It's all I hoped it wouldn't be As shit sails by and sun murders my face For all I know I shouldn't be here Decisions made through sleeplessness in haste Hear them calling Keep on moving Throw my hands up and float away Keep your grinning Your river roving Throw my hands up and float away All this motion amongst the trees What's left to conjure up to offer these Bastards screaming out to keep moving on Against the current trying to set me free Hear them calling Keep on moving Throw my hands up and float away Keep your grinning Your river roving Throw my hands up and float away And I hold my head up for certain death Then it dawns on me that I still have legs I could just stand right up clear out of this mess But I close my eyes and take one last breath Let me just float away Let me go

Ever since the day of my manufacturing The fear's instilled in me Of the hulking and imposing beast Who left my brothers broken at his feet Word came in that we were headed east Towards the aforementioned Cringe at the thought of him approaching me And how I'd tremble at his feet With the many that perished before me With the post ripped from the base threads clean And tossed aside like tainted meat When that day comes all I know Is I'll stand strong and hold my own Before I get smashed into eternity I'll convince the mic to shock him in his fucking teeth

Camo'd up friends by my side Black grip compass Rambo knife Everything is perfect outside Nothing's weighing on our minds May I be so bold to say we gave em hell today Not bottled up or pushed aside Spoken down to or marginalized There's opportunity in daylight That can't be seen through adult eyes May I be so bold to say we gave em hell today

Eye Sore 02:17
In the shadows got me tucked away in shade Freshly mulched and trimmed Manicured and made And I'm an eye sore in it An ugly mess inside this space Ahead a median the palm trees gently sway Glance up at them Feign indifference look away I turn a blind eye to it Cause I see palm trees everyday Blissful moment when the minutes tick away Trade perfection for an aggravated state I would kill to lay here but this fucking Earth won't let me stay
5.
Tantrum 02:29
You could tear yourself up from it Cause the fear has got ya going But the overwhelming want Has washed away your needs and so In a god forsaken notion That the time is never right And the answer lies in front of you Read clearly in hindsight And the ringing starts too early And the pieces of the night Try and put em back together But the fragments won't align The evidence is mounting Yeah a tantrum has been thrown The room's been all flipped over Contents strewn across the floor And ya cannot find the keys That were hurled in fits of rage In a hopeless disposition Stomping out your saving grace Keep your blueprints on the day Let your whole life tragedy Whittle down to some mistake In an old wild dream With the moments in between The world won't stop for nothing If there's air still left to breathe

If the circus in my head won't let up I'll be forced to quell the big top With mindless chatter shooting through the screen Drowning out all hopes and doubts and in between Open like and ocean Fleeting like a moment And I can't find my way I hope my own reflection doesn't conquer me And I hold it all together anyway if the ringing in my head won't let up I'll let the white noise in to soak up The distractions that get me through the day Hope these distractions never go a fucking way Open like and ocean Fleeting like a moment And I can't find my way I hope my own reflection doesn't conquer me And I hold it all together anyway
7.
The same bland stare The same blankness in the air The constitution severely weakened And bled dry to the bone Lapse in judgement Kindly shown The next disaster Need some flare Some static in the air No moral dilution and trite existing A liberating tear to the pages laid out bare With mindful purpose The same scars creep up Can't recall the meaning Were the just a ploy To keep the playing fields uneven Positive air gets pushed out by the impulse To damage to survive
