Learnt a Lesson

Huge fail
Big Flop
Its up your nose
& people know
The bridge is burnt
the page is turnt
so now we learn
this court's adjourned
We learnt a lesson
another lesson
Whats right
& whats wrong
How bout ya write
a fucking song
They called you out
They called it out
So now youre out
So take a bow
We Learnt a lesson,
Another lesson
There's a philosophy you must learn in this life before you die or risk becoming one of the dead among the living
Do not fear the unknown., welcome it
Do not let anyone or anything stop you from doing what you are put on this earth to do
When I think of this simple truth I clench my fists and stare to the sky to say:
If you want something done you do it yourself
IF you want something done, do it yourself....

Drive Slower
04:53
|

|
In this middle of desert hwy.
when we feel like we're breaking down
Its easier with you here beside me
roads to nowhere, the lost get found
Life has all of its games now
Either way I'm born 2 lose
Why don't you look me dead straight in the eyes world.
Why don't you look me dead straight it in the eyes
Drive slower
Straight into the night
Drive into the nowhere
Where everything's alright
The overheating motor
gets the best of us sometimes
The road is always open, your heart is worth the drive
Sometimes we crash and burn and it can be so hard
Eat the pain just to drink it away
And then I reminisce on all of our good times
Faith in the concrete gets me through my day

Last Week

Last week
I had a bad week
about the worst week of all of my life
into next week
We'll have the best week
and not a repeat
gotta follow the light
Oh, thank god I'm alive
love so true Why tell a lie?
This year has been the best year
Let the ship steer wherever it goes
Gotta big dream time to wake up
Travel new spots
all over a globe
Oh, thank god I'm alive
love so true Aint scared to die
At least you said you were
Who do you think you are now?
Put your phone down
You should be yourself
more, more, more
They say your life ends up exactly how you manifest your dreams
So we rise above
So if your life is going bad and you've got time to make the change
stop
Oh, thank god I'm alive
love so true Aint scared to die
At least you said you were
Who do you think you are now?
Put your phone down
You should be yourself
more, more, more

Nebuchadnezzar

We never lost our way
Going through these years of age
Everything is completely strange
even when we say it aint
Even when we say it aint
Even when we say it aint
We sailed a ship through space
Losing to a human race
Time is a broken thing
Even if you say it aint
Even if you say it aint
Even if you say it aint
When you say it aint
Even if you say it aint
They made it
you buy it
You're naked
They're lying
Frustrated Divided
With fascists uniting
Sometimes dimensions change
like stars we start to blend and fade
Even when we say it aint
Even when we say it aint
Even when we say it aint
When we say it aint

Cuddle The Knife
04:02

You
Drive my crazy
I'm like a dog, foaming with rabies
ME
Problematic
Playing with fire, making this tragic
You know its hard to have to say goodbye
I know I never should have cuddled the knife
Here's to the memory of holding me tight
And my cold heart it bleeds
Truth
Lost in static
Desperate for love, i'm sick like an addict
So I called up my doctor man I tell em what do I got?
I proceeds to tell me that I'm sick with lust and that I need to stop
And now I'm crying bout the way I trapped myself in an emotional
guillotine
You know its hard to have to say goodbye
I know I never should have cuddled the knife
Here's to the memory of holding you tight
And my cold heart it bleeds

Blues

Living in your head with a mental condition
Paying taxes till your dead, and you wish you were in bed
woah, I been doing all my best
Now I need someone to love
What's the point of all of this mess?
Living in your scene, whole damn point is to be seen
Daddys money coming slow credit score is running low
Living with your dreams hear the song but you don't sing
Now you gotta pay the rent with a bitter resentment
Woah, I been doing all my best
Now I need someone to lobe
What's the point of all this mess?
They never go away
Never go away
Blues, Blues, Blues....

