Walk in silence Don't walk away - in silence Danger - always danger Endless talking of life rebuilding Don't walk away - in silence Don't walk away - in silence Walk in silence Don't walk away - in silence Your illusion - my confusion And in the mask of self-hate Confronts itself and then dies Don't walk away - in silence People like you, have it easy Face like the sun - walking on air Haunted by your face, every street, every corner Abandoned too soon Don't walk away - in silence Don't walk away - in silence

Lord, there InI must be. (In Jah atmosphere) There InI must be. (In Jah atmosphere) Lord, there InI must be. (In Jah atmosphere) There InI must be. What would you do to gain the world? Sell our souls for diamond and pearl? What would you do to reach the top With smiling face stab a brother in his back. What would you do to have it all? Climb a corporate ladder To see your own brother fall? What I'm gonna do on my judgment day When all iniquity fade and righteousness stay? (In Jah atmosphere) Lord, there InI must be. (In Jah atmosphere) There InI must be. (In Jah atmosphere) Lord, there InI must be. (In Jah atmosphere) InI a soldier 'till the end. I mean it, I mean it my friend. InI a soldier 'till the end. What would you do for harmony? To finally and permanantly abandon inferiority I can't nothing about what I can't control Just make the children see The past don't have to be their future. See, all of the days before me were filled with hate This war and slvery InI came to late To feel superiority over any race Black is a mind state (In Jah atmosphere) Lord, there InI must be. (In Jah atmosphere) There InI must be. (In Jah atmosphere) Lord, there InI must be. (In Jah atmosphere) There InI must be. InI a soldier 'till the end. I mean it, I mean it my friend. InI a soldier 'till the end.

Everything used to be so good then Now it seems like you're mad at my footprints I'm only trying to scribble in the book, man It's not my fault that y'all couldn't You must have a lot of free time Otherwise why are you trying to see mine Strain your neck, let the blame project But don't give yourself the same respect So independent but undependable We're all getting old, now take a mental note And stop being so covetous The crime is the punishment Now run and get a sliver of dignity You ain't gotta be a figure of misery You don't want to be a victim to victory Listening to a bitter sweet symphony You're so bitter You're cold as a river in the winter This one is to recognize you Your jealousy needs an anthem too You're so bitter You're cold as a river in the winter This one is to recognize you And all of these dreams that can't come true We used to get up in Uptown Then we hit the highway to run around Came home everybody wanna judge now Don't let them see you celebrate your touchdown Keep clutching those grudges Don't budge if no budget The old puppets show love in public But behind the back can't trust it Disgusted, repugnant Insulted, repulsive Discouraged, rejection No protection from your own reflection Chip on your shoulder big as a boulder Insecurities a slippery slope Got ya looking around for the sympathy vote Anything to give a little glimmer of hope You're so bitter You're cold as a river in the winter This one is to recognize you Your jealousy needs an anthem too You're so bitter You're cold as a river in the winter This one is to recognize you And all of these dreams that can't come true Treat love like a limited resource Fight for it like there's never gonna be more On the rooftop talk to the spaceships Like you've got 2Pac locked in the basement Get the bag, make the get away exit You get mad like your middle name desperate No net, better not get left back Yeah, you should probably protect that I'm trying to keep it simple, teeth to the nipple Beat my chisel, leave my initials Fly so far when you follow the signals Sky full of stars and all of them wishful Not only are we bitter but we're brittle The world's getting small, and everybody's little Go roll your eyeballs, toot your own whistle Don't ever stop waiting for the window You're so bitter You're cold as a river in the winter This one is to recognize you Your jealousy needs an anthem too You're so bitter You're cold as a river in the winter This one is to recognize you And all of these dreams that can't come true

A city full of people and my favorite is that waitress And she treats me like some kind of common vagrant I see her every day, but there's nothing to say Unless I decide to step inside of that cafe I only get to sit if I buy something to eat Otherwise its best to keep my feet moving down that street And goddamn, she's a hard bitch She talks at like I'm the bad dog that got into the garbage Yeah I know that the toilet is for customers You ain't gotta tangle up the strings that make this puppet work It doesn't have to be a game of paddy-cake But it ain't like you don't know I sleep in that alleyway And by the way, I can see it in your eyes You're angry with your life, not a stranger to the fight I bet you hate every man that you date And you're probably addicted to all types of escape You take it out on me that you're all alone When you know you got your own closet full of hollow bones Watch the tone when you speak to old folks I'm grown, just trying to get out of this Minnesota cold "Look lady, I'm homeless, I'm crazy I'm so hopeless I'm suicidal daily. If you and I can't coexist let's fake it 'Cause I ain't got the energy it takes for this relationship." I'm waiting for a city bus to flatten me And transport me to the ever after happily Maybe reincarnate, and with luck Come back to Earth as a cockroach in your tip cup, huh She says she's had it up to here She's gonna call authorities if I don't dissapear. I love her threats, it rejuvinates my breath I give her stress for the reaction that it gets. I got a pocket full of panhandled money On a cup of bad coffee and a stale honey bun In front of everyone she calls me bum But she notices my absence on those afternoons I don't come So here I am, thorn in her hip Corner table all morning with some corn chips Ignoring the insults and evil eyes I feed off 'em, I wonder when she'll realize She's the only reason I visit The only woman in my world that acknowledges my existence And if my ship ever comes I'll miss it Because I'm getting old and I ain't got much left to give it So there it is, and I have to live with it I had the chance to make a difference but I didn't In a cafe bathroom drinking free tap water Thinking damn I should have been a better father to my daughter

In tomorrow I see no promise And yesterday was like today Woke up, got up, near eleven o'clock Butt naked except I was wearing my socks And that's cool, 'cause most the time this floor is cold Stand up and stretch look around this mess My place has been a cage since she left me Make my way to the kitchen, start the coffee Then dip to the bathroom, begin the triple-s And wash the previous evening off me Now out the shower, get dry, shove a q-tip in my ear Well, what do we have here? It appears as if a piece of me has got motivation (Ain't nothin' wrong with a little mornin' masturbation) Fresh, dressed like fifty cents Clean and awake now I'm ready to commence Spark up the caffeine and nicotine binge And that's pretty much the pattern of how the day begins And I write for an hour, maybe half hour more Then I put on my shoes and grab my key for the door Put my headphones on for this world I ignore Trek down the street towards the record store "Hey, bro, how you doin', anything new today?" "Nah man, how you been? It's the same old same again" "Well then, I'll be gone, friend, I'll see you around" Then I'm out, destination uptown In the summertime the women wear a lot of skin And if I sit in one spot I can take 'em all in Sometimes I even talk to see if I can make one grin And if not (yo,it's cool I ain't gonna take it personally) From Anne Landers to Ani DiFranco to Orphan Annie I love all women (all women), but most of them just can't stand me I don't know, maybe it's my hair or my clothes (Or maybe she noticed that you was diggin' in your nose) Either way it's okay, I wasn't tryin' to get laid I just wanted to say "I hope you have a great day" And then she stopped with a smile that began to blush "Here, take my number, call me up, I'll come over and make you lunch" I got up and headed down towards the book store To check the titles that my man Michael's got me lookin' for My visit was short, 'cause I just couldn't feel That cat behind the counter actin' like I'm here to steal So I dipped back out into a cloud of tattoos Pierced body parts and colorful hairdos And I questioned, did Babylon resemble this? Are we gettin' any closer to the end of the list? A sensuous kiss, placed on apocalypse We teach them how to make a fist, but not to resist And I'm wonderin' how'd we find this position But people are people and I still love 'em (especially the women) Onwards to the coffee shop, maybe Muddies for a refill And some sociological studies See the junkies, while they co-exist with the sobers All the bugging of eyeballs, the shrugging of shoulders And that's when I saw her, sippin' on water I wanna kiss her mom just for having this daughter Excuse me miss, I don't mean to come across strong But I've been waitin' a while and you've been taking too long And she smiled and I began to blush She asked if I'd like to go to the bathroom and make some love And I got visions of us, and the mirror getting steamed And that's the very moment I woke up from the dream Woke up, got up, near eleven o'clock Butt naked except I was wearing my socks And that's cool, 'cause most the time this floor is cold Stand up and stretch and look for my soul In tomorrow I see no promise And yesterday was like today In tomorrow I see no promise And yesterday was like today In tomorrow I see no promise And yesterday was like today In tomorrow I see no promise And yesterday was like today

