Sweat

Evry Friday night I erase my mind
It ain’t that hard it just takes some time
I make, just enough to, keep the pace up
But lately I’ve been thinkin of, tryna wake up
I met this girl that makes me sweat
I met this girl that I don’t get
I’m always tryna read her mind
I might, really quit this time
I spend my days workin to survive
Gas food water and the power in my lights
I can feel my brain rottin in my head
But lately I been thinkin of, gettin ahead
I’ve lain with the devil
For so long I must be a demon now
I think she’s my angel
I’d let her save me, but I don’t know how
I’m changin colors
I can feel my brain cells turnin on
In my sleep I call her
But she’s the kinda girl that can’t do wrong
When you knock me down, I push away the pain
I just can’t see the world now, through the liquor stains
But somehow she cuts through the haze
Oh lately I’ve been thinkin of throwin my killers away

Open Up
02:24
|
|||
Blonde hair
With black eyes
Nail polish in the shape of the sky
Broken nose
Broken heart
You been screamin, bleedin out from the start, so you
Closed your borders
Hurt my eyes
That’s when you ran and tried to leave me blind
So for you I’ve got a little advice, you got to
Open up if you wanna survive
Dry face
With dry eyes
But your heart is breakin, achin to cry
Can’t see no bruises
Can’t see no scars
But you light yourself on fire tryna see in the dark
I see you smokin
In the rain
But you’ll never stop the bleedin you’re just stoppin the pain
So for you I’ve got a little advice, you got to
Open up if you wanna survive
You got that man in your shadow
You think your heart is so hollow
You’ve got that man in your shadow
And you know others will try to follow

Snake
04:49
|

A delicate imbalance
A beautiful design
I was defyin gravity
And somehow I kept my mind
But you discovered my weakness
And I gave you my time
You took away my order
And at first I felt fine
You were the snake in my Garden of Eden
You were the snake in my Garden of Eden
You didn’t know it but you made me a heathen
You were the snake, you were the snake
I listened to your whisperin
And you listened to mine
I let you wrap around me
And it felt so good at the time
I never thought you would harm me
Just wasn’t in your eyes
You may have put me off balance
But I’m not sure that you tried
If it slithers
If it hisses
What do you call it?
What do you call it?
Don’t look at the face
Check for fangs
A delicate imbalance
A beautiful design
I was defyin gravity
And then I lost my mind
I guess I grew dependent
On the warmth of your touch
I fell in Love
And loved a little too much

Lois and Sam
03:14
|
|||
Lois never gave anybody any time
She acted like mistakes were capital crimes
She ran around thinkin she was always in a bind
The sun hurt her eyes, so she closed the blinds
Sam was a homegrown American boy
He saw the world as a diorama, people as toys
He thought that he could save Lois, if she'd give him the chance
But he wanted to stand, and she wanted to dance
They found that they had a lot to talk about
She liked to discuss and he liked to shout
They spent a few nights, lockin heads
And then they found themselves in bed
Love cut Sam straight to the bone
He put a heart by her name in the contact on his phone
Lois felt safe, in Sam’s arms
But sometimes the safe things can do the most harm
You're not in control
Weighed down by a heavy soul
Talkin to God on a rotary phone
You're not in control
Four month later Sam lost his head
Lois never left the house, might as well have been dead
Sam thought it was time to take a stand
Lois thought she didn't need a man
Sam was shocked, borderline appalled
How could she say their love never mattered at all?
Sam asked Lois, "What you doin with your life?"
She said, "I'd rather give up eatin than own a knife"
You don't need a knife for life to cut you
The pieces will never be in place
Try all you like
Can't keep the night
From slowly turnin into day
Sam picked up his stuff but he took his time
He couldn't stop himself from tryna change her mind
But once he had given up, her place was bare
All Lois owned was an empty chair
The thing Sam asked before he closed the door was,
"Girl, is there nothin worth fighting for?"
Lois said, "I'm just tryna play it safe,"
But both their hearts broke as he walked away

LOVE.

If I didn't ride blade on curb, would you still love me?
If I minimize my net worth would you still love me?
If I'm honest I'd rather you trust me than to love me
Honestly, don't got you I got nothin, yeah
I got somethin, yeah
We gon function, no assumption
Feelin like Tyson with it
Knock it out twice I'm with it
Never just for the night, I'm committed
Only for life, you're my only for life
In the dark you're the light, let's get it
Hit that should lean
Know what comin over means
Backstroke overseas
I know what you need
Already on 10, all money come in
All feelin go out, this feelin don't drought
This party won't end
Give me a run for my money
There is nobody, no one to outrun me
She give me a run for my money
Sippin bubbly, feelin lovely
Livin lovely
I wanna be with you, ay, I wanna be with (love me)
I'm on the way
We ain't got no time to waste
Poppin your gum on the way
Am I in the way?
I don't wanna pressure you none
I want your blessing today
Oh by the way
Open your door by the way
Told you that I'm on the way
I'm on the way
I know connection is vague
Pick up the phone for me babe
Dammit we jammin
Bad attitude from your nanny
Curves and your hips from your mammy
Remember Atlanta?
You always behind the camra
My ocean and I was your sea
I had to do it
I want your body your music
I bought the big one to prove it
Look what you made
Told you that I'm on the way
I'm like an exit away, yeah

