Lyrics:
BACK HERE:
I know
I’ve been gone too long
Presence faded
Somewhat jaded
Heart is keeping me from song
Blood is aged
Bird is caged
Can’t keep up and play along
Can’t afford to get it wrong
I’m no upper echelon
Barely rated
Fairly hated Me
What’ll be the reception?
We’ll see
At least I’m back with it
Add it to the stack of tracks from Jack
If you dig it like that
Here’s another one
Packed to the brim about him on another run
Written on a whim so thin
Call it impulse
One beat
2 credits down, 2 rounds
Some meta four
Gotta line your 20s
If you’re keeping up the high score
Addict mathematics
At it back to back
Before I empty rack
Or have another heart attack with it
WHY NOT?:
Another day, another dread
Like it's dripping on your head
Steady flow, no go
You can't get up out of bed
And as you're flooded with distress
Well, another day rises all the same
Can't address all that needs done
But can't let it go and run
It overwhelms you in a second
And the rush is never done
Weighs a ton
How's this set up any fun?
How's it really f***ing going, everyone?
But, but, but
This day will be different
No, no
This one will be better
I'll improve and prove I am
Willing
Down to every letter
Think I'm through with being grounded
So done I'll take a ladder
And I'll climb every rung
Gotta try touch the sun
Why not?
Look, the medicine ain't working and the doctor never calls
I'm sick and sick of climbing these rotten four walls
And all I've gotten is excuses and blame so far
I take the fall once again
I take the fall once again
But, but, but
This day will be different
No, no
This one will be better
I'll improve and prove I am
Willing
Down to every letter
Think I'm through with being grounded
So done I'll take a ladder
And I'll climb every rung
Gotta try touch the sun
Why not?
BE LONG:
You better get on your way
You better get on your way home
But you must get out each day
And you best not be alone
Don't be long
Don't get it wrong though
Don't belong
I con myself a little
You laugh, it's just a riddle
We can't work out
We're told to live one way
We're told to sing along
Hold the string and follow on
DON'T DARE:
There's testimony
And then there's truth
And there's claims of purity?
100? Proof?
You say you've wisdom?
Well, how long's that tooth?
And you're thinking all this is below you
I'm common, man
I'm uncouth
Well that stands to reason
But most of yours just fall
I ain't even calling you out
Nah, nah, nah
I ain't gonna call
At all
So eat that salt
Put it all on me
Yeah, it's not your fault
The self blind don't see any irony
It's ignoring is bliss
And I'm too old for this, but man
F*** you
I ain't even mad at all, I don't care
Just enough to put it in a song
So I guess you got me there
But you got it wrong
From your thousand yard stare
Who's surprised that you're unaware?
Don't dare
(That was micro, now it's macro)
Well the only righteous left are the self kind
And your only refuse is some helpline
Echoes speak, but their only for the hive-mind
If you wanna take it there, make your bee-line
Rich tease pricks
You know we don't need this
You already knew that
Only we bleed
This "never help the helpless, never same page"
Yeah, you who come from money just excuse, you disengage
Don't dare.
O.K.:
If you wanna go that way
You can put it all on me I say now
Since I ain't really got no use or way
I'm bitchin? Maybe?
Maybe, I'm glitching out?
But you can put it all on me
And I get so repetitive
Hand me another sedative
So listen
I want that peace you know
Silence is golden
But that awful fleece you throw down...
It don't cut it
There's a thought that grows
And it's a 'what if'
and it's 'a must'
What if all I gotta do
Is trust myself for once
Cause you're gonna put it all on me
So let's agree to
Disagree