I love this fucking country (who feels me?) And she loved me more than I could imagine So I waited till she slept then I stepped into traffic Ran away from the backyard to drift some more Woke up in Texas next to a liquor store With a woman who don't even drink alcohol Big letters "IRONY" tagged on the wall She was named for another flat land We had a strong back then In common, we had a bond That would never see the break of dawn To damn afraid of the queen trying to take the pawn (threw that away) Yes, yes headed out west and got undressed With the nurture that she gave me Made me trip and get obsessed There was a lady in Los Angeles That handled this the way the manual suggest She turned me on to music that I never heard before She told me stories from a cup I haven't leaned to pour And I don't know who hurt it more Professional journals or perpetual burn holes Scarring up the dirty floor (peace) Found a hollow hole in the Colorado snow It's like I follow anywhere el Diablo go Took a stroll with the feline And sat silent while the snow flakes fell into the design Can't let her dance up on top on the top floor Been there done that What do you think it's locked for? I've lost more to my traveling soul Then I care to talk about so I'll be out, I'll be on the road (Down, down) Down in Gainesville No stranger to shame. Coltrain and pain pills Sometimes the ceiling's to easy to stare at But it keeps me from a forest full of snare traps and bear traps And it can't come clean without the sun beams And it ain't complete without the drum beats I can tell she don't want me "as is" Time to climb back into the van and make the back stiff And I had to add one more story to the infinite Already interwoven through a New York cigarette Ex-lover and a best friend Best lover and an ex-friend'll bend for alcoholic sentimentalism And the rhythm of religion on the p.a. make the people here say, "God bless the deejay" She stays to wait for a replay While I wonder if I'll be able to hear it from the freeway? Chicago, inside of an empty bottle There's a thin line between gossip and gospel And there's a house over there near Wicker Park Where I found out smart was afraid of the dark Had to break a heart just to help me heal up Tie a knot in the stomach just to help me seal up Make sure the demons stay beneath the core Pray for you and yours and whoever you believe in more Look around you there's angels amongst us (Look around you there's angels amongst us) Sittin' in the rain at some sidewalk cafe Half of her wet cigarette in the ash tray She's tryin' to find a lost soul to save And I'm a lost soul trying to find a road that's paved Keep faith in my suitcase, pack my beliefs Angels exist, I've even seen some sleep I love this fucking country (who feels me?) And she loved me more than I could imagine So I waited till she slept then I stepped into traffic

These warehouse wages kill the ends introduction Man I shoulda' schooled it up when I was younger should of stuck to plan Always had the dreams of bein' more self-assertive And my kid's a teenager now, he needs the health insurance So break my body, break-break my soul down Just another zombie walkin' blindly through ya ghost town Pull up to the bar to politic and tap the power Ain't nobody really all that jolly at your happy hour But I don't wanna go home yet So I'ma talk to my cigarette and that television set It doesn't matter what brand or station Anything to take away from the current situation No overtime pay, no holiday Months behind on everything but the lottery Winter 'round the corner, guaranteein' that my car dies Wifey havin' trouble tryna juggle both the part-times My cup ain't close to filled up We tryna build up so we could have enough And when I finally get the color, won't be nothin' left to paint on A friend of mine tried to kill himself to the same song My better half is mad at makin' magic outta can goods My tax bracket status got her questionin' my manhood My shorty got caught smokin' weed at a concert And if I smack him everybody treats me like a monster My neighbors ain't doin' much better And we make it competition instead of stickin' together Can't save no nest egg, in fact this nest is rented In fact that rent is late, wait The money ain't here, the raise ain't comin' Just me and my son and that crazy woman And those bartenders, this whole fuckin' country Got everybody swallowin' that lunch meat Maybe we could speed up the process Kill me in my thirties in the name of progress Put me in the dirt and then change the topic Sometimes seems like the only way to stop it Contemplate my departure date Doesn't take a lot to get a lot of us to talk this way Take a shot at me, that's all I'm obligated for Apparently my only guarantee is a walk-away The only guarantee in life Is a life worth dying for 'Cause death don't wait for no one He's sitting on your front door The only guarantee in life Is a life worth dying for 'Cause death don't wait for no one He's sitting on your front door

Naked in the bathtub Sittin' on the porcelain Waiting for that little hurricane to pull your torso in The water don't run, just drips like rain Still drips like a painkiller drips to the veins Fill it up With a bag of that happy stuff Cuz the way she runs out, you can tell she ain't had enough Good times goddess My goodness Got finger nail polish autopilot foot prints With a smile that's stitched to the fabric of bedtime tales and Keep them kids out of the attic The mouth of madness Loud and manic The motive of the bird holding south on the atlas Picture a hole Put your hero in Envision the gold Now zero in Been watching your night train track for the last few stops With no desire to hop it How did we end up in your apartment Pocket full of gossip says this ain't smart When it's all said and done, can't get restart But I'll be damned if I don't wanna kiss you-- Hard (Chorus) Shoulda known better not to f**k wit' you Ain't got nothin' but too much to lose Lost in the rush don't know what to do That drug got you like I want you Shoulda known better not to f**k wit' you Ain't got nothin' but too much to lose Lost in the rush don't know what to do That drug got you like I want you I've got a restraining order Against Satan's daughter And I keep it at the bottom of this Jameson and water And when we get there You can sit there and stare From behind your mascara and your thick hair I'm aware of that pain you harbor The same negative game to the names you martyr Apart from the details and substance and whatnot That hunger of love pistol and gut rot Bloodshot Give me one shot, my shot Hopped up on enough talk to make time stop The lines of chalk that benjamin might cop Killed the illustrations on the neighborhood sidewalks Then all of a sudden she got silent Pupils like marbles, hide behind the eyelids Get away sticks go limping hole place The smile sucked up most of her face Truly you beat the scene so surreal And each criticism becomes redeemed Swallow my words No more judgment it's true Cuz you look like what I feel like when I'm with you Shoulda known better not to f**k wit' you Ain't got nothin' but too much to lose Lost in the rush don't know what to do That drug got you like I want you Shoulda known better not to f**k wit' you Ain't got nothin' but too much to lose Lost in the rush don't know what to do That drug got you like I want you

