I've grown up too fast, I'm missing out on these years I hear a whisper in space of the ethos we fear I'm a chip off the block like my father holds dear This coming of age costs the same as a six pack of beer I'm just a ghost unpurified Skin and bones all still alive Father, Father, will you tell me another lie Father, Father, don't you tell me another lie Time is just a breeze that creeps in through the window And leaves me at unease like some unconcerning limbo A constant acceleration, I'm forever moving on a string When conversation gets too heavy, that string must break and I must sing About my fear of the never ending abyss I will lose my hair

Introspective You draw from fear of war, you hide inside of your skin Who cares if we lose or we win? In my vision, Progressive future decay, I know we'll lose our lives one day anyway But I still think that it's a gamble, to lose our bodies at last To see our lives in the past, I hear you talking out your ass You've got a complex, surrounding power consumption And the darkest part about it is you don't know much about it Opening the door to things we've never seen before is like a stress response we anticipate Walls are melting down through the ground, I know that sound Put your guard down, everything is okay Come outside, you're safe from worries All your threats will turn to raindrops today Why the long face? What's gotten into your head Your care has lessened to dread and no one knows the reason why But I can feel that your tension lives in your head You're clearly stressed from head to toe, I think I know how to let go

Crybaby 03:33
Questioning existence you don't even know why And forget you ever lived the hardest part of your life Don't get too hung up on it all night And no matter what you do don't let it stick with you the rest of the time Wake up real early you don't got the desire Forget you ever tried and set the morning on fire Sleep away your problems never put up a fight Sleep until forever, even sleeping through your Saturday night Crybaby One day you will buy a mercedes Own an estate That you’ll claim bankruptcy on anyway Livin’ nicely The rest of your life’s not likely In need of a change, escape from this So I’ll teach you what love is You been acting funny, don't tell nobody why You'd travel any distance to escape from your mind Fighting the disease sounds familiar to me But i don't got the answers, if i did, id share the secret for free But don't you worry, ill be here when you need You got someone beside you every day of the week Changing the equation makes the outcome right To have a million dollars wouldn't make the sun shine any more bright

I fell apart in the fate of absolute absurdity that few can relate I tried to repair the break, but my body ached with fright Anxious to change my beliefs And in search of medicine that acts as a commodity Hiding what i really need, i feel the burn in me Is this real life or am I at fault in my head, will things be better next week? Is something wrong, am I in debt, do I owe pain sometimes? These feelings will drive me over the edge And it's a force that delivers you this message I wish you peace I'm a human being, my life span's no surprise I know I won't outlive the oldest man alive But who's supposed to stop me if I don't even try I'm better off not knowing when I die We made amends in the spring Something tells me you will be the most successful thing Ever to walk this land, the sidewalk, grass, or sand So teach everyone what you know I might as well be one of them, my knowledge is low Teach me to gratify my will to survive I don't know why I intensify my foolish mind and self destruct on the spot But I need to be more optimistic cuz happiness will come to me When I choose to redefine These feelings will drive me over the edge And it's a force that delivers you this message I wish you peace

Should i stay at home Or go out tonight Should i even leave my bed And see the light No one knows Should I be the rock To hold it down Or should I be the floating on Of everything No one knows Forced to pick the best of two But i don't think i can choose When its time to make the choice Your mind has gone one way, your body another All mixed up and afraid to commit You can’t avoid it but you can always prolong it Procrastinate til the last minute Make a joke out of it Then make a lighthearted decision All wrong, I must live both these lives Time is two planes that run parallel Nature will lead you to the source Instinct will tell you the right choice Listen, you will hear Should i stay at home Where i was born Or should i find myself Three hours down the road Only i know Forced to pick the best of two But i don't think i can choose

I don't ever want to be you As if someone would even let me Who's to say I won't forget you For reasons unexplained that aren't true Let's go easy Make moves slowly, please let go, you've got one thing coming From my head I'll let it out again I can't get out of my head And my body really wants to stay in bed And we don't really mind at all they said Just keep moving Throw back what's not in your plans I'll take what I can fit into my hands And wash away the melting vibes again Never ending Paint the walls a kind of dark gray And kind of just absorb the growing fade I'm visceral without you in here A room I made to stay away from fear Let's go easy Take what's different, fill the void and make perfect pictures From my head, I'll let it out again
