The Light

If you didn't know, it's hard to show
You feel the glow but deny the light,
Spend your nights locked in fright...
That someone might listen to a word I say
Young loves etch in trees, "Me + You"
I can do it too but my love's more true
Cuz I thought it through, cuz my tree is flat,
cuz my chisel's black and blue
Says who? Certainly not the sky gods, cuz the one feeling...
Is you
Just be inspired by your own desire to shape your world
To point your lens at the cross-sections of love and fear
of hope and doubt, where you find the truth...
And the ones your care about

The Shit
03:42

The rules you're told
The rules you're told
You listen to em', die,
and then you get old
You don't know shit
You don't know shit
You say you'll deal with life soon but oh, no
this is it
I'm just a man
You don't have to listen to me
I do what I can to live a good life
if you agree
Maybe give it a try, I know that
I feel free
The games you play
The games you play
They're all that matter to you and
man you're wasting away
I'm just a man
You don't have to listen to me
I do what I can to live a good life
if you agree
Maybe give it a try, I know that
I feel free
I don't know why
I don't know why
You live your life that way, if it were me
I'd wanna die
I'm just a man
You don't have to listen to me
I don't know much but I know that
I feel free
If I'm out of touch then baby just
Let me be
If I'm out of touch then baby just
Let me be

Smoke That Grass
04:20

You know that I can't say anymore
It'll hit yah when you walk in the door
You know I don't mean to be crass
Shut-up and smoke that grass
Shut up and smoke that grass
Something tells me times running low
And you know you don't have much to show
But now you're running late for class
Lay back and smoke that grass
Lay back and smoke that grass
You start to think that you're a fool
For tryin to follow your own rules
You notice your faults but alas
You're just gonna smoke that grass
You're just gonna smoke that grass
Can't you get ahead of it all?
The great romantic fall
Well who's to say I don't want that?
I don't know so I smoke that grass
I don't know so I smoke that grass
So give me fame, gold, and trust
Cuz you know I don't ask for much
One more thing if I can ask
How bout a pound of grass?
How bout a pound of grass?
Goes good with long loved family and friends
Dig water food and hope til the end
But on the list of things that I need
I'm not sure what to do with weed
I'm not sure what to do with weed
I'm not sure what to do with weeeeeeedddd

Leave your friends behind your told
You keep on moving til you're getting old
I got no friends to walk this lonely road
And my fingers getting cold cuz I got no hands to hold
Mama helped me once but she can't again
She hold me up to do it if I can
But now is my chance to hold the pen
My pages are empty and I won't be like them
Jim's right you're wrong it's all a sham
Don't you know that it's your life to can?
But there's one thing that I just don't understand
It's the way that no one trusts their fellow man
The stories you're told they bring on all the pain
But no one ever told me that it's all just a game
So turn it off, unplug let's go out and play
Cuz everyone's inside or else expecting rain
No one ever told me that I'd take all the blame
How it came to be in kinda hard to explain
It comes from somewhere deep inside my brain
And I've come to learn that I can't trust that thing
Let me tell you something that it's a shame
That I can't make all your teachers sing
"It's your turn now go hold the flame"
Live the life of your dreams, don't live in vain

As Above So Alone
05:08

Can't help but fall
Down down down
All down the hall
round round round
Can't see at all
Atop the town
I went out
Make a sound
Pick a star and lock on, sights set on right
Wise men say, "Aim at the light"
Stay locked on and you'll make it for sure
but my star hath burst now I aim for the void
There outta be some truth in there or
I'm just paranoid
Severity's a variety, ancienct sobriety
diepicts mythology, look into the world
We have the tools, it's time for the next step
Don't be fools
Moving on forward I've picked up a load
never expected much but that's what I hold
It's funny how they got yah like that
You can't avoid getting old
Death and morality, two great catastprohies
But here we get the duality
Don't lose sight on me
My eye's on the prize
Don't believe lies
When it gets to the end
You'll find with all the loss and all the cries...
You'll be the last who dies
Laying in bed, sober for a day
And just like that I'm in this melodramatic way
You can't tell I'm sad cuz I can't say
But ain't that just the same old same

Switching Over
02:16
|

Last night I thought about switching over
I'm still taking it in but I'm sippin slower
I don't want that much from you and I can't deny
It's a lot easier with you on my side
There's a lot going on but I'm not scared
I won't look away, I wouldn't dare
There's a lot going on and I don't think you'd lie
But shit's getting complicated, I don't wanna die
I don't know what to do anymore... So I
do do do do

Pass Me By
04:18
|

My time is crimped like a page left marked
It ruins the book but that's my favorite part
You pass me by
As I'm trying to find
x4
I read the end first away
And I wrote it myself
But the pages read different with time
Shifting and changing to fall in line with mine
Someone else had knew my tale...
Or an author writing for himself
Pass me by
As I'm trying to find

She fought broke and cried around the 7 wonders
Took in all the human heart can see
But when she finally stopped to ask what she came for
It was hard to take that the trip's it for Lily P.
Crack jokes you hate for the crate that tightly surrounds you
Cuz you're attracted to those who's concepts confound you
Without them your preconceived notions can drown you
Can mental commotion til the truth's really found you
Going out with friends you've known 5 years but still you
Are getting dressed in your room and in your chest it feels
Your lungs taught, you heart squeezed, it fills you
Why them why me? Is this the real you
She fought broke and cried around the 7 wonders
Took in all the human heart can see
But when she finally stopped to ask what she came for
It was hard to take that the trip's it for Lily P.
Work's great, mom's good and the house really holds us
Things were tough when the dog got sick, nobody told us
Why me ruff times they never let go of us
My life's a mess, it ain't fair for the most of us
Time ticks and age licks the letters never sent
Building up all that unjust repent
Your takeaway is that this was not time well spent
Cuz you never stopped to look at what it meant
I heard you got back from the hospital this morning
Yeah, I've been out for a spell
I went in because there's no meaning
What am I doing here?
You all know this just as well as I do
You just won't tell
Still you're asking what I'm meaning
Just as well
Just as well
Just as well

Something Love
04:38
|

I don't have no safety rope
Climbing up the wall
No one here to give me hope
No one round at all
I don't have no hang glider
For my upcoming fall
First time in my life that
I'm prepared to die
Something good is keeping me here
Hold my hand and help me steer
Give me the balls to stay alive
And ask, "What's really going on?"
Pushed off the deep end
Learning how to swim
Drowning is inevitable
But I'm determined to win
I don't have a life vest
As I breathe the water in
It fills up my lungs
But I don't have to run
Something good is keeping me here
Hold onto me and kill my fear
Give me the balls to stay alive
And ask, "What's really going on?"
I think it's something Love
Hanging on the brink of time
Seconds pass like days
I've been here before I said
But it's all a haze
There is not a kill switch
There's no saving grace
You just have to let go
Then you get to know
Something good is keeping me here
Hold onto me and keep reality near
Give me the balls to stay alive
And ask, "What's really going on?"
I think it's something Love