It's no surprise I overslept, put my boots on and climbed out my tent I didn't see you, assumed you were sleeping, immediately start a fire 'cause its freezing I can't believe we went camping in the cold; I'm in the wilderness standing in some snow A late start but we can still catch up, you need to wake up, we should eat and then pack up It's when I noticed your foot prints, snows fresh and those have been put since What you're already up, making the rounds? So where you at now, you laid back down? The breeze came and it stalled out the flame, while I went to your tent and called out your name You didn't answer so I opened up the flap; it's just an empty sleeping bag and your backpack I'm looking at your tracks, you took a couple laps around the campground and hoofed down the path I figure you'll return no concern; Ima hold put and try to make this cold wood burn The wind is blowing strong, the minutes rolling on, it's going on at least half an hour you've been gone It aint right, start the paranoia; I left the camp site to go and search for ya I read the trail your feet made, each step was deliberately placed It looks like you know where it leads but I see nothing but leafless frozen trees About a ¼ mile into the course, another set of tracks appeared next to yours From the north it came out of the thick woods, and those footprints belong to a big wolf Trying to find service on my cellphone, I felt aight with my knife on my belt though I hope the wolf is intimidated by you, I wonder if you even knew what was behind you Stalking ya, maybe watchin ya, waiting for the opportunity to hop on top of ya Salivatin wanna take ya to the stomach, in the cartoons you would have turned into a drumstick And it gets about as bad it goes, 'cuz I notice there's a new set of tracks in the snow I understood. It doesn't look good. Your fan club doubled now you've got another wolf And the odds are in favor of the home team, why'd you walk off all alone where you going? It aint the right time to complain, but it feels like I'm trying to find your remains Your foot prints grew further apart, I knew what that meant and it was hurting my heart It means you started to run so I did the same, now my breaths looking like a steam engine train Suddenly your tracks dip off of the path and so did theirs so my knife I grabbed Into the forest, expect the worst. Adrenaline burst disturbed the nerves 50 yards into the woods and brush, it got so thick that it looked like dusk The air stood serene, sober, it seemed like a good 15 degrees colder And I'll admit hell ya I felt fear the sound of my heart beat was all I could hear Looking at the snow it was plain a clear there was a third set of wolf prints where yours disappeared I can't process, I don't follow. It would be easier to believe that you were swallowed With no sign of death, no sign of struggle, no signs of blood, no signs of trouble And the wolves never stopped, the tracks kept going and I took off So I don't know how your story ends, but I know I'll never go into those woods again It's not that tragic, it's not a shame You're not the hunted, you're not the aim You just another dog with hunger pains I was so afraid that you'd become the game I forgot to worry about what you became You're not the hunted, you're not the aim You just another dog with hunger pains I was so afraid that you'd become the game It's not that tragic, it's not a shame You're not the hunted, you're not the aim You just another dog with hunger pains I was so afraid that you'd become the game I forgot to worry about what you became

Remember that time that I made you so mad Last week right ha ha you know that It's not like it's all that rare So put it here and let me cherish the embarrassment I realize I've been a dick head yes And I respect how you question your investments I take the plane but it ain't to be impressive It feels like a cop out to label it lessons I've been though the rain but I've put other people through a hurricane just to work the game Some time I swim through so much shame I think my little man's blessed that he didn't get my last name And here you are right in front of me offering it all like tell me what you want from me I wanna love you today and forever Let me clear my through and rub my wings together It goes: I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this You've been searching for this that and this Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess (X2) Whoo girl, you're the most beautiful thing I've seen Enticing, exciting Even the sound of your voice gotta nice ring Ya seem like the type that might help me tighten up my pipe dreams We can keep digging through this dirt Team up, you and I against the universe Think about it, What cha say to your self You can wear my cape and I can play with your belt The truth is there now Stand with me, look into that mirror now And tell me you don't see the same image Gonna be a brand name babe once the rain is finished It goes: I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this You've been searching for this that and this Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess (X2) I can't believe she got me on a ball and chain It's not a complaint, I appreciate it For all the dumb mistakes I make I'm surprised baby girl ain't threw me away I never meant to hurt no one, I just want to stay productive till the work is done I dance to a sertain drum, but when I fell off beat you didn't turn and run, no You see me at my lowest low You gave me sight when I had broken focus With a smile that opens up like a rose bud Even when it all seemed so fucking hopeless And here you are right in front of me Offering it all like tell me what you want from me I want to thank you today and forever Let's make a little happy mess together You know It goes: I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this You've been searching for this that and this Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess (X2)

Ain't no color paint gonna cover the stains The pictures on the wall will all remain And even though he's home now, sound and safe Surrounded by the faces that he places faith The images visit from the past he witnessed Can't stay away from the memory, sticks with Each detail, embeded in stone Like he chisels those convictions into his bones The progress stops and pauses Spits and sputters like the basment faucet And its obvious hes lost in his regrets You can smell it on his breath Aint no color paint gonna cover the stains But now the alcohol is gonna mother the pain Tuck it away, no complaints Just layin on his back on his backyard, under the rain Take tomorrow, but doesn't know how though For ever swallow, theres another to follow He weaves his way throughout the story Looking for a new missing piece or a door key Spirits used to be for celebration But now they just take him away from the hell thats waitin Re-up until its three sheets up And pick a place for the skeletons to meet up Aint no color paint gonna cover the stains But if the oxygen escapes, it'll smother the flames No introduction, doesnt speak his own name Gonna beat them demons at they own game The sunset rides to the end slopes Same song echoing outside of the window You cant grow if the skin dont fit you Sometimes you gotta get low just to get through No inspiration left to do your best when Nobody hates you more than your reflection Suffer the shame until it stuffs the drain He's got two hands and a bucket of paint, c'mon

