One of these days I might get off of this couch, get out of the house, and start looking on the inside instead of out, but the chances of that happening are so damn low I got a better chance of trying to make my liver explode, and who the hell needs to find comfort when you’ve got basic cable with doctor phil, and who the hell needs to stay healthy when you got a cabinet that’s filled with pills. I don’t see a problem with depression because all it ever does is make me fall asleep, and what’s the point of living when you can’t even eat?
On my way to rock bottom I’ll be screaming watch out below
One of these days I might get dealt a good hand, I’ll win this high stakes card game and I’ll buy me some land, but in life the dealers cheating, and I’m losing to the house, which is why I don’t own one I’m in a squat on the couch. But I guess this is better than nothing, at least I got place that can keep me dry, and I can do whatever I want to as long I do nothing when the cops drive by, and when my squat get raided I’ll be evicted and knowing my luck it’ll be raining outside, and I’ll be stuck in the middle of nowhere so no one can watch me keel over and die
On my way to rock bottom I’ll be screaming watch out below
At least in my dreams where I know that it’s safe I can be rich and successful and get out of this place, but when I decide I should finally wake, I won’t be able to tell what’s real or fake. And sure I’m unhealthy and lazy but that doesn’t mean that I cant handle my own, and I may be rotting my insides but you don’t have to remind me because I already know. I guess it’s time for me to move on, it’s time for me to get out of this hell hole so someone else can take my place as I watch my new life unfold.

Well I'm just looking for answers, and I know I'm not the only one
Even though this path to truth is blinding, Oh
I'm going to keep on walking towards the sun
My hopes and dreams all seem buried
I can't lift this weight over my head
Over millions of mile and for a long long while
I was hoping I soon would be dead
And all of these burdens
Are only good for slowing me down
So I cast off these shackles and I'm picking up steam
Looking for some new hope to be found
I'm just looking for answers, and I know I'm not the only one
Even though this path to truth is blinding, Oh
I'm going to keep on walking towards the sun
These rails will keep on singing,
As that train continues on it's path
And all these problems keep on trying to poke out there ugly heads But I'm going to drown them in this whiskey bath
So now Intoxicated, I lose all hope and resolve
And when that hangover hits and I start to feel like shit
It's just another problem to be solved
I'm just looking for answers, and I know I'm not the only one
Even though this path to truth is blinding, Oh
I'm going to keep on walking towards the sun
Well I'm lost and I'm stranded, talking to myself for company
And for a long time I fought but I guess that I forgot
The only thing that's holding myself back is me
Now I can find some new peace, for my burdens I finally cast aside
With a new sense of freedom, and a new clean slate
I have a smile on face with my head held high
I'm just looking for answers, and I know I'm not the only one
Even though this path to truth is blinding, Oh
I'm going to keep on walking towards the sun

Life inside of a false existence, can be gone within an instance, we push ourselves just to go the distance but to a point a point that I guess we missed it.
We like to talk like the cock of the walk but we're an embarrassment, my stomach sinks when I begin to think about where that potential went; to the bills and food and gasoline and a majority that goes to rent, to the drugs and booze and nicotine and any numbing to your expense!
Chorus- We lie to ourselves and say everything is fine, but that's what they want, for it to be the same. We all waste all of our precious ticking time, the only thing to count on is counting change.
Pat on the head, pat on the back, but still no raise and still no slack, no accolades, flowers or plaques, they make you blame trans, queers and blacks. It's what the boss is looking for because we live in a prison state. To keep the masters fat and well they learned to redirec.f. the hate!
Chorus-...
Proficient at trying to instill archaic concepts of devine free will, so that we're conditioned to go and kill to keep the bastards pockets filled. You divide with such great precision, make us feel like it's our decision, use class and race to build division while saying femme stays in the kitchen!
Chorus-... Millions have died for you to have what you have! But they didn't die for you to have what you deserve! The killings not done yet as they stack the body bags, someone please tell me when the hell we'll learn!
The time has come, they know their stuck, but dig a deeper rut, the stone's been cast and we've been struck and they totally know that they are fucked. We are the rock and the hard place, P.O.C. trans, queers and gays, this hate is one we must erase, SO GRAB THAT NAZI AND PUNCH HIS FACE!
Chorus-... The the only thing to count on is breaking chains!

