LYRICS
Dang cricket
Rabbit spinach
I’ve been stuck in the land of digits
I’m really five foot ten please try to believe me
Poor wording
Out of courage
No luck with the playful verbiage
Used all but ten percent of possible meanings
You really ought to know by now
That you get what you give
And if you don’t commit
You’ll be desperate just to fit in
They don’t practice
Then they wonder why they suck
Patient? Always been
Now don’t get outta touch
I should have told them that I know better
but now I’ll show ‘em that I’m know no quitter
I sit my house sucking smoke through my mouth
Glued to my couch trying not to go psychotic
I got cable to learn another angle
But I’m unable to get the hell out of my own head
It’s been about 15 years since I’ve changed my mind about any opinion
Clutching to all the same fears that live the tissue of my protoplasm
Talking heads
“Fuck the feds”
So well read
I’m impressed
How did you acquire all this undue confidence
By babbling about current events
And begging people “smash that like?”
Who that
Do that
Make improvements
Work the lane
Til worth consuming
Done
Bear that
Wear that
Slanging pain
Art like daggers, ball ‘n chain
Done
You’re never honest
Telling folks what they’ve missed
And now they’re all pissed
Trying not to be neurotic
Got no precision to leverage your ambition
Say you’ve got vision
Well, why are you always so God damn wrong?
It’s been about 15 years since I’ve changed my mind about any opinion
Clutching to all the same fears that live the tissue of my protoplasm
You offer nothing but you want it all
You need the adequate to cover for your shortfalls
Propitiating to your own cabal
Pitiful tantrums to show them you’re not small
Dying
In a dream
I should have fooled myself with self esteem
I wanna be oozing health
like sub machine
Instead, I’m chomping on rockets and sucking cream
