It's been a long day Hard work and hard play But one without the other Would surely make you suffer Leave yo job at yo job Leave yo stress at yo desk Don't let your mood be sour Fuck man! It's happy hour So lets get fucked tonight Everything will be alright Get our friends and have a party You and me, Jim, Jack, and Johnny So lets get fucked tonight Pretend its Christmas time Just let your heart be light All your troubles will be out of sight It's been a long year All strife and no cheer We crashed the car again Haven't made any new friends Use yo check on yo debt Just forget your regret If all we can get is 2 forties Hey at least we still got Morty Neighbors complain, we caused a ruckus We don't care, cuz they're not nuckas Just some lame mother fuckers Who don't have has much fun as others They can just get fucked tonight I'm sure they'd be alright Come on over and just join in They can just bring tonic we got the gin

Warm colors Caressing each other Pacific moons in our style Barefoot dreams for the inner child Can we dance in the sun? Soft waves collide With nearby shores Spray champagne on the hopscotch markings Limbo lines under horizons cause for parallel parking I, come alive It's just a little bit of rain
3.
Holographic colony of static bees Who automatically react with predictability Black blood drain your poison Open floodgates Drain my faith Grey waterfalls around Made by foreign clouds Raining false rain Robot dancers Break dancing Break my brain, break my brain Kill my child, Eat my remains Solid ghosts Cyclic mistakes Glitchy movements Broken moments I'll kiss the lips of dead eyes Just to know that I'm still alive

Decloak 03:39
I've never felt such clarity Suddenly I can see the wind blow by me I can hear noise on brand new frequencies I know what you're thinking without you saying anything Activate extra sensory Perception Buried deep in the soul sea Faint memories of a lost continent Only water where homelands used to be I'll display what I've discovered But refrain from abuse I'll use it to make a change Which path will you choose? Decloak and disperse Tear down the walls of the multiverse Fear is the only inhibitor to the gifts you will remember Dissolve the illusion in play To access the rest of your DNA

I Got This 04:24

Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones Seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone And I'll be gone, gone tonight The ground beneath my feet is open wide The way that I been holding on too tight With nothing in between The story of my life I take her home I drive all night To keep her warm And time is frozen (the story of, the story of) The story of my life I give her hope I spend her love Until she's broke Inside The story of my life (the story of, the story of) Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage I know that in the morning now I see us in the light upon a hill Although I am broken, my heart is untamed, still And I'll be gone, gone tonight The fire beneath my feet is burning bright The way that I been holding on so tight With nothing in between The story of my life I take her home I drive all night To keep her warm And time is frozen (the story of, the story of) The story of my life I give her hope I spend her love Until she's broke Inside The story of my life (the story of, the story of) And I been waiting for this time to come around But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds

Pile 03:02
I'm knocking on my own door I'm waiting for an answer I wonder if I hear me calling Is there anybody fucking home? A walking, talking lifeless body Call me Joe, because I'm fucking sloppy All these years of letting go I included myself, yeah, I let myself go I wanna try to exist I'm tired of being a pile of shit Other people have aspirations When I just want to be created I'm waiting for divine intervention Lying down in the middle of an intersection Even James Brown couldn't lend me soul All the TP in the world couldn't clean up this asshole But through all my oral defecation Laced with kernals of self deprecation I hope one day this Tin Man finds heart, Loses his helmet and stops going full retard I wanna try to exist I'm tired of being a pile of shit Other people have aspirations When I just want to be created I wanna live like average folk The kinda of people who don't give a fuck Nine to five routines, yeah, the mundane The kind of fuckers who don't drink on Sundays Don't wanna be emo at 30 Yet never thought I'd see this past birthday I wanna try to exist I'm tired of being a pile of shit Other people have aspirations When I just want to be created I want to apologize To all the people who put up with me every night I don't mean to be a burden I don't mean to be a turd

My ex-woman brought her new girlfriend She's like "Oh, my god!" but I'm just gonna shake. And to the girl over there with the hella big pair Won't you come on over, baby? We can drink milk shakes