Camera thief Take pictures Run like the parallel stitches Attach my feet to the path I beat Teach myself to keep the answers brief Gnash my teeth like the last to feast Imagine me on that abandoned beach Sand and sea as if the jazz was free I'm Ice cream mixed with gasoline Direct attention to the craftsmanship Neglect to mention that the past will stick Like initials carved in the concrete Like the tattoo that hides on your mommy I still kick it with angels The difference is that instead of the bar, I'm at my kitchen table The starlight shines through the glass But you feel safe underneath that mask Ferris Wheel, give rides These scars healed in time to get high Lock the doors and hide the keys Lets go describe how to climb a tree Don't sign the lease just cop a corner For you to curl up and try to sleep Those cheap police won't find my wings I keep my dreams inside my dreams And If I had a time machine I'd probably use it like a vacuum and try to clean It kind a seems, quite more than a handful of these regrets have been circumstantial Now give me all the cash out the drawer Touch that mustache down on the floor And I'll be in court holding a pitchfork Before I let the contest outlast the sport Pocket watch, impatient Find a mate then make the migration Break the rules, but first break the rulers And keep it moving like a rumor I don't need to defend my defensiveness I keep to myself, my family, and friendships I've got enough people I could disappoint If you disagree I think you missed the point Now go ahead and grab a chair Let me tell you about the last few years Pulled out a sack full of Samson's hair And put it on the dash like a dancin' bear I wrote you a horoscope It won't fit on this post-it note But if I had to sum it up into a shorter quote It goes fuck it, you might as well row that boat

Individually wrapped, placed in neat little rows Becoming a piece, of everything that grows Some numbers, a name, to indicate you played the game Came empty handed and left the same A soul is a soul and a shell is a shell The border in between is full of everything you felt Some cling to a cross because they're tired and lost They leave it up to the weather to measure the cost And everytime I look within I recognize the darkness Familiar to the image of the artist Staring at the bathroom mirror in a strangers apartment Can't remember her name, don't remember how I got here But here I am, thinking about death again Humbles out the stress, helps the breath get in I need to check my friends as well as my next of kin To let them know I love them all to the end. And when the soul begins to reap, I think she'll know me from the sleep I keep caught in the corner of my bloodshot eyes And if she has the nerve, to let me dump a couple last words I'm gonna turn to the earth and scream "Love your life!" Love your life, quite cliche but I guess thats me A ball of pop culture with some arms and feet As discrete as I've tried to keep the drama and cancer It's no secret that I hunger for someone to feed the answers I never expected a bowl of cherries I'm just a virgo trying to find my own version of the virgin Mary And when I let them carry me to a cemetary I wanna be buried with a pocket full of clarity. Now, how many times must you prove you're an angel How many more demons do you have to strangle How much longer must you remain in this dream Before I finally figure out if you're insane or a genius. How many times must you prove you're an angel How many more demons do you have to strangle How much longer must you remain in this dream Before I finally figure out if you're insane or a genius. Let no tears to fall from none of y'all Just remember it all, the beauty as well as the flaws L-O-V-E L-I-F-E Here lies Sean, finally free And as I look across the sea I smile at the sun While it feeds the weeds the nutrition they need The people still breathe, the city still bleeds I'm going to love it to death and keep planting my seeds I'm going to love it to death and keep an eye on the seeds I'll be in love till I'm dead, I keep reaching the seeds I'll give all I got left just to teach you to read Love life to the death and keep planting my seeds. And when the soul begins to reap, I think she'll know me from the sleep I keep caught in the corner of my bloodshot eyes And if she has the nerve, to let me dump a couple last words I'm gonna turn to the earth and scream (Love your life) How many times must you prove you're an angel How many more demons do you have to strangle How much longer must you remain in this dream Before I finally figure out if you're insane or a genius. How many times must you prove you're an angel How many more demons do you have to strangle How much longer must you remain in this dream Before I finally figure out if you're insane or a genius.

Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah Put your hands up like you give a damn and a fuck, put 'em up, put 'em up Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah She said she want somebody she could take care of And right then is when we paired up Pull a chair up and make space for yourself You should taste what I felt It's probable that those on the bottom gonna hold you accountable It's lonely at the top and it's also hostile Everyone got their own course full of obstacles Don't let your heart grow cold like a popsicle She said she want someone to treat her as an equal And right then we started speeding towards Reno Burning rubber in a burgundy Regal Fly like the dove then dive like an eagle I'm a 70 deuce, that year was a classic Buzz got loose and we're here trying to catch it She said that she was unimpressed That's when I stood up and did the Kanye West Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah Put your hands up like you give a damn and a fuck, put 'em up, put 'em up Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah She said she needed a place to feel free And right then we started building a team Trying to make a better perfect, a little purpose The only thing for certain is the sleep disturbance But every since people started measuring time We've been looking for an easy way to settle our mind Take a load off or take your clothes of Or shut your eyes and roll straight for the roadblock She said she needed something that she could blame And right then is when I offered my name It's the only thing I've got that'll always remain So I'mma share it with you so you can complain too She said she want to find a cure for death I knew she meant that in the purest sense But when I finally die put on your Sunday best Then throw your hands in the sky like Kanye West Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah Put your hands up like you give a damn and a fuck, put 'em up, put 'em up Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah You need to prove nothing to me The time got a price, but the trouble is free If we gonna struggle I'mma do it comfortably And live life like I love to breathe Oh yeah, oh yeah

Don't even know if I can write this song Caught on a beam between right and wrong Got to keep forward, keep straight For the sake of why we stay awake all night long It's not up for interpret Paranoid of exploiting the verdict But in the same breath I got thoughts that I want to express and let surface This ain't for props or the pop culture It's about a balloon that got punctured The sunshine's fun till it burns someone And we all got burnt that summer She was sixteen Another young angel with clipped wings She came to the shows, but I never met her Don't even know if she was listening That night, we lost a supporter That night, somebody lost a daughter He raped and killed her at the venue Can't comprehend what her friends must have went through That night, the sun went dark Now watch everyone on the tour bus fall apart That night, Lord have mercy The music died that night in Albuquerque Stop, it can't be true right? This type of real doesn't happen to you right? Cresent, Murs, Dibbs, Jaybird I want go home now and start a new life Wish I could protect the kids I guess safety is hit or miss With a prior convicted sex offence against A four year old, why we let you live? Don't know what I'm trying to write But there's a part of me that keeps dying at night And when I think about her mother I become another number that wants you to suffer You're locked up for now You have no more chances to steal the children's laughs And if you ever find God Better pray to her and ask that we never cross paths

I wrote this one when I was still alive Hey you, yeah you, listen And if I had a horse To climb up and ride off into the warmth I'd never turn around I'd just kick up this dust 'til I find where I'm found And If I qualified as a genius Maybe I'd live out my dreams and die dreamless These voices in my life are all make-believe Trying to find a way to exploit my choice of pain relief It doesn't really go very high if it was born to fly And when it come to divide, we've gotta multiply You make me wanna understand your graffiti You're tryna make me feel like somebody needs me I'm examining the clouds like I'm looking for a sign I hope you're having a good time If you wasn't afraid, would you lie so much? You got your tail between your legs chasing fire trucks You can tell I'm not the best at expressing how I felt That's why I hide it inside the words I spell I mix the medication, it fixes whatever ails them And now she treats me like a snake oil salesman, huh Well, thank you for your vote of confidence I don't give a shit about how it figures into all your politics Still believe you gotta make your art, play your part The world waits for you to break my patient heart Now let me find a road by the airport To park and watch the planes arrive and think of what I'm here for And I ain't tryna kill the vibe, but I'm grateful that you're still alive Now gimme a high five It doesn't really go very high if it was born to fly And when it come to divide, we've gotta multiply You make me wanna understand your graffiti You're tryna make me feel like somebody needs me And that's what we s'posed to do I guess Spread love 'til you've used your last breath No matter what the challenges hold I was bold because I knew that we could handle the cold And just in case I don't say this enough Thanks for the love, I love the way that you love And I ain't making this up, you put some change in my cup And then you gave me a hug, it's like you came from above It doesn't really go very high if it was born to fly And when it come to divide, we've gotta multiply You make me wanna understand your graffiti You're tryna make me feel like somebody needs me

