you gotta...
honor your word, do as you're told
by the ruler that owns your whole world
sounds pretty whack but you gave it all up
the moment you sold the devil your soul
he warned you about it and made it all clear
this the price you pay or else you disappear
and you gave it all up for that white rabbit
i hope it was the best fucking in the planet
hunger pains, while maintaining the strain
you gave up your reign and became a slave
drinking ice water to deceive your basket
how long until you get to rest inside your casket
bomb going atomic like newspaper comics
that made the mistake of making fun of islamics
for paris people mourned and the eagles complained
about the lack of guns that could prevent the pain
cut the wires and another one goes off
you gotta be careful because it's not a bluff
if you're close enough it'll blow your nose off
so try to stay away from all that stuff
our world is mayhem for your grey matter
don't bother concerning with political matters
it's not enough wanting to make it a better place
unless you act on it and begin the race
for greatness and making things better
but it's not so easy when you're a cynic
with a cold heart and no sweater
that struggles with lyrics
still hoping things get better
riding the waves of the ocean
like the waves of the song
the clouds in the bright skies
that ride the air waves above

outside...
bright sun in my eyes i'm tired
don't cry cuz the bright sky won't lie
tired of constantly being blind
tired of the rotting of the mind
time to look behind my eyelids it feels
timeless...
lying here in a backyard
that's not mine
missing all my tarot cards
feeling divine thinking without a line
waiting for science that will never arrive
i feel
timeless...
been sleeping on rhymes for nine days
hoping the writing inside the mind pays
attaining success is something i would like
but the way things are now it wouldn't be right
time goes by and you keep rotting inside
for days without end no weekend on sight
feeling worthless like shaking your dick
after taking a piss, zip up your pants quick
tomorrow you'll call in sick
bitch you aint slick
and it will all be over
no more exposure
like this fucked up verse
in the whole universe
been staring for hours
at this old tv
static noise channel
what does that even mean to me?
dramatic voice travel on top getting louder

dig your own grave if you don't wanna we brave
no one gives a fuck about the things you've made
everyone's a fucking asshole but so am i
and everyone is just so bad i wonder why
so many things wrong with the world
in this day and age
sometimes it feels like you being born
was a fucking mistake
you better man up and stop sucking ass
be a fucking moron and fuck someone up
tear their shit up before they kick your ass
don't bother cleaning up after beating them up
kill yourself my man
your life's not worth living
your shitty plan
makes me think you're just kidding
your life is a living hell, literally trash
so stop stalling, time to do something crass
break the rules
like when you break the glass
kill them all fools
for stepping on your grass

it's been too long
since we last heard of you
it all went wrong
the day they broke through
they took you away
and we thought you were dead
on that rainy day
i wish they had took me instead
dear shadow alive and well
how can the spirit die
while the body dwells
is it true
that it was all a mistake
or we misunderstood
the path we had to take
through the forest
and down to your grave
where the birds wait
and the tall grasses wave
they don't know you
anymore
it's been too long
since before the war
tall trees surround us
they're all around us
nobody will find us
they think we're all nuts
well hidden away
they will never find us
not until the day
we spill their damn guts
and once we're out
we're going for revenge
they'll live their life without
seeing any light again
dear shadow can you guide me
a truth seeker is the best i might be
the truth is hidden away in the light
like thieves hiding in the night
and we're so lost without a guide
the last remaining members of our tribe
without light we can't find the truth
we have spent looking for all of our youth

last night i had you in a dream
but now i wake up and realize you don't even exist
there was no kiss, someone slap my wrist
why would my brain play such a twist
you will be missed if i can't resist
the thought of you all inside a dream
without going extreme like a particle beam
i don't understand
and you know
how the sun shines through the window
it's a cloudy day today
and you make me think
you want me to stay
stay looking at me with that weird face
but i need to get away today
i don't like feeling so astray
ruins my mood and makes my mind break
i'm starting to think you don't even exist
all your thoughts are really inside my brain
it's foggy and i feel lost inside this mist
i realize the truth, my heart starts to pain
last night i had you in a dream
but now i wake up and realize you don't even exist
last night i had you in a dream
but now i wake up and realize you don't even exist
i can't tell what's real and what's in a dream
like the one last night made me feel so serene
i didn't want to leave the bed
but i needed to get up to get my bread
and i always felt so supreme
now it looks like it was all about me
makes me feel so foolish and wanting to scream
who thought it could ever end, like this
nothing's right and i don't even know what to do
i have no idea what to say because of you
and you don't even exist
someone slap my wrist
i must still be in a dream feeling ennui
feeling a strange nostalgia for the future
and the worst part is...
you don't even exist
someone please slap my wrist
i must still be in a dream feeling ennui
feeling a strange nostalgia for the future
or the past or the present
nothing's real anymore and i can't tell
i'm so lost and i have no idea what else
to say

