Verse 1
(C major) Everybody's after something, I mean success is,
it's just a pursuit (C major) (B flat major)
I'm (C major) just an alchemist,
I turn pens and papers into verses
Turn (E flat major) three verses into a (B flat major) song
that makes you nervous
Turn (C major) ten songs into an
album with a purpose
And I'll (E flat major) plant that seed in a place
(B flat major) deep beneath the surface
Wa (C major) ter that seed till the trees
grow tall as birches (E flat major)
The sun can (B flat major) heat like a furnace
The (C major) fruit provides nourishment
for every single
person
But the (E flat major) fruit becomes more
with surround (B flat major) ing
climate worsens
So I (C major) go back to the lab,
create a different
version
But (E flat major) something seems odd,
those pens (B flat major) an d papers
just ain't workin'
Odd, (C major) the situation's
changin' everything
Seems uncertain,
I'll stop plantin' (E flat major) those seeds
Cause it's time (B flat major) to close the curtains
I (C major) move all over, you can say I get around I (E flat major) walk along the highways,
(B flat major) turn up in every
My (C major) hands reach out and steal
life without a sound
Make (E flat major) a speech on every soapbox
when (B flat major) I just wanna get down
This (C major) is my
Georgia here,
so pour the beer and boarded wine
Accordingly, (E flat major) I'm acting finely
tuned (B flat major) in fully lunar mode
Eclipse of (C major) sun, send the coded letter
Hoping red and hoping you can (E flat major) be the one
To make me feel (B flat major) a little bit better
Instead of (C major) sunset and stars coming
Climbing hills and running head down
(E flat major) Gotta make it to the (B flat major) lake by sundown
We (C major) can wash away this awful play
In your I'm soldiers in your (E flat major) swing
The soldiers by the way I (B flat major) turn
around and walk away
An (C major) example of a low pressure bad
apple collaboration
Haven't you (E flat major) no ticed I'm in focus
How the (B flat major) toppings get tackled
getting a (C major) downward spiral
Once the cages get rattled
and don't you (E flat major) realize
In real life it's an (B flat major) uphill battle
An ex (C major) ample of a low pressure
bad apple collaboration
Haven't you (E flat major) noticed I'm in focus
How the (B flat major) toppings get tackled
getting a (C major) downward spiral
Once the cages get rattled
and don't you (E flat major) realize
Real life is an (B flat major) uphill battle
Catch
(C major) Paul, he's fallin' like leaves in autumn
You oughta (E flat major) see him now,
he's callin' from the (B flat major) odyssey's bottom
These
Coli (C major) seum columns got
him in a bad situation
If it's the (E flat major) last temptation,
or the (B flat major) fact that I'm facin' impact
Got (C major) me bracin' myself for the crash,
we're awaitin'
Meanwhile back (E flat major) at the station,
people are (B flat major) facin' confession
Perversions (C major) raisin' the question,
why were we raised in deception?
F -f -f (E flat major) -fuck all this stressin',
got me (B flat major) blazin'
In this session, praised and ag (C major) gressive,
messed for days in this maze of obsession
Just a (E flat major) blessing in disguise,
it's depres (B flat major) sion, I'm guessing
Just a (C major) lesson for the troubled,
burnt, bubbled, and blistered
Mr.
(E flat major) Twisted, a rock shit piss, (B flat major) double fist
I'm just a (C major) vacant man,
swimming in the sinking sands
I'm lost, I'm (E flat major) a heart so cold,
my soul's (B flat major) exposed
A forced bite,
I (C major) don't suppose you noticed
Folks who got strife, (E flat major) never look back
Cause you might turn (B flat major) to salt like
Lot's wife
(C major) Got in a lot of hot spots,
gotta drink cold beer (E flat major) lots
Take a load off (B flat major) hard rocks at the
Coro
South
(C major) Know not where to go,
so for me we wander off and on
I (E flat major) don't wanna know how long it'll (B flat major) be,
we'll always be home
From the (C major) seashore to the treetops,
my fleet walks to the beach stops
With each (E flat major) step get my feet wet,
let my speech (B flat major) flex when the beat drops
And my mind (C major) works till the sun's tight,
and my face shifts to the sunlight
And my (E flat major) eyes burn till the sand wakes,
and the (B flat major) sky turns to the landscape
An ex (C major) ample of a low pressure
bad apple collab
Haven't you (E flat major) no ticed our main focus,
how the (B flat major) timers get tackled, get in a downward spiral
Once our cages get rattled,
(E flat major) then don't (C minor) you realize that real life is an (F major) uphill (G major) battle
An ex (C major) ample of a low pressure,
bad apple collab
Haven't you (E flat major) no ticed our main focus,
how the (B flat major) timers get tackled, get in a (C major) downward spiral
Once our cages get rattled,
then don't you (E flat major) realize that real life is an (B flat major) uphill battle
An ex (C major) ample of a low pressure,
bad apple collab
Haven't you (E flat major) no ticed our main focus,
how the (B flat major) timers get tackled
Get in a (C major) downward spiral
What's okay to see it rattle?
And don't you (E flat major) realize that real
life is an (B flat major) uphill battle?
Battle
(C major) That's what makes pop
culture so significant (E flat major)
All (B flat major) the little consumers out there
(C major) They have no interest in history or
economics or (E flat major) sci ence or art
They're kind (B flat major) of interested more in gossip
(C major) The nature of celebrity
And that's (E flat major) not at all encour
(B flat major) aging to find out that (C major)
You participate in that soci (E flat major) ety,
one (B flat major) way or the other.
