I’ll struggle with my surroundings And later find that it was me That forgot my lines to the play That I rehearse every day Sittin’ in the driver seat My hands grip tight on the wheel Nervous sweat runs down my face My mind shiftin’ back and forth Between two things that are light and dark Light and dark

She’s not the sweetest candy in the jar There’s better fish by far Sucked in like a black hole And it takes its toll Not coming out with an unscarred soul Anchoring you down Turning that school boy smile into a frown Life becomes a chore Until you found no more Is your life sweet and sound (x2): Don’t be a fool Don’t be her tool

The sun is in the sky the night I will neglect Leaves are changing, entropy’s in full effect Dust off your books and shine up your shoes Spark up the night to cure the end-of-summer blues My heart is swellin’ up at the thought of something new Pull myself together and come in right on cue Beginning an end and ending a beginning It doesn’t matter as long as my head keeps spinning (x2): Chemicals swimming like rapids down a stream Oh I’m glad this is ending, waking up from this dream

One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don’t do anything at all Go ask Alice When she’s ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you’re going to fall Tell ’em a hookah smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small When men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving slow Go ask Alice I think she’ll know When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen’s off with her head Remember what the dormouse said Feed your head (x3)

Ravage me, destroy me, lock me up in a cage My thoughts, my words, my actions seem to fuel your rage There’s a well in my heart that’s empty and dry Hiding behind my words to try and get by chorus: Can you please define what’s sane Ordinary and plain Is control the game you play I’m a deviant in blinded eyes The poster child of shame But who’s to say I’m different If no one is the same The world is dull, dark, and cold With no uniting bond How can you grow and change assuming everyone is wrong [chorus]

verse: All my walks are plagued by raindrops My compass twists and turns, it can’t stop Windows to portraits of confusion Help to feed into my illusion chorus (x2): Clouds are blinding my sight Of the blue sky [verse] [chorus] (x2) Hey! _______________________________________________________ Raindrops may fall However nothing but joy consumes me I haven’t got an ounce of lethargy This energy carries me through the fog I’m covered in scars and I just may be bruised But I refuse to live a la-la-la-lie I strayed from the lost traveled path to create my own The feeling gets me ha-ha-ha-high Yeah raindrops fall On me, on you, on them, on everyone But hey, don’t wait until the rain is gone To live as if it is a sunny day _______________________________________________________ Within me exists the capacity to change And failure to do so will leave me lost and deranged ’Cause time keeps on movin’ at times I fail to see That which stands right in front of me It’s the found ability to accept something new The weight on my chest serves as my cue Weight on my chest serves as my cue Myself directs and redirects, stages then erects A structure that tries to stay in place But can’t because time will erase and replace The feelings of old with the feelings of now Stop trying to think where, why, or how Get a good taste of the air that you breathe ’Cause at any moment it’ll fade and leave It’s a constant struggle with the constraints of time Let go, free your spirit, body, and mind Let go, free your spirit, body, and mind _______________________________________________________ (x2): The truth pulls towards you like a beast with claws The fear inside exposes all your flaws God’s trapped in ribbed prison bars Now your soul is dead but you didn’t die Air, food, and water can’t sustain life Who are you if you don’t know who you are God’s bangin’ at the door sayin’ please oh please It’s been nice, kind sir, but now can I leave Blackbirds soarin’ across grey skies _______________________________________________________ (x2): I’m so tired of walkin’ away I’m so tired of playin’ these games (repeat) I think that I might be a[lone] _______________________________________________________ Take a chance, lose it all Take it back again Can you hear where this is going Not a small, but a large percentile Emotions tied in, flying so high, so young What’s the risk when you gain a lover She’ll take you dancing in the sky But will she be the cause of your demise Because she will eventually leave you dry Gone, gone soon, another sleepless night Try, try to make sense of it all It may feel that it’s right by your side A feeling that’s comforting you But just wait, you’ll see that it’s blinding Emotions tied in, flying so high, so young _______________________________________________________ I’m drivin’ my car in the fast lane All fucked up on nitrous and cocaine My dealer got here right on time Cut it up and do a line Runnin’ through the canyon, lost in life Wonder if I should take a hit of this pipe What is in it, I don’t care I’ll have some if you’re willing to share Take a hit, go with it Climb trees now, yeah Splash in the waves Little Rastafarian wants to have some fun But run away now when you’re done Bike along the shore ’til the sun warms your soul once more Strollin’ through the woods, my perceptions have been changed Where was I goin’, I got fungus on the brain Oh I can’t explain why I can’t explain how ’Round and ’round we go, this is all I wanna feel Unphased and delirious, it feels like nothing’s real So come on, give me another shot Of the strongest type of poison that you got Yeah
