My friend Stanley, self destructed,
and I watched it all go down.
From the ashes came a sound that,
echoed soft and got drown out.
By the buzzing of a bug that,
bit him on the arm.
While using the other one to,
take whatever he got.
The swelling came, and no one gave,
Soon after that he made his mind,
even if a third of him was gone,
Him and his head, would make amends.

Melt it down,
Till the crust is golden brown,
If it’s not don’t take it out
Let it run,
Till it’s hotter than the sun,
Watch the crust rise just for fun
Now we all know how to bake a pie,
Like pumpkin and key lime,
But you can’t think about meringue because you’re vegan and it calls for 3 egg whites,
I have a slice or two,
At times I’m feeling blue,
And every flavor’s lovely so let’s try out something new,
We’ll choose from blueberry or cherry as a snack,
They’re both on sale at Walmart for 2 dollars and some tax,
My cart is spreading as I buy every pie they have
Exhausting all the resources on the bakery rack,
I’ll buy some pumpkin season and I’ll place it on the rack
AND IN MY OVEN
THE CRUST IS THIN

You're gonna learn today,
You're gonna go your own way.
You're on your own, you're dumb,
It's time to have some fun.
Your older self is bitchin,
At the younger itches,
That you have, you scratch every time.
But now were in the moment,
And you don't want to blow it,
So theres not a thing you won't try.
So you gotta learn today.
You're gonna do this your way.
Your on your own and you know,
And you want it to show.
Solo
Go head and burn the pages,
It's less stressful when aging.
And leave the evidence behind.
It's not the destination,
It's all about the journey,
And you're on the best one that you could find.

Clinically, she's fine.
But chemically, she's dying.
Codependent
Drove up the wall.
She's incoherent,
And slowly walks,
Through the house,
Stumbling around,
Speaking gibberish and making sounds.
From the different things she mixed into herself.
Shes gotta go and get some help,
Cause she is living in a hell she thinks that she is in control of as she dwells,
On everything she wishes that she felt.
She's a mother,
Demonstrating self destruction.
And her daughters lose themselves to give her love.
Eventually the crater that she's making with her life,
Will pull them all inside and they'll never have enough.
.
In the day,
Manipulate and state her case or sway the tables selfishly to someone shes supposed to raise.
When they're just trying to be happy while they watch her turn to Hyde when it gets dark, as their anger turns to hate.

Will I know you when you're older?
Will you look at me the same?
You're like watching the sun come out,
In the middle of the rain
Im humbled by your existence,
And everything with it you bring.
I just can't explain the feeling,
Its beyond what I could say.
And I'll keep you strong.
Nobody is gonna hurt you.
And if something's wrong,
I will be there comfort you.
Will you always think about me?
You're always inside my mind.
I'm so proud and I'm so lucky.
I don't deserve what you supply.
You look at me with a real smile.
Undeniable it's there.
Time is moving fast and it's been a while,
Since I threw you in the air.
And I feel for you,
What the population longs for.
And I watch you grow,
I can't go back before you walked.

The System
01:01

Bless the system,
Yeah, bless the system,
The favorite machine of the puller of strings.
Don't question systems,
Just say yes to systems.
And hope that you're part of the team.
Sacrifice sometimes is made,
And youre at end of the blade.
But you don't see it and you can't perceive it because you think all your dues are paid.
So don't stress the system,
They just test the system,
The lives of a few aren't relevant to,
The rest of the system,
If you let the system,
You might not like all that it brings.
Don't get caught in the way,
Don't disagree with what they say,
stay where they can't see,
If they move in just leave,
And don't think about what they take

My head is full of saturation.
Can't find the valve to set it free.
I hope I finally find the answer.
When I pack up my shit and leave.
Do you wanna ride with me?
Can you handle it or am o better off to go alone?
Salutations, yeah, goodbye.
I can make it if I try.
And I'll leave you in the rear view as I voyage to a clear view plain in sight.
My mind is set on locomotion.
No time to sit around and think.
I'll drive my body to the ocean,
Just so my soul and it would sync.

Nostalgia

Reservations in the brain,
For the places we can't stay,
That we wanna live again.
With the people we replace.
All the moments that have come and gone, and won't be back, we change.
All the time we spend to gain,
Things to shield us from the pain,
Something magic in our heads,
We don't want to know the trick.
We just wanna keep the truth,
Far away, from the way, that we think.
But will you see them all again?
Your hand on their shoulder.
Nice to see you here old friend.
Now that we've got older.
Look into the distance,
Falling back into old memories,
Of who we used to be.

I Believe in You

I dont believe, in anybody.
Yeah I get it you have it all, then you dont have a thing.
It kinda funny to watch you crawl, when nobodies listening.
You cant admit you have a flaw,
or youre lacking what they have,
wont let them see you when you fall,
want to look good so fucking bad.
I want to reach in helping hands,
but my fingertips are gnawed,
from reaching in to give applause,
to the ones who dont give them back.
yeah i get it I cant catch up.
without rude awakenings.
are yous itting a top the world?
or's your head between your knees?
You want people to look your way,
then wont give them time of day.
Hate the ones who listen in butlove the ones who just pretend.
For you emotion is too much,
real determination sucks.
Youd just rather jump the ship,
but you know you wont sink and swim.

Keep It Going
01:30
|
|

Keep it going for the fun,
Keep it going for the memories,
Keep it going cause beyond it doesn't seem like much is there.
Show some humanity.
Keep it going for the love,
Keep it going for the tragedy.
Keep it going for the sake of having us together now,
While everything's at ease.
Let it live for all the ghosts,
Reminders of all the memories.
Mental tombstones for the people who have came and gone but left,
Us with something we can't leave.

To Human Is

This is all well ever be,
Were not meant for stars to see.
Floating in a random place,
Somewhere distant out in space.
Were not meant to touch the moon.
Were not made to make it through.
Were a phase that earth is on.
When the sun dies out were gone.
We are biological waste.
There will be a day were replaced.
Somewhere in the universe,
Something sneezed and blew out earth.
And the germs that caught a ride,
Couldn't wait to learn to fly.
But we're built from where we stand.
So we take off but don't land.
The best solution we've got,
Are trees in bubbles on a rock.

You said,
Were bringing this together.
By God, were gonna make it better.
But you are only thinking about,
The things coming out of your own mouth.
The things that benefit your own life,
Polished into a helping hand I,
Can't grab, because I already tried.
And you would take it all in due time.
You hide,
Behind your lies,
Hypocritical tired eyes,
If you have a plan that isn't mine,
I won't act like you'll get left behind.
I mean, fuck that, were supposed to be a family.
At least, the closest that we can be.
And youre the dividend between us,
I guess, you'll see us when you need us.