Yo, yo, yo I wish that I had something to say That could wipe that smile right off of your face Here take my hand pretend you know my man Blame it all on the game, blame it all on the game (To cold dis another's a thing that we love) (So here's another one to get jealous of, do it Ja!) So put your hand up if you remember the Juice Crew They don't make em' like they used to This supposed to be the new school? Your guns are aimless, songs are nameless How long you been famous? I claim this region to hundred-mile radius Twin Cities' flavors Rhymesayers got the tastiest And you can hate me, it's part of the territory As long as you know it's impossible to ignore me From middle fingers to hugs, tofu to the drugs The fight fists, might as well just take pictures of Slug And live out your own life to the fullest Why you starin' at my feet when you're standin' in this bullshit? You could never learn how to ride a bike without balance So what's the point of trying to grab the mic without talents? Go get your brakes looked at, you fucking fake hood rat Wanna be the basement's greatest? Too late, already took that! Father knows best, but Father knows stress But Father needs love, a back rub, and some rest Damn, he could use a good home cooked meal Been burnin' both ends since he broke the seal Up, up and away, watch him take off Give himself a little hell and quit the day job And ignite the sunlight, tryin' to write about life About face, break the fear, and you're here till the plight And I wish that I had something to say That could wipe that smile right off of your face Here take my hand pretend you know my name And blame it all on the game, blame it all on the game Cats be walkin' into the spot like they own it Wearin' a face that they should save for they opponents With the shoelaces tied, yet too wasted to drive Either way I've arrived to bless this place with my vibe Yeah right, my vibe ain't even cool I sit in the corner and drink until I slur and drool The t-shirt says shoot pool, not people Kill time, not life, grab the mic and let the beat go But that's good for me It's hard to hide a magic card when you wear a short sleeve Force feed what I've got when they not hungry Tryin' to replace everything that they ripped off from me Bloke the tummy, and choke the dummy theory Beat the point dead until these folks hear me clearly Keep it all simple, a simplistic intricate Rebuild the robots with bigger tits and little fists Repo man, a world full of slow jams Grab the prize and clutch it tight with both hands Why go to serve tall talk? Anyone that calls this fall off can suck my balls off I ain't goin' nowhere, I'm still here, right here Same spot that I stood when you first woke up The same guy that grabbed the mic and made your girl wanna fuck The same MC still runnin' on an empty tank of luck And I wish that I had something to say That could wipe that smile right off of your face Here take my hand, pretend you know my name And blame it all on the game, blame it all on the game And I wish that I had something to say That could wipe that smile right off of your face Come here take my hand, pretend you know Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) (Because of the beats and the rhymes we invented)

When I feel like nothing' I gotta get up to somethin' If you feel like nothin' You better get up And when they test you, are you gonna pass or fail? Got lost in your face like I'm followin' acid trails She tried to call me when she got out of jail It rang forever, it never went to the voicemail This goes to all my birdies out in Albuquerque Don't ever let 'em put the thermometer in your turkey Raw like Neneh Chеrry and Eddie Murphy If your posse's full of outlaws, you might be my attorney I wear my sunglasses at the airport I'm horizontal on the carpeted floor by the food court But my shoes are clean, neither are missing A player wakes up before he dreams about pissing Back when I was green, I used to rap to be seen I just wanted to be a part of the team But now I'm in some blue jeans, lookin' like Bruce Springsteen Know what I mean? It wasn't even close to Halloween You smell like a pillowcase full of sugar Please, you prolly got some cheese up in your burger Hoes gotta eat too, peace, Mr. Witherspoon Leaves in a swimming pool, listen fool If it's all the same to you Tell me how you gonna kick it like a kangaroo When you sound like some dude that sounds like another dude? Rubber from the inner tube What's the hullabaloo, Winnie the who? They call me Sean, I used to hang out with your aunt Toke a little kush and play a little tonk I knew your daddy and your fast ass mom So what, so what, so what you want? What you want, huh? I drove the bandwagon Used to have fantasies of Vanity's ass in The Last Dragon I'm closing in on 50 and my fashion is flagrant I'm officially too old for these pants to be sagging When you don't know where you are put your eyes to the sky And identify the North Star Watch it as it storms toward the podium like, "Give me your support" Before I go young buck up in your guts with a dinner fork Pour a little liquor out for the deceased And spit a sick 40 for my fortunate peeps I only came here to catch a couple of looks And pull some fish out your lake with my rusty hooks When I feel like nothin' I gotta get up to somethin' If you feel like nothin' You better get up to somethin' When you feel like nothing You gotta get up to somethin' If you feel like nothin' You better get up

Uh, You got a bag full of paint, a head full of brain No snow, no rain, ain't got no complaint Like you high on that Krylon runnin' through your veins You look like a war vet starin' at them trains It's like you zenned the fuck out Sittin' in the bushes, lettin' all the bugs out One smoke, one beer, when the coast is clear You disappear into your zone, stoned on the fear Lookin' at scarred box cars Focus in and notice one of the ones most fit It's like that one there, has got your name all over it So that one there, is gettin' your name all over it Pull a can of sky blue for the outline Sky for the limits, blue for the down time Nerves at blast, disturbin' the masses of rats with these thin tips and fat caps Thinkin' 'bout your little brother 'Cause he been tryna hit the yard with you all summer It's a good thing that you didn't bring him along 'Cause that's when you saw the flashlights singing this song like Run, run, run these yards Run, run, don't get caught Run, run, every piece understood (I wanna tell 'em you were good on the foot, now) Run, run, run these yards Run, run, don't get caught Run, run, every piece understood (Better believe you ran as fast as you could) It wasn't fast enough, a simple catch Cornered in the parking lot, hidin' in the trash You heard the footsteps, heart beatin' hard Are you gonna have to fight with a trainyard guard? You stepped out on some "yup, let's start this" Puffin' out your chest like you wasn't in the garbage And that's when the universe stopped for ya Now ya lookin' straight at a uniformed officer What you think, should you run, run And take a chance at gettin' some from his stun gun That ain't one on one, plus he look kinda young The type that might beat your ass just for fun, huh So tell me what the fuck are you supposed to do Already thinkin' about the cuffs holdin' you Already got a few cases over you But then the police man says "no, it's cool" What, where's the punch line? Can't call it Too many paint fumes, must've lost it He handed you your bag and said "Here, I think you dropped this" 'Cause this cop grew up on hip hop (got it) Run, run, run these yards Run, run, don't get caught Run, run, every piece understood (It all depends on where the pieces are put) Run, run, run these yards Run, run, don't get caught Run, run, every piece understood (Now do your thing and make the neighborhood look good)