Mt. Anxiety
02:27
|

|
Open your mouth won't you get real loud, won't you let it out
Let yourself go, with no control, oh sweet control
On Mt. Anxiety, few men have died, but we gonna try
Then sometimes, curse my mind
in these dark times, and some sunshine
Love yourself more, the people's champ, he knew his worth
Worship your breath, when stress comes in the pain comes out
And sometimes, fuck my mind
In these dark times, with some sunshine
Let yourself grow, with no control, oh sweet control
on Mt. Anxiety, few men have died, but we gotta try

Light it Up
03:29
|
|||
|
Its the pain that's starting to eat you, and you say that nothing is wrong
Its a wave that you always drown in, everyday it makes you go numb
Don't give up, don't give up your fire
Never trust, never trust a liar
Always been, always been, a fighter
Light it up, light it up, you lighter
Its the shame from being so broken, and the weight of trying to move on
And I guess I never really knew what a brother is supposed to do
But I'm here until the end for you, no matter what
And I guess I never really knew what a brother is supposed to do
When you're lost without the one you knew,and it's fucked
Don't give up, don't give up your fire
Never trust, never trust a liar
Always been, always been, a fighter
Light it up, light it up, you lighter
And I guess I never really knew what a brother is supposed to do
But I'm here until the end for you, no matter what
And I guess I never really knew what a brother is supposed to do
When you're lost without the one you knew,and it's fucked

Plantas

Hey you,
You lock up people for plants
Then you keep them caged like animals for private corporate labor profits
Fuck you
Why don't you free my cousins
They wasn't doing nothing wrong except soliciting natures medicine
Ask the people what they want and the people make the stand
Cuz the people want the plants
Try and tell them what to do it'll all come back on you
Cuz the people want the plants

Peace in Mind
02:28
|
|||
|
All we need is a peace of mind
In your self, you're not well
and all the grief, its a waste of time
In your soul, you're not home
twenty something years old we had the time of our lives
So many miles to go, so many highs and lows
And we never ever thought we'd ever feel the word "old"
We gotta rocky road, we're playing rock and roll
What do I got to do?
I need to reset my soul, I need to reset my soul
What do I got to do?
I need to reset my soul, I need to reset my soul
All we need its the peace in mind
In your self, you're not well
and all the greed, its a waste of time
In your soul, you're not home

Calling it Deep
02:31
|
|||
|
How did I know your kind even though we never ever said a word
How do you know what's on my mind even though I never ever said a word
And it's one for your love and its two to be taken for a fool
One for some loving and two to be taken and used just like a tool
That's what we get for calling it deep
Heart is so big but sometimes it shrinks
No lie
That's what I get for calling it deep
World is so big but sometimes it shrinks
And it's one for your love and its two when you fake it, fake it till you're cool

You (feat. Xinxin)
04:17
|
|||
|
You're the morning time before all the pain hits
With the rise and grind you ease up this chains and
You're a day off work where we can do what we want to
When it's simplified blessed with the real you
It's the hold me tight, without feeling helpless
It's another night, to you I can tell this
Could you wrap your arms around my heart as its melting
It's that Im so high, don't need no substance
You, said you, oh it's you
And the years go by naturally jealous
It's the scheduled lie, the "I really hate this"
When you trap yourself inside a thirst for another
It's a ride or die, fuck you I love you
You, said you , oh its you, who? you...
What can I do? What can I do?
I'm so in love with you....
You, You, You......

Burnt
03:44

It's a hot, hot hot summer
I'm hanging on by a bead of sweat
We like it raw like old dirty told us
Pay no mind to the next big thing
Maybe it could be, your last, last dance,
So shake one
Maybe you should see, we all get burnt,
Like the greatest
Sounding rough like hot burnt rubber
I'm burning out in a parking lot
We're always tough, the sound of modern bummers
We pay no mind to insecurity
Maybe it could be your last, last dance,
So shake one
Maybe you should see, we all get burnt
Like the greatest
Music is my soul. its my religion....
