I can't hold the weight I got with you shoulders
I need to buck up and be stoic like
It seems like I'm always starting over but I
guess that's just the life I've chosen
line up and cock -block along their chosen courses
Feeling forced to lay blame
and take down their forges
You couldn't make me settle down,
mister let me list the ways
This is gonna get me off the ground
And you can't climb a mountain
Shit, I've been climbing cliffs and
Seems got a different twist,
So I pinch myself on the arm
just before I slit the wrist
And I jitterbug with a mug full
And then flee the hive cause I
can't take this generation gap
read no text and act out loud
Instinct says, think outside the crowd
And at home just bein' on your own
scared to find something to call our own
I feel like I'm really not
In my own hideaway I feel like
When I'm alone I argue with myself and analyze
my life just to clean the dust off the shelf
All alone carrying my disappointments
I seem to have carried out every mistake
that would leave my ass broken hearted
but I don't want to be alone no more
Don't want to be lonely no more
A little wisdom that comes when
Things get done better when
Damn, feel the sounds of folks screamin'
This kingdom won't grow unless I say so
It's a cold, cold world and I
But I ain't scared to share some meat
But I don't wanna rock the boat alone
Sleep alone, sleepin' alone
Feelin' at home just bein' on your own
Sleep alone, be left alone
Scared to find something to
This is my ode to me, my code of honesty
My goal to show my prophecy
The toll upon my soul is a story
enforced right in front of me
Hunting me down, looking for the right score,
blanking and covering me now
Now why do I feel like every time I
achieve they shutting me down?
Sometimes I get boxed in and feel
Whenever I left that door open,
that's when the trouble walk in
And I'm lost somewhere in
between the pulse of this
But gotta keep on hardin' this no
Keep on taking steady steps to sleep
And remain the beast that can guest
every inch of this fuckin' quest
And it ain't no easy thing to
appreciate the joy that music brings
I feel like a vessel the way the
An d time's an enemy and I'm subtly thinking
about these inanimate objects in my house
That gonna outlast me and it makes
And that's a journey that
When the lights start to fade
Feeling at home just being on your own
Too scared to find something to
Feeling at home just being on your own
Too scared to find something to
I must admit to that puzzle
You hipsters claim to be such relaxed, free spirits,
yet your rules for social behavior
are even more set, tight,
and rigid than those of square society.
it's simple. I'll spell it out for you, you know.
A lot of the simple everyday
you've got to protect yourself.
Now, if you break the rules a bit,
you get put down in the streets.
But you break the square rules,
and they throw you in the slam.
That's the big difference.
there's only two basic rules in here.
You protect yourself from the
possibility of police intervention.
And you protect your state of mind.