It's gonna be alright It'll be okay I think that needs to be established For all of us that are easily distracted Impatiently waiting for that American dream Staring at the cracked screen of my anti-facts machine Crash landed where the woke intersect with the exhausted They asked if I'm depressed I don't doubt it I was told it all began as a quest for some knowledge Progress after you process the conflict I'll be okay and if I got one wish I'd probably waste it trying to make myself an optimist It's ironic because most of my thoughts are positive Just hop in the whip I promise not to drive off of the cliff Happiness is my favorite physical feature But I'm afraid I'll figure out that it's a mythical creature I need to believe in the simulation that we're living in Spent the whole stimulus check on some stimulants I'll be okay just freestyle the answers If you feel it put your hands up in front of surveillance cameras Okay I don't take the buffet for granted Make you understand it when you see me licking my plate We gotta travel through space to keep the family safe Check your connections can they can handle the bass If they reflect your face it amplifies the Existence of your significance But only if you survive the collision It'll be okay Even if you're feeling like there ain't no way You're still with us today It's gonna be okay Okay, alright It'll be okay Even if you're feeling like there ain't no way You're still with us today It's gonna be okay Okay I think I'm feeling alright And I'll admit that sometimes I'm probably tongue-tied Got me staring at the sun like my shoes ain't come untied The clown face got replaced by this mountain of the Midwest average from the mid-2000's And being the best was never the intended destination I just want appreciation for my presentation Even if I was the only human left in population This is dedicated to the dedication You better love yourself today because tomorrow will be harder Put your guard up don't let them penetrate your armor Collect whatever crumbs you got and keep them in a bread box You knew I was the one when I was sleeping in the wet spot And baby if you had a dollar for all of your doubters Maybe you could grow a salad and water the flowers I know the zookeeper seen my leash and my collar I'm in a tuxedo smoking weed in the shower It'll be okay Even if you're feeling like there ain't no way You're still with us today It's gonna be okay Okay, alright It'll be okay Even if you're feeling like there ain't no way You're still with us today It's gonna be okay Okay I think I'm feeling alright

I'm not really supposed to talk about this... but... With the excitement of a new born Came to join the main event and fight against the luke warm With nothing but they word and they history Take a can of paint and try to decorate they dignity It's not what they anticipate But, fuck, it doesn't matter, put your fists up and instigate And they can't save the planet Or the children of the bandits Or themselves god damn it I'm just a man that loved rap, so much in fact I put every piece of myself inside these fucking cracks What is that, you whisper something from the back? You think your personal attacks Make up for what you lack? I'm just a cat searching for a clean lap To crash in a world hurting, waiting for they turn to take a nap Sorting through bills, fan mail and life threats Wonderin why the postman ain't delivered my wife yet They call me Sean, this is Anthony No need to act hard cause we got extended family So I smile while I try to use my words wise Say what I meant just in case this is your first time Via child of the wings tired Smilin' like a couple of fools that the queen hired Can't wait for the vibrate to thicken So we can watch the world tip side. WAIT! Even the dead's gettin live It's a little deeper, you can float, come on baby dive! To fall in love with this bitch From the petals on her flowers to the pimples on her tits Fuck the insults, and fuck the compliments Just wanna see the mommy free the honesty and the common sense Stop followin the wind that you swallow Cause it's too simple to aim for a target sittin on a fence We do it for the candle in the sky Here's a toast to those who can't handle their high You and I, we can swim into the tide And watch these other children lose they mind (I'm growing tired!) And they landed safe and sound Better try to take 'em out before they make their saviors proud So fix your beef, quit actin' like a sheep Either spit your speak or sit there and grit your teeth To spread the info to the kin folk Fuckin' with the climate on the inside of the windows They're here, the baby farmers gonna take it farther Make a mark and break apart your fake martyrs Plans act firm, let the planet burn Understand the terms, you don't wanna open up this can of worms I'm tryin to keep the prize on the eyeball But people wanna see you fly all to watch the sky fall Who's to blame for your lack of conviction I wasn't drafted, I asked for the mission Put your name on the list at the bottom on an empty line And hope in plain sight what ever gave you the right to question mine? The night prowler, gonna crawl past all the rap politics You can put that on your last dollar Wake up, it's bigger than a pay stub There's the door, get your money, go wash off your make-up And they don't need to love it If you don't wanna give it, keep it Doesn't really mean nothin' Come and beat it 'til it stops breathin' No need to even try to reason When they not leavin'

It was still dark when Mark arrived Maybe 6: 45 in the morning time In the tenth grade, we was tight friends But neither of us had a driver's license His mom was a flight attendant And she'd leave town with a Cadillac unattended So we used to get tempted, That intense tendency to tend to what we wasn't meant to We would skip out on class and shit To go visit other schools, just tryin to act cool And looking back I have to laugh at it Cause all we did was burn up gas and flunk math fool But still it was super ill, I mean two teenagers in a new Seville With 1987 in the tapedeck That was a part of my life that I'll never forget It went...

Yeah, I saw the sign in the window, for the job Yeah I got a high school education, but that's all Skills? You wanna know if I got some skills? Yeah I got some skills This goes out to all my friends What you gonna be when you grown up? I'm all grown up and still don't know what I mop throw up, I rock a tow-truck Long as it means that I can get old and post up I used to be a typical winner Living off the gratuity from delivering your dinner Cause as a kid, I didn't consider That I would get the opportunity to be a full-time spitter I love this occupation I got bosses across the nation Validation is an understatement And I don't really know how to take a vacation My kind don't have any free time I'm so distracted, but everything's fine I speak shine and I read signs Appreciate your opinion but this dream's mine It's all love, we're cool But you don't tell a cowboy what to do I was the ugly kid that didn't listen Little big man full of ambition Based on imagination, just like you Daydreaming, thinking bout the things I might do I used to paint, draw and illustrate Mom would facilitate and it would feel okay Seems like yesterday still plays a part When I grow up, I wanted a job making art Picture that, how many years old? Young enough to mix up love with career goals But I was just this tall when they told me That the world was mine, but the papers weren't signed There's no deed, so proceed to go seed Up the whole piece like it owes me groceries Don't breathe until you formally know me Won't leave? Better call authorities It's all love, we're cool But you tell an astronaut what to do The turntables stole my heart Burnt the paintbrush, broke it apart I miss it, I might revisit But I wasn't that good, I admit it, maybe you can't tell But as a kid, I wanted to be Melle Mel And later as a teenager I wanted to be LL Then I discovered weed and I wanted to be Del But thank God eventually I found myself It's funny when I bump into fools I used to go to school with, and they ask what I'm doing Half of the time I want to crack a lie But fuck it, I'm still a wannabe rapper guy Hahaha, yeah I guess that it seems that way I get to see the world, and it's decent pay As long as somebody want to see us play I wake up every morning and I seize the day It's all love, we're cool But you don't tell the president what to do It's like that y'all, it's like this y'all I don't get to call in sick y'all