Jeremiah
03:26
|

Young Jeremiah at the age of 16 decided to leave home and go follow a dream
A life of peace and an absence of walls, a lack of taxes and running from the law.
Well he grew up fast and very educated from living off the land that no man ever created.
Spoke words of wisdom and never lacked fun, this is Jeremiah at the age of 21.
If you get the chance spill a 40 for Jeremiah
And if you get the chance steal a 40 for me
If you get the chance spill a 40 for Jeremiah
And if you get the chance steal a 40 for me
Young Jeremiah worked his hands to the bone, the consumption of alcohol he never did condone, till one day he decided that he should go home, no more friends and family so now he's all alone.
Completely forgot what he was looking for, so he picked up a gun and decided to go to war, and into his soul the images they tore, and he didn't want to kill anyone anymore.
He finally decided that he should get discharged, they wouldn't let him leave so he hopped on a barge.
He was tired of taking orders, of his own life he'd take charge.
Got home, and bought some whiskey, and started hopping on boxcars.
If you get the chance spill a 40 for Jeremiah
And if you get the chance steal a 40 for me
If you get the chance spill a 40 for Jeremiah
And if you get the chance steal a 40 for me
Jeremiah kept on learning as the years went by, but he also kept on drinking because his liver hadn't died.
On the nights that he got wasted all he ever did was cry, and on the nights that he was sober he just wanted to die.
Our paths had crossed he was a hermit of a man, but he was so damn wasted that he could barley stand.
I asked him for his name but I could not understand, as they days kept passing they grew less and less bland.
Eventually he grew sober and shared his knowledge with me poor Jeremiah at the age of 43.
He told me his life story with one foot in the grave, and said the meaning of life was to never be enslaved.
If you get the chance spill a 40 for Jeremiah
And if you get the chance spill a 40 for me
If you get the chance spill a 40 for Jeremiah
And if you get the chance spill a 40 for me

With one bottle of water and another full of whiskey.
Five cigarettes left in my pack and I wonder if you miss me.
My thumb is sore my feet still hurt, but all of this is what it's worth.
I got one hundred miles till I get to the next state.
Trucks, cars and interstates.
Cops and people running late.
It seems as though no body want to give you a goddamn ride, but if you're lucky, which you are, somebody just might stop their car, give you food and pepsi cans, cigarettes and garbage bags.
With one bottle of water and another full of whiskey.
Five cigarettes left in my pack and I wonder if you miss me.
My thumb is sore my feet still hurt, but all of this is what it's worth.
I got one hundred miles till I get to the next state.
Spange for change and dumpsterdive.
Do what you will to make it by.
If you're lucky you'll get some cash.
You've walked a while so rest your back.
Don't you listen to the stupid shit, that passer by's tend to cuss and spit.
Keep on walking down that road till you're puking on your friends couch.
With one bottle of water and another full of whiskey.
Five cigarettes left in my pack and I wonder if you miss me.
My thumb is sore my feet still hurt, but all of this is what it's worth.
I got one hundred miles till I get to the next state.