Feed me your boilin blood
Cut your wrist and let it flow
Let it burn my tongue
Let it slide, down my throat
Feed me your tears, off of your cheek
Let them fill my lungs
I don't care if they drown me
You've been walkin in my heart and I know that I love you
You've been walkin in your tears
Let me shine your shoes
There's a place in my heart for your disease
Get yourself a broom
Sweep it inside please
If my eyes turn red, don't tell me nothin
It's better to die without knowin that I've sinned
You've been walkin in my eyes and I can't see
No one, but you
You've been walkin in your tears
Let me shine your shoes
I'd rather die than see you bleed
I'm right here for anything you need
I'm not your dog baby but can't you see, I just
Can't bear to see tears on your shoes now
I put your red on tables, and chairs
I break them back beyond, repair
You come over and see they aren't there
It's all for you baby
I'm just shinin your shoes
I just can't bear to see tears, on your shoes

Preacher
03:23
|
|||
I had a demon
I had a demon
Looked me right in the eyes
I could feel it
I could hear it
Scream bloody murder in my ears at night
Was unholy
It controlled me
Put the knife in my hand
Got me burnin
Got me yearnin
Almost killed a man
That's when he came in through the radio
Out like a banshee, burned like coal
He came in through the radio
He was the preacher of rock and roll
He's the preacher
He's the preacher and he saved my soul
He's my protector
And my savior
Cries when I feel pain
My instructor
Holy water
Bleeds so I won't stain
He's my bastion
When abandoned
Calms me from my rage
He's my champion
My companion
Frees me from my cage
Took my hunger
Made me stronger
Had me stand up tall
Made me careful
Little feral
Taught me not to fall
Made my sinning
And beginning
Feel like another man
Had me kiss her
Had me hold her
Like a bird in the hand
Took me down to the river
Set me down in the river
Washed my knife in the river
Washed my life in the river

It’s gigantic
And it’s coming for you
They’re gonna find you lyin 6 feet under
While your sister cleans the blood off of your shoes
You better write your headstone
You’re runnin out of time
We’re gonna use your grave as an example, so nobody else gon come around
Try to take what’s mine
Oh don’t you worry bout me
I ain’t got no regrets
Because for what you put us through, you deserve, evry bit
Of what you’re gonna get

How to Age Gracefully
05:07
|

Thank you, for making it so bearable, you know
The best medicine, is a smile
I can barely see your features now, but they still
Make living, worth my while it’s
Good to know I did something that the
Future will reflect, that the future will remember
When your parents had you
And I saw your open eyes I
Knew that it was worth it
Worth the whole of all my life
I think I’m leavin in the mornin
I can feel it in my bones
I won’t be here long regardless
I can feel that call from home
So till I leave, won’t you hold my hand?
I have seen the world change around me, I’ve lived
Millions, of diffrent lives
I was once at the very edge of greatness I guess
You wouldn’t, believe me if you tried
I regret the little things
Shots I wish I’d taken, places that I’ve never been
But when your parents had you
And I saw your open eyes I
Knew that it was worth it
Worth the whole of all my life
You only get one legacy
You only get one name
You can live a thousand, live a thousand lives
But never do a thing
History has a short short memory, but it
Will remember me
Cause when your parents had you
And I saw your ocean eyes I
Knew that it was worth it
Worth the whole of all my life

Gemini
03:54
|
|||
When I was born, I cried like a widow
Remembering a time when her husband was around
Tears like candle wax
I didn't make a sound
When I was 8, I sat under a window and
Talked to the stars, usin my Teddy as a pillow
They said kid
You're never gonna be enough
You're only half of the battle
You've only got one eye
You're a gun without a barrel
You're a Gemini boy, you're a Gemini
I can't tell the forest from the trees
You can put me in a river, but I'll never find the sea
I get lost in the details
Call it a disease
When I'm alone I can lasso up the moon
Bring it down to earth and trap it in my bedroom
But I can't show it to a soul
I'm only half of the battle
I've only got one eye
I'm a gun without a barrel
I'm a Gemini lord, I'm a Gemini
In my dreams I see him here
Standin so close that I reach to touch him
But he's like a phantom
He slips right through my fingers evry time
So I'm left alone
A broken flashlight, trapped in outer space
If only I could find him
If only I could find him
I am pulled, in a million diffrent ways
My head is overloaded, I'm runnin out of space
I'm losin my mind
And always almost out of time
I can't get from one place to the next without
Trippin over my feet and almost breakin my neck
I need somebody by my side

Winnie-the-Pooh
02:29

You know I know you cannot stay
But can we take just one more day?
I wanna show my love, in just one more way
You can explain the world again
Tell the stories of kings and men
I’ll pledge to be your knight until the very end
We’ll sit inside the magic place
I’ll listen close and watch your face
I’ll wait here for you, if you’ll come back someday
That’s when I watch you walk away
That’s when I watch you walk away
And when you come on home, I’ll show you how you’ve changed