Woke up to that familiar feeling Staring at an unfamiliar ceiling Still got yo jeans on but yo topless Headache and your stomach feels nausious Grab your shirt off the bedroom floor Try to recollect the night before How'd you get from the bar to this mattress And when you got here, then what happened? And where's the who that lives here In this house, wanna figure out how'd you get here But the thought got cut by nature Find the bathroom, the gut got anger Here it comes cant avoid it Aint first time throwin' up in a strange toilet Anyone else would leave But you, you crawl back to the bed and fell back asleep All we need is because Come and party with us Take care of you when you're passed out Right there with you in your glass house All we need is because Come and party with us Take care of you when you're passed out Right there with you in your glass house Woke up all alone with no friends Bet you had to throw up again Choke up the tears and the spit Grab some tissue to wipe off your lips And everything still spins And then the chills begin And the 'god please kill me right now' hits And you still dont know whose house this is In between left over dry heaves, Youre tryin to check out your time piece And you should call your job But first gotta turn this hangover off You dream that its just a dream Until the phone in your pocket starts to scream Shut it down, dont want to hear a sound Heavy is the head that wears that crown All we need is because Come and party with us Take care of you when you're passed out Right there with you in your glass house All we need is because Come and party with us Take care of you when you're passed out Right there with you in your glass house Hangover aint a strong enough word It dont describe what just occurred Lookin at a phone full of missed calls Probably all the people that you pissed off Everything seems so sour So you force yourself into the shower Standing up brings out the stars And the whole bathrooms smells just like a dive bar Cant do it, better sit And let the tub be the catchers mit Lay down, face down Thank god whoever lives here aint around Now what you need is silence And you dont want no one to see you like this Maybe you dont recognize it But this is your home, this is where your life lives All we need is because Come and party with us Take care of you when you're passed out Right there with you in your glass house All we need is because Come and party with us Take care of you when you're passed out Right there with you in your glass house

Self-service, getting it to go A lot of work for a little bit of dough Wipe the dirt out the window of the soul Fish with my pole from the middle of the snow Still running, bound to build something Even though we all surrounding by hills crumbling Lil young'n, we kill assumption Come hit us up, you wanna feel the function? We proof of what you could do If you would have took the lead to speak truth You look cute little sheep in a wolf suit Lost on a rook move, shoot That sense of direction, misconception Get your check and then skip the lesson Get paranoid and collect protection Get destroyed by the boy just stepped in Ain't nobody gon' stay when the stack cracks Nowadays they ain't tryna save a rat's ass Hit the gas and mash past the trash I wouldn't want it any other way and that's that On this tit till it's going flat When I'm gone you can taste my frozen tracks My crew stay deep and we don't relax Ain't going to sleep, too old for naps They say go to hell if you're tryna fold some cash Well ring the bell, there ain't no more class Pot or smack, but don't know the facts Spot is packed, who owns the map? I'm not convinced, y'all overact You're on the bench tryna choke the bat I headline shows that they hoping that I get mine, they can go cloak and dag' You had the chance to hold me back I still advance, fade slow to black Y'all are just ants till it all collapse Put both your hands up and throw me claps, c'mon Clap, clap, clap, everybody clap Clap, clap, clap your hands to what he's doing We get 'em jumping around like a swarm of crickets And that's ordinary normal business And you trying to ignore the visit But your girl's online bout to score some tickets I was born a crumb, I'm a poor decision I'll die a crumb, I'm sure it's written But first I'ma smash over ornaments And then bounce 'fore they announce the court's opinion We all rapper rappers We all wanna capture stature like any of it matters Ass backwards and a lack of words Only thing that you're killing me with is laughter They used to cap and call me a backpacker But they was mad I had my mack mastered Went up the ladder and I seen the ants So now I treat each track like it's the last chapter Can't take it for granted, cause when it's done I gotta subject my breath to the shit I've run Gotta respect the mess I'm sitting on So let's get it on until the nipple's gone

(She) Please have mercy on me. Please have a little mercy on me. (He) Watcha gonna do? Slam Doors? Break a glass? Maybe pass out on the kitchen floor with your naked ass? She still makes time to hate me But basically I'm overbooked no emotional vacancy Complacency seems so simple Like fuck it, let me be the one you fight and call mister right It's and addiction bound to stick around 'Cause a junky won't bounce 'till he hits the ground (get down) And these drugs ain't as good as we wish they were (get up) And this buzz doesn't keep us from missin' her (get over) And that love that built all of this emphasis Spilled enough guilt to kill Electra and Oedipus (get out) It's easier to leave it there Each time I see your tears makes me need a beer to relieve the fear I wanna keep a clear sky and fly away like a meteor Outta here maybe next year I'll reappear I say hey there, we don't play fair We can't stay here, I hope you take care I say hey there, we don't play fair We can't stay here, I hope you take care I say hey there, we don't play fair We can't stay here, I hope you take care I say hey there, we don't play fair We can't stay here, I hope you take care Sometimes you make me feel like such a prick That even I'm convinced that I'm the one that's sick You can fuss and bitch, you can cut your wrist Or you can choke on that blood from the tounge you've bit And when you acted up, best believe I blessed you back I've got a fucking fan base that can attest to that I'm returning this bleeding hearts club membership card 'Cause I want no motherfuckin' part of it We're just two dogs on all fours It's a tug of war for who loves you more Blame it on tours or locked bathroom doors Or maybe it's 'cause my voice was louder than yours (What? You jealous?) And I'll be damned if I do this for forever Everybody lookin' at me like I don't know better Instead I gotta run if I'm ever gonna forget her 'Cause I've always been a go-getter (So whatever) I say hey there, we don't play fair We can't stay here, I hope you take care I say hey there, we don't play fair We can't stay here, I hope you take care I say hey there, we don't play fair We can't stay here, I hope you take care I say hey there, we don't play fair We can't stay here, I hope you take care And now I got a head full of better off dead I followed down them steps, and slept in the wrong bed If I had a breath of self-respect left I'd set fire to the boxspring to help it catch wreck Let these ashes represent the mattress Director left the set but nobody told the actress So she's still actin' as if we scheduled a practice And my soundtrack is compromisin' her theatrics You, you remind me of me, it's not a compliment Get your song on You, who you tryin' to be? I've got no tolerance left for drama You, you would like to go free, jump off the fence let your claws out You, you remind me of me, run from all of them 'til they all gone Then, here we go again, with my threats to leave Like I've ever left a she who wouldn't let me breathe Instead I kept it deep enough to get you to believe That I'm incapable of escapin' and settin' you free Well I'mma open up that map and see the nation Call it vocation, call it a vacation You can find me at the airport waitin' Or maybe I'll be chain smokin' down at the train station With the pose of a mack and my clothes in a sack Gotta go and I don't know when I'll be back Get my last paycheck, smash and make steps Gone, on the run with Kool G.

