Now there's some biddies and buddies and booties, That blend better with booze and blunts and nice shoes. Bad news, Covered in iced booze, Softened with my views, Heightened by misuse, Hardened by new bruises. My mind refuses, To light up new fuses. There are things I'm still losing, And that's okay. Naw. That's okay. Naw. That's ok. Really? To get worked up about everything would be silly, I don't bottle things up, I drink them and they fill me, You see, I now bleed with desires of past, But that shit don't help me now that I'm living way to fast. Mind on a mission, fishing for bitches and wenches instead of wishing for trenches that I can drive myself into, dive right into. hiding problems in grenades inside my trench to save the others from the burst, Keep down low on the hurt, While commanding my own vessel like captain kirk I expect the worst, Hope for the best. Vices pile up, beotch, And fill my chest, But keep all the smiles up, beotch, But hold no rest, For this motherfuck up, beotch So when I think about moving up, grasping touch fucking up, Staying up way too late, Or holding onto my game, I remember that no one, Will ever know my fucking name.

I wish I could see you right here in front of me, I wish you were always by my side, I wish I was all you wanted, But I know I'm just what you need. Lately I've been speaking softly. Lately I've been on my own. Lately I've been all you wanted, Lately I'm not what you need. Do you remember ever being sober, Do you remember smiling on your own? Is there anything that you remember, That was aided by being hit with stones? You look alright to me, alright to me! OH! I'd probably take some walks out too, The wind freezes my face into the night. But I've got some pressing matters that I, Can't seem to get just right. But you look alright to me, alright to me. I wish I could see you right here in front of me, I wish you were always by my side, I wish I was all you wanted, But I know I'm just what you need. Lately I've been speaking softly. Lately I've been on my own. Lately I've been all you wanted, Lately I'm not what you need. I've been having troubles with regrets, I haven't had the gift to set all the things of the past down. So I keep holding up high for all to see, Hoping that maybe no one will recognise me, But I'm finding more and more each day that, I'm the only one recognising the things I've done.

Take all the paintings down, Lets turn up the sound, Let's make this loud. Let's scream the words at the top of our lungs. There are reasons I need to drown out my ears, There are seasons that can't fight back the bass, Let's feel the warmth of our own heart beats, Following the rhythms and patterns in our tongues. We've got time to get ourselves numb, We've got time to keep feeling young. Let your emotion collide with the drum, Let your emotion collide with the drum. You've lowered your expectations on me, Like this is a regular thing that's happening. And I can see from the look in your eyes, That your ready to get the walls kicking. To get the walls kicking! To be honest I didn't even think I'd make it this far. To be fair I had given up on just about everything, But I'm surrounded by so many people I love, And I'm surrounded by friends and withering enemies. Because sometimes you find the things you hold on to, And you find the ones you hate hold on to the same things too. Let's get the walls kicking! We got the walls kicking.

Eyes wide, mistified, eyes collide, locked eye, Open mouth, french kiss, deep thoughts, what is this? Who am I colliding with right now, I want so much part of it, I'm about to lose my shit, I'm about to lose my shit. I like to think of myself as just another wandering soul, Who maybe doesn't have it all figured out. I still lose control. I like to think that there's nothing wrong with me internally, But for me, I can tell something is a little off. You just can't see. Ou la la na na na naa Mmmmmmm Like dragonflies on the water, I'm hoovering over the places I want to be. I've got tiny little islands, Of what I want to be. I'm hovering in directions, Of places I'd like to be. I've got tiny little islands, Of what I want to be. I've got an artistic reason to set my broken soul in motion, I've got problems and inner beggers that sneak up out of my vision, And pickpocket all the things that I told you i had given up, fucked up, I seem to only fuck up in the problematique moments like these arise, And set fires, burning every book and novel in my mind and all the new things I've learned, I don't go near it, for I've come to fucking fear it, but I hear it far away, and I'm still afraid i'll get burned. Yo, doubling all the visions and missions and tiny goals, it seems, That I visioned in my mind for future day's might just be dreams. I poured my heart and fucking soul into everything that I did, Just to remain on the sideline watching the pros fuck up living my dream. Living my dream, living my dream, holding my dream, grasping my dream, I can almost reach it, it seems. Something pushes right from under me, I can see my dream, wasting away so far away, I'm ready to hold myself up, reach as high as I fucking can, But I can't do this for myself. This is not for myself. I don't even need this for myself. I don't deserve this. Fuck me!
