| Living through a cycle of nightmares, and they don’t fight fair
|
| But I’ll be right here, hands up high, with my parry arm up
|
| Til' I carry on up these dreams out the box up the right stairs
|
| And I’ve been fighting for a minute, a long list of givens
|
| That we chisel even if they cause schisms
|
| Or a crack or a break in the mold we make
|
| Pay tribute to the motherfucking tolls we paid
|
| I’m gone til' November, a long list of members
|
| That we missed on the list apologize for December
|
| The long winter fell on this game of thrones
|
| But I be living out the box til' I’m HBO
|
| We all fall, we all rise, we alright
|
| With the bumps and bruises proving to em' we all tried
|
| To do something with the gift, something to uplift
|
| Eating chicken noodle soup until my soul gets fit
|
| The biggest loser in the world or the duke of fucking earl
|
| Both poles represented while we looking for our plurals
|
| The we, the us, and all beings
|
| Who’re sick of being cynical and trying to find a meaning
|
| To this life that we cooked up, then we shook up
|
| Recipe we scratched cuz' the past got looked up
|
| The scars we took that we keep, cuz' the tat doesn’t cover the fact that we
|
| bleed
|
| The things we saw when we were young
|
| The time we did things just for fun
|
| I’d hate to lose even just one
|
| But I’ll let it go
|
| We learn the practice what we preach
|
| And practice, we still seem to cheat
|
| Practice preaching and practically
|
| But I’ll let it go
|
| Life stories that take shape and then get dented
|
| Veneers for the fake smile from that dentist
|
| The cheers from the crowd for the introspection
|
| Airholes in the pain til' we all feel vented
|
| But, we can’t slow down the timeline
|
| The mirrors got ears and the ears are allies
|
| We listen real close through the years and outline
|
| The parts that we love then repress those hard times
|
| Time we keep and time we lose
|
| We all hit delete when defeat stops snooze
|
| Or are the real dreams the day-mares
|
| Waking up longing for the ways of the day care
|
| The innocence gone, the renaissance song
|
| The cinema we live to pop-corn
|
| Amazed by the maze that we took for granted
|
| Put the dreams in the mail but forgot to stamp it
|
| And now they want junk, the postage went up
|
| And your rent check probably got stuck
|
| The lord of your land probably quite concerned
|
| Both sides of the aisle got to fight the urge
|
| To just fight for first, and then fight the curse
|
| That was made on the day that they felt the worst
|
| Cuz' that ain’t the truth that ain’t what’s you
|
| March to a different drummer til' you break the loop
|
| And Like
|
| The things we saw when we were young
|
| The time we did things just for fun
|
| I’d hate to lose even just one
|
| But I’ll let it go
|
| We learn the practice what we preach
|
| And practice, we still seem to cheat
|
| Practice preaching and practically
|
| But I’ll let it go |
