This book is so dangerous
it might even make one want to kick off their shoes
and let the bugs crawl all over their feet
oh what a treasure it is!! so let your hair grow all wild and
become the creature you were meant to be
become the creature you were meant to be
i was living a pre-packaged standardized nightmare
the things a human being can get used to
The air is so dangerous it might even make one want to take a bullet and a gun and blow their fucking brains out
there's no buried treasure anywhere just dead bodies everywhere
but i'll breathe it in and dig somedays
but i'll breathe it in and dig somedays
i am so genuine such a genuine charlatan
i am so genuine oh so very genuine
i am living proof of subordination and resistance
bravado and insecurity
i am so genuine such a genuine charlatan
i am so genuine oh so very genuine

this town, is full of
junkies and muggers
i avoid some streets at all costs
the people here, have been dismissed
some hearts are cold
i wonder who to blame
is it the FHA VA me or benign neglect?????????
i dont know but the squeegie man is out of his job again
let me die quick
let me die quick and painless
let me die quick
let me die quick and painless
cause i struggle through life so longshot please come in for me
i would take it all back if i could but the gates are open and the dice are in mid air
and they're weighted, so i'm done waiting

There's always something i should be doing
There's always something i should be doing
There's always something i should be doing
There's always something i could be doing
besides this
There's always something we should be doing
There's always something we could be doing
There's always something we should be doing
besides this
oh if it was'nt so hard to know where to build
if it wasn't so hard to know where to destroy
it's safer this way, it's safer to just be a critic
it's safer this way, it's safer to just be a critic
safe is stagnant and stagnant is accepting it
well safe is stagnant and stagnant is accepting it
i accept it! i accept it! i accept it???

I never win, never lose, but just draw pictures
of what it is like
to be swamped
by all thats relative
a haranguer hangs around here and wears you out
you leave but the lecture continues
you leave but your passing stays on the mind of those.....
enemies or individuals
instigators or defenders
enemies or individuals
instigators or defenders
spiral stairs are so mysterious
the first time up i awaited what i could not see
let it be leading me away
a room with a view of what is mind but claimed by many
if we tried could it be ours???
to lose the day but win
lose the day but win something

from stereo sound to the human ear i can hear nothing
from faded brown pages through straining eyes the words are forgotten
over my head and smashing against the wall behind me
i heard a noise
i picked up bits and pieces from the floor
some to cut some to patch
some to disregard, overstate, neglect, absorb
inability to understand translates to inaction eveyday
for me for you
somebody, nobody, as much as anybody else

this theme is tired
it pervades everything that i do
but whats the point
you cant explain
when the questions are asked
you hide in your shell
uncomfortable and shy
and say
if i had anything to offer
shouldn't i feel it and wouldn't i sense it??

when i swing my arm across this elegant instrument
i yearn for resistance
some tension to break the slack
we can reconcile later in a beautiful culmination of
energy and anger
as one
for now we climb we sweat together
we work against each other for every
decibel of dissonance
unclear unclarified unsuitable
syllable
anticipation
let's throw a curveball
are you in
let's see how we react
i've gone too far
we'll hit a wall
when i caress this elegent instrument
i want commitment
as one
for now we climb we sweat together we work against each other for every decibal of dissonance
so clear now
so clear now
so clear now
cause my head is'nt

a thousand faces could tell me i wanted to be caught
well oh such second thoughts
that motion it was just for a little comoshit
third strike will i make it out alright?
i'm left hangin on his every word
and that man's noose is waiting
and i can see myself
swingin swingin swingin
some fences aren't meant for holdin
some fences can't hold me
over and under or through
i will get around you
over and under or through
i will get around you

no reply from I
the moment he said
scared and nervous
what i have to say right now is no consolation
i don't even believe it myself
but maybe it's just a mirage and our senses they just get tricked
regardless
i'm begging
where are you tonight?
where are you tonight?
for a guarantee these thoughts would go away
for a guarantee
what a cruel game to play
what i have to say right now is no concolation
but maybe it's just a mirage
and our senses they just get tricked

days like these make me wanna kinda fight a battle
i need a cause
my cause
i saw a woman on the street she was laughin or crying
i couldn't tell
i couldn't care any less
cause i had someplace to go
what do we want outta what we do
is there an inner peace in dirt ovals
or the equations amplified 150 watts
all for you
will the rain wash away my doughts?
nevermind it's something i can live with
out damn spot
sing to me a song i can't even understand
if you roll your r's enough
we can laugh a little
what do we want outta what we do?
an inner peace from dirt ovals
or the equations amplified 150 watts
all for you
dead-end job but i never felt so alive
6 o'clock sunday morning
it was all for you

i fell obligated to honesty
so i will be
seditious and traitorous
ad let you know how i really feel
it matters so little
is nothing but a page you will turn
as i have turned yours
nothing will stop the bombs
god's name will be emblazoned on the sides of them
as well as our hearts
united millions will die
divided by boundaries that fail to form shield
the red that will flow will be celebrated as well
as it is mourned
tonight i may sleep forever
tomorrow these pages will burn fires you can't put out
i could be so much more honest
if only i could take the heat
i could be so much more hones
but i can't take the heat

exploding limbs crash and die
and i'm exploding mad
we go on gotta earn our hopes our oats or else our fears our here
our fears our here
1300 pounds of pressure can kill a man
and i can't stand to see it happen again
fabricated we sing of lines of blood and grass of blue
fractured on the far turn speed kills before it thrills
before it thrills
1300 pounds of pressure can kill a man and i can't stand to see it happen again
pull up
we've reached the end of the road
can we drive through this wall??
i don't think so
I'm a slave to fear so i live with a bit between my teeth
my mouth is soar my tongue is tied
i'm always tongue tied