Dirty Rooms 04:08
And we clean dirty rooms Rearrange Furniture Everyone needs a change some times The little things that make you shine Spring cleaning, change your state of mind Spring cleaning, scrub off your grime Clear the air, Remove the stagnant stench And Start over again Get rid of the extra weight When you have too much on your plate
10.
Is there a battle between good and evil? Or is evil just the absence of good? Could you see righteousness in what goes against your moral fabric? Debate yourself for a second in a way that you never could. The only right is the nature of perspective But we live our lives expecting our asanine beliefs to be respected If you can't see the beauty in everything Just watch and wait Just watch and wait Ideas programmed since the days of our young Years after spent sticking to our guns Time to throw down our weapons and observe the situation Catch all the tiny sparks in every crevice of creation Some passage states that the meek shall inherit the Earth So if you wanna stick around, put your judgement stick down, just watch the sparks fly, and let the fire burn I refuse to be punished for overcoming your fears

I thought I killed them with repression Sub conciously erased depictions Of what I felt for you When we were so young and new Before I tried to bury you alive. Ya better run, the dead are waking When you're down, when you're drinking Zombiemotions you can't contain They're coming back to take your brains All of my memories have faded But corpses of passion get reanimated You're not the person that I kept inside my heart You're just a soulless walking cannibal who tears my flesh apart I need to know how to free the thoughts I've buried. They're ghoulish creatures eating my brain like it's candy.
14.
I've waited around for some time For days of warmth and sunshine I've been buried alive Wipe the dirt out of my eyes Damage me ultraviolets I'll combust for sake of skylights Burn me oh voice of reason I'll die with each new season Shed skin over and over again Let the dust fly off into the wind Light the torch and let the games begin Breezy burdens goodbye Make sure you keep the match lit Take off your anger. Take off your jacket And let the warm air consume your cold fears And like the dragon breathe fire to the atmosphere Light new candles on Light blue canvas Whitebread phantoms Make skies look handsome I'm at the right place at the the right time It's a nice place When it's the right time Darkness belongs in the night time Don't cross the boundaries Don't cross the line Medicated by temperature Changes by earth's rotation It's love.

(808) 05:30
Honesty goes both ways When we both know that honestly It's never easy To find the words to say That represent The truth inside of me You're the first one To ever know me So when you hold me Don't let go of me... Let me love you Like no one ever could Let me love you The only way I should Let me in So I can finally Kill this dark side of me I only know How to say goodbye I live every day Like I'm about to die But when we touch Is when I feel alive And if we loved I don't think I'd have to hide I've waited too long To find another soul That was born from The same mold... Let me love you Like no one ever could Let me love you The only way I should Let me in So I can finally Kill this dark side of me It's hard to describe How I hear your thoughts in mine I can't explain How I feel your pain And how we feel the same And how you made me change Now if you'll let me Cuz now I'm ready... Let me love you Like no one ever could Let me love you The only way I should Let me in So I can finally Kill this dark side of me Let me know that I belong And I'll let you know That I'm the one We read the same From back to front So let me love you The way I should...

Falling off the mountain Just to climb up again You can catch me Cuz you can catch my attention Can't face the record that's broken But before you know it I'm reloaded With ambition As ammunition When the caramel coats the apple When it's burning from the cinnamon Running faster off of you I let you into my brain Stumbling drunkest when it's you Intoxicating my every sense When you're absent from picture day Cuz you get scared and run away When it's your own face That you can't appreciate When I look inside of me It's the only one I see Maybe my love is your confidence Maybe yours is my oxygen It's not like marijuana It's like smoking euphoria It's a place that's the most heavenliest of hells Running faster off of you I let you into my brain Stumbling drunkest when it's you Intoxicating my every sense Running faster like new shoes I'd wear you out but I'd wear you proud I'm the silliest bastard around you When your laughter makes my heart beat faster If your smile was a child, I'd be a pedophile Running faster Running faster Running faster Off of you...
19.
Deep down I know this Is all mass hypnosis And I won't fall for it Be part of your zombie apocalypse You take the bait When it's all you have to eat You know when you're caught They'll tear your guts out Ritual sacrifice It sets the mood light Electromagnetic dissonance Spreads like a wildfire You will sink If you swim against the tide Reality is belief Even if it's born a lie Immortalize tragedies Make criminals into martyrs If we could just kill one farmer For the sake of the harvest Like a gangbang snuff film And we're the cast We don't ask who's watching We're just paid to make them laugh In this prison There's no escape If you don't know it's a prison In the first place
