lyrics

Death's short,
life's long.
Spent the latter trying to write the the right song.
4 AM with the lights on,
I light bongs.
A handful of years later that life's gone.
Sometimes I fall in love with the wrong things.
When the night runs out see what the dawn brings.

Sunshine in my eyes,
surprised it's painful.
A new day brings the same bull.
Society lies.
When my drive runs dry
I resupply my high
and it's back to the by and by,
of aimless plight.
When the day runs out I claim the nigh.t
I came to fight.
Why?
I'm dangerous,
aite?
If I don't surrender the rain just might.

Gained some knowledge,
fortune and fame are not same thing.
I've had neither and maintained
a way to maim lame's game.
My language makes a cage
for them to be shamefully chained in.
complaints went
in one ear and out the other.
Just like every piece of advice I ever received.
Word to my father and mother.

Is this existence "it"?
I wish it wasn't so.
I don't believe in shit a bit.
Does it show?
Even in the brook flowers grow.
Break up some more bud,
that's where the hours go.
The afterglow of discovery
makes me bitter towards those under me.
I've had enough of these suckers.
Humanity thrives,
and because of that life suffers.

I am alive motherfucker!
Cuz one cell was a million times tougher.
I realized something:
Life's a bitch so I ducked her.
Another bad relationship.
I've been past the edge and wait to slip.
How fake is this?
I hate these bitches but like their Facebook pic
Still yet to find one that doesn't make me sick.

You only get one day; today.
It might start with a dream,
maybe it will seem good.
New Paltz proved a relatively clean hood.
I said I wouldn't get addicted,
only a fiend would.
When the Newports took me under
everybody understood.
I used to wonder if I could I have done it better.
What a waste of time,
it always winds up being never.

Welcome to reality.
Welcome to reality...
well? (X2)