The one thing it is constant are the hands of time; sands passing through a focal point, it moves in a line. You can tell me it's subjective (you're correct to a point), but it's still a fucking given we're moving towards the void. Life's yours? Can you tell me how much you give away, are you really that content with constructing your grave. If there's really a tomorrow you can push it away, but when it's the bottom of the barrel it gets harder to scrape by(e)
Chorus
I don't want to live my life this way, clinging to the nose hairs, walking along the razors edge! We're in way over our heads; Head-over-heels over ideals that keep us heeled under the masters and we're happy to beg!
Take the long walks through the valleys in the shadows of death, and take the short cuts through the monoliths of hypocrites.
I feel like shit, I need to sit, my head is constantly spinning; nothing's real! Take a second to find the courage to put your hand back on the wheel
To every friend that was living, but now no longer is, I miss you more with passing time like I miss being a kid.
To every member of my family that has passed I can say I'm really sorry I haven't taken time to visit your grave.
To every single fucking person that is feeling depressed I can say understand with what beats in my chest; a culmination of numbing apathy, and overwhelming stress. You think life is fucking messy? IT GET'S HARD IF YOU DON'T CRY!
Chorus
I don't want to live my life this way, clinging to the nose hairs, walking along the razors edge! We're in way over our heads; Head-over-heels over ideals that keep us heeled under the masters and we're happy to beg!
Take the long walks through the valleys in the shadows of death, take the short cuts through the monoliths of hypocrites.
I feel like shit, I need to sit, my head is constantly spinning; nothing's real! Take a second to find the courage to put your hand back on the wheel
And it's true this life is pointless, we're insignificant dust, and it makes us feel inferior so we build things that rust, and because the fact that we feel worthless, just to give ourselves worth, we strip ourselves of independence and it's making shit worse.
If this is what we have to look forwards to for the rest of our lives, THEN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY SO MANY OF US JUST WISH WE CAN DIE!
Chorus
I don't want to live my life this way, clinging to the nose hairs, walking along the razors edge! We're in way over our heads; Head-over-heels over ideals that keep us heeled under the masters and we're happy to beg!
Take the long walks through the valleys in the shadows of death, and take the short cuts through the monoliths of hypocrites.
I feel like shit, I need to sit, my head is constantly spinning; nothing's real! Take a second to find the courage to put your hand back on the wheel
Jesse's Verse
Why are put here to suffer and die? If we're all so impermanent, why even try? What's the point? What's the end game? Life's a scam, we're just saving up money to pay for a casket or urn. I'm exhausted and ready to burn all my rhyme books. I'm snapping my pens if decay always wins, guess the light bulb burned out at the end of my tunnel
Chorus
I don't want to live my life this way, clinging to the nose hairs, walking along the razors edge! We're in way over our heads; Head-over-heels over ideals that keep us heeled under the masters and we're happy to beg!
Take the long walks through the valleys in the shadows of death, and take the short cuts through the monoliths of hypocrites.
I feel like shit, I need to sit, my head is constantly spinning; nothing's real! Take a second to find the courage to put your hand back on the wheel

Well as the world keeps on turning
We keep wandering in circles
Faces showing up inside the holes in the wall
Well you know that I'd be lying if I said that no one's dying
But we're to caught up in this waltz and we're to busy to hear the call\
Those flames keep a dancing in those alley ways from garbage cans
To keep the warmth upon those persons oh so cold
But those fires will be snuffed out along with those innocent people
And when your children ask you why it's because they're garbage, or so they're told
See Me Die
Hear my hunger
Feel my pain that the world refuses to share
I am legend now
I am a monster
Just a whisper in the darkness another scar for the world to bare
Just a whisper in the darkness another scar for the world to bare
Suburban Houses and apartments
Condominiums and Huge mansions
Uninhabited other than the wind that blows on through
Well they're scars upon the landscape
But god forbid that someone stays there
Because that's harmful for our pocket, but I can't see how that is true
We've got pounds of food a plenty
Filled with pesticides to feed us all
A majority can be found inside the trash
And if you're hungry then forget it
Because if it means another life wasted
The division of starvation is another thin line of death or cash
See Me Die
Hear my hunger
Feel my pain that the world refuses to share
I am legend now
I am a monster
Just a whisper in the darkness another scar for the world to bare
Just a whisper in the darkness another scar for the world to bare
We've got manufactured clothes
For our manufactured life styles
Bottles filled up with water, and we're happy to pay a fee
We've got phones to call our families
And the best kind of health coverage
But if you don't have money god forbid we share these things
Oh praise god for my high standards
Praise the church for it's compassion
Praise the dollar for showing me how much I'm worth
But god forbid I acknowledge others who can't achieve these holy standards
I don't care if they have families let them rot inside the dirt- FUCK THAT!
See Me Die
Hear my hunger
Feel my pain that the world refuses to share
I am legend now
I am a monster
Just a whisper in the darkness another scar for the world to bare
Just a whisper in the darkness another scar for the world to bare