He knew he wasn't perfect But he always did his best to try to get under the surface Not a saint, not a serpent He just wanted everyone to be impressed with him as a person So when she came along with the sunbeam Self-esteem stopped making nothing outta somethings Leaving the scene was unseen, I mean It was the first time he ever felt the need to keep the gun clean Do the math He knew he had to choose a path Gotta get that girl, gotta make her laugh Gotta shake the past and move forwards Gotta make this last, it feels gorgeous But she had a lover in the mid-west Never figured out how to get him off her thick chest Just like that everything is gone He didn't wanna but he had to learn the words so he could sing along Everything is all I have to give you And I'm afraid it ain't enough And you're not so young that you believe me Just because I say its love And even if they come to steal you tomorrow I'll know my smile was yours Go ahead and chase your dreams and your freedom Run, run wild wild horses You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses, no You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses Sometimes it can be so nice, right? Sometimes she feel herself turn into the wife type And when its dark, sometimes he's the nightlight But most of the time she doesn't even feel lifelike She got a man but he thinks hes a star And it feels like she has to compete with the bar She keeps up her guard but it seems so hard Mama never told her she would see those scars Every night he's out doing who knows whom While she cries along like a new show tune Last call passed, is he coming home soon? Or is he gonna run away with the dish and the spoon? She'll realize she don't want that clown Leave those shoes at the lost and found He won't catch on until shes not around After somebody else already locked that down We sing... Everything is all I have to give you And I'm afraid it ain't enough And you're not so young that you believe me Just because I say its love And even if they come to steal you tomorrow I'll know my smile was yours Go ahead and chase your dreams and your freedom Run, run wild wild horses You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses, no You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses He didn't want her to see him leave And he couldn't keep sitting there watching her sleep 'Cause he knows if he hangs out for a few hours He'll dig another hole trying to plant some new flowers But the sun don't shine under the table He's trying to hold his life together with staples No investment 'cause he's incapable And he's on the outro of being labeled available The word on the street is his girl's comin' back home No more alone, no more sad poems No after-bar calls to the cell phone Its time to walk a new path and grow a backbone Shoved into the big book of just friends Wondering how he would look as a husband And everyone of 'em he ever allowed to love him Now watching from the crowd tryin to be proud of him They say... Everything is all I have to give you And I'm afraid it ain't enough And you're not so young that you believe me Just because I say its love And even if they come to steal you tomorrow I'll know my smile was yours Go ahead and chase your dreams and your freedom Run, run wild wild horses You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses, no You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses

And if we knew each other Maybe we would love each other Or maybe we should wanna run far away To find a place the other could never discover And if we knew each other Maybe we would love each other Or maybe we should wanna run far away To find a place the other could never discover And if I was your lover Would you let yourself suffer? Should you ever have to give another second thought To whether or not you could discover somethin' better off? But if it turns out I was the right one Would you return to work this out like, "Hi, Sean"? I should remind you, I'm just one fish There's an ocean full, you could take your pick And don't forget to take some pics and if I'm just a Band-Aid Would it be considered bad taste If we should decide to let the ship set sail? It could be the destination that's destined to fail And if I was a poor choice When I made noise, would you hear me in your voice? Should we be concerned about the future of Or do you think that we can turn this into some mutual love? And if we knew each other Maybe we would love each other Or maybe we should wanna run far away To find a place the other could never discover And if we knew each other Maybe we would love each other Or maybe we should wanna run far away To find a place the other could never discover If we was just acquaintances Would we still have this amazing sex? Should we try to wake up and make some pancakes? Could we find a way to combine our campaigns? If this was just a friendship How would that be any different? Should you be instigatin' my decision makin' If it couldn't compliment the experience that you're chasin'? I gotta know if it's just a phase Would you put away the maze? I should get paid to feel this crazy We could both raise the argument we both deserve a little change And if it's all the same to y'all Would you please step aside and let me take this fall? Should you still feel like you've got a case to prove You could tell everybody I'm afraid of you (Huh) And if we knew each other Maybe we would love each other Or maybe we should wanna run far away To find a place the other could never discover And if we knew each other Maybe we would love each other Or maybe we should wanna run far away To find a place the other could never discover

As far back as he cares to remember He used to see his old man lose the temper And mama's pretty face would catch it all On a regular basis the nest would fall But he was always safe from dad's rage 'Cause mama sacrifice in his place Two dozen years of the blood, sweet, tears Avoid the mirror, losing her hair from the fear She never left him, she stayed inside He beat her ass up until the day that he died In fact, the biggest beating was the day that he died 'Cause now it's too late for her to make a new life She gets to mourn for the touch of a punch Won't ever admit that she ain't clutching at much Someday she'll die, it still won't be done The anger lives on through their son 'Cause he saw, he caught it all A childhood of watching ma and pa get raw It's too bad for him, nah that's half the truth 'Cause you back with him now and he's smacking you What happened to you? You don't have a clue Did your mama use to suffer accidents too? I never knew that you would stand for abuse I guess I just assumed you'd pack up and move Think about when you left him last time Said out loud you'd never forgive his past crime Sunglasses so dark, scarf around the neck to cover the choke marks And since you got it just a fire returning You convinced yourself that he's just a hurt person You wanna blame that cross he bares But his pop's not there when he tosses you down stairs Let me be the last to say, please don't stay Let me be the last to say, you won't be okay Please put your shoes on and step into that warm leather Go get yourself a more better forever Gotta put it down, you gotta leave it And don't ever come back again You gotta mean it Just tear it all apart and build new 'Cause if you don't kill him he's gonna kill you You can't hold hands when they make fists And I ain't the first to say this But let me be the last to say, please don't stay Let me be the last to say, you won't be okay Let me be the last to say, please don't stay

She abandoned me left out in the cold No suprises i guess that's how it goes Sits across from me in a booth in this dive I contemplate how much more i can survive But-how i'm alive so i should be content Then tell why the hell my whole world is bent I was sento make and frustrate the population Inbetween the alcohol and the copulation What you callin' it If you build it i will break it What's wrong, how you doin' Naa, save it Gave a fraction of all i had to give I guess i hold a grudge becuase you still got my rib with cha Beautiful eyes, and scrupulous lies Now watch this circus clown run around in circles and try Seems like all i get to eat is Hope Girl if we got along better we'd be dope Oh walls, they surround me Lonliness has found me And for as much as i complain I'm lovin' it And i only mention it so that i can rub it in Wake up to the sunlike shake off last night Check what's left and try to get the rest right Decision spklitting headache lifting Symptoms matching Mamma was afraid of it Knowledge of self ain't as evil as they made it Call it what you want If you build it they will break it The plain truth, there's no substitute But sometimes she wears a disguise-yes you do A story teller deals with life not Hope Girl if we got along better we'd be dope And that's the sound that a dog will make When he's just been hit with a car That's the tone that hits close to home When the cocaine outlives the star That the noise that disrupts the boys When the q-ball packs the bowl And these are the words that disturb the earth When i walk away with your Hope