feeling braindead can't think no more
been in my head for days and can't ignore
feeling drained and no idea what for
still trying not to fall to the floor
depressing thoughts galore inside my mind
inside there's nothing good to find
looking through all these rows i try
but really can't find the one thing i'm looking for
the answer that puts my mind to rest
maybe if i knew what it is
but to me it's still a mystery
i don't know if i can figure out this
the answer could end all my misery
but i'm tired and there's no guarantee
and i have no reason to believe
there must be something i can't see
so i try to forget by drinking beers
but i still don't know how to handle this
and i'm still longing for that kiss
from the girl that brought me so much bliss
i miss the time when i had no issues
i used to be ambitious and even had some wishes
but then everything went to shit and caused this condition
made me forget my mission, forever ruining my cognition
i wanna start all over again, make it an empty space,
a blank slate to get rid of hate,
and set my mind straight to discover my fate
and work to achieve a peaceful mental state
it's all a waste of time
and time can never be rewind
you blink and it's gone
so it's better not to spend it all
nowadays i struggle to breathe for air
try to stay clean and away from despair
but no matter what, it will always be there
gotta ignore it and listen to the kick and the snare

I don't know what's going on
Everyday when I wake up
I don't feel like looking up
Don't feel like moving on
Looking out the window
And wondering if he knows
I don't even wanna know
I don't know what's going on
I don't even wanna know
It's dangerous to go alone
It's dangerous to go alone
So go alone...
It's dangerous to go alone
He might not take it well
He might not take it well
He might not take it well
He might not take it well
He might not take it well
He might not take it well
He might not take it well
He might not take it well
The road seems very long
When I look back at my wrongs
Feel like I should make up
But first I need to wake up
From this idyllic dream
That's keeping my thoughts in
All bottled up inside and ready
To burst at any second, not steady
So don't go on your own
It's dangerous to go alone
So go and find your phone
Dial the number...
of the one who won't
call unless
you call him first
And ask nicely
for help
then you need to wait
he might not take it well
he might not take it well
he might not take it well

on friday got home late at night
slip into bed and close my tired eyes
oversleep until lunch then eat some pancakes
now It's Sunday and I'm taking a long break
my man called me, offering something to do
i asked him where, he said central avenue
some sort of festival or congregation
where lots of people meet to release some tension
i decided to go grab a quick bite
and maybe later drink something tight
wasn't looking for her, just happened to find
years later, still recognize that behind
I stepped up to say hi
but she seemed annoyed so I gave up
fast forward to the next day
today seems like a good day to produce and rhyme
let's get to it right away, waste no time
creativity's hard to come by sometimes
but if you just try something fine
might come alive, just in time
as i reminisce another one comes to mind
also saw the redhead that stole my heart
she always seemed fine and oh so kind
but she turned out to be of the cheating type
i only gave her a glance and then looked away
some might think that was weak and lame
but this girl was the one that broke my heart
i've been hating too much and need a fresh start
speaking of that, i've been trying for a while
to develop some sort of artistic style
i hope it's not as hard as it seems,
somebody might say just follow your dreams
here's a last one, a similar tale,
the one i always tell after drinking pale ales,
a really pretty girl, a modeling pearl
so cute you gotta keep her away from earl
i met her last sunday as well
and she was nice as hell
even though nothing's going to happen there
i just felt that was something i had to declare
man, her eyes are so big you can't look away
she's the type of girl you would never betray
she might be a siren that lures seamen away
oops, I think that came out the wrong way...
