyone anymore?

When my favorite outlet becomes a burden
Don't know for certain how long it'll last for
Poetic outlet becomes a serpent
When it converges with all that I deplore

It's a miracle that I got this far
It's a miracle that I got this far
It's a god damn miracle that I got this far
It's a god damn miracle that I got this far

Two threes flattened and the horns are warped to tusks
Clothed in static, void is laughing at what you think you've done

If only I knew there'd be no chance of pearly gates
If only I knew, ooh
If only I knew all of my sweat would go to waste
If only I knew, ooh

You'll regret it, the ones that you let in
The things that you said but you couldn't obey

Time was shredded a pathetic investment
The ones we protected were the ones to betray
To lay their pain into me

No one's left to save you
Gluttony will betray you
The reckoning is overdue
You know you deserve what's coming
Can't live off of your defiance
Can't depend on fickle talents
Servant to your habits
You know you deserve what's coming

Crystal fragments stuck in bladders
No one thinks a baby's tough
What I wrote, that shit don't matter
How bad can we f*ck this up?

Babbling in limbo
Drag these metal arms to rust
Double scythe akimbo
Got your baggage in me
Brittle is our crutch

If only I knew there'd be no chance of pearly gates
If only I knew, ooh
If only I knew all of my sweat would go to waste
If only I knew, ooh

You'll regret it
The ones that you let in
The things that you said
But you couldn't obey

Time was shredded, a pathetic investment
The ones we protected were the ones to betray
To lay their pain into me

If I build it up, who will burn it down?
Do I believe in a God who can save me?
Can I be enough when I'm feeding my doubts? (Doubts)

Should I give it up? Do I stick around?
Is everyone always trying to break me?
Well I don't give a f*ck, you can't stop me now

If I build it up, who will burn it down?
Do I believe in a God who can save me?
Can I be enough when I'm feeding my doubts? (Doubts)

Should I give it up? Do I stick around?
Is everyone always trying to break me?
Well I don't give a f*ck, you can't stop me now

Have a Great Life

Don't know if you're evil or benign
Said that it was over but you pulled me back in
Perfume mortifying by design
Pleading with myself to never give in again

I'm off medicated like I wanted to be
But where the hell is all my energy?
The couch, I dove in it, I think I've grown in it
Advice given to lick the plate clean
And don't listen to dudes who ain't me

Code red, code red
Every time I need to find a way out
There's only one
Code red, code red
Every time I need a person I can trust
There's one

All bags get a crinkled crunch
Trash actin' like it wasn't lunch
Your face is stuffed
No home for the evil skunk
Ass acting like it never stunk
Your face, a butt (ooh)

You look a little light when you're embarrassed (woo)
Bet you always thought you'd get the best of me (ooh)
How is it still living with your parents? (Oh wee)
Damn, you really thought you'd get the best of me?

I'm all better, I think I'm who I wanted to be
I turned a dream into an enemy, the route
Suspicion, I couldn't burn bridges, none built to do connecting
And no talking to dudes who ain't me

Code red, code red
Every time I need to find a way out
There's only one
Code red, code red
Every time I need a person I can trust
There's one

Do you even know what it's like to breathe greatness?
Gold eclipsing the words that you say
So close to being a god, I could taste it
I won't stop, no matter how long it takes

Profound, enlightening, inspiring, meaningful statement
No one makes it out, go have a great life

Profound, enlightening, inspiring, meaningful statement
No one makes it out, go have a great life

Profound, enlightening, inspiring, meaningful statement
No one makes it out, go have a great life