Sugar bee, Sugar bee, Your father will make it home you'll see. I'll travel those mountains and sail across those seas just to be with you. I know it's hard because I'm gone, but you have to promise that you will stay strong and always be a good daughter to your mom I swear I'll see you soon.
I swear to god I'll see you soon.
I'll be there to hold your hand, to make box forts and pain and read green eggs and ham/ To help make tall castles on the play grounds with sands, to explore these plains and streams and woods that stretch across this land.
I want to hear your voice, and I want to watch you grow, and I'll say I love you darling so that you will always know, and I'll play you a song at all of my shows, even though I am not there I swear I haven't let you go.
Sugar bee, Sugar bee, Your father will make it home you'll see. I'll travel those mountains and sail across those seas just to be with you. I know it's hard because I'm gone, but you have to promise that you will stay strong and always be a good daughter to your mom I swear I'll see you soon.
I swear to god I'll see you soon.
Life is hard and can be a drag but it's also fun and beautiful, so try not to be sad, and I'll be here to listen to you vent when you are mad, because I want to see you happy, and that's because I am your dad.
And sweet fayebellene, oh sweet fayebellene, I hold you in my heart and soul and also in my dreams, but right now I have to straighten out a lot of things but you keep me on this straight track filled with hope and so I sing.
Sugar bee, Sugar bee, Your father will make it home you'll see. I'll travel those mountains and sail across those seas just to be with you. I know it's hard because I'm gone, but you have to promise that you will stay strong and always be a good daughter to your mom I swear I'll see you soon.
I swear to god I'll see you soon.

Children Of The Conch

Follow shadows to the back of my mind. I see ghosts, and devils, and piles of wasted time. It's hot, it's humid, a dangerous hull, but I resonate with the one that is my home.
My souls a swamp, my mind's a mosquito, it's drained the life from me.
I can see the teeth of the devil in the heat, and the rising tides, and the streets.
We're not afraid of catching viruses or a disease, but i guess that's just what human beings have become to be.
Setting free from this depression that I fear. Get me on the first ship out of here. I see a sail, it's rising, and I want to catch a draft, but it feels like I'm sinking inside of this life raft.
Whatever happened to hope? I don't remember what it feels like to cope.
Whatever happened to peace? I don't remember what it feels like to sleep.
Everyday is just a constant war; I AM FIGHTING, AND I AM BLEEDING!
I can see eyes right behind the door; I don't know why these demons keep feeding upon this mind inside my head that's constantly running, and it never stops, but I hope that one day it just might, right before the weight causes me to drop.
I will move on I will stay strong! I'll seek immunity in the dawning of a rising sun! Finally be able to breathe, instead of coughing and choking; this spirits a blaze but now it's just smoking. The sight of change is under the tide for I...
I am the mighty conch shell, for I am the mighty conch shell! A strong defense forged in the pressures of hell, a wetland marsh that's not ready to sell. What happened to the sawgrass, and the orange groves? To the cypress trees in the land of Seminole? We've gone to far, we've lost control, but I build this shell so I will fight for home!
For I am the mighty conch shell, for I am the mighty conch shell! A strong defense forged in the pressures of hell, for I am the mighty conch shell. I will learn to find a spirit here! Human beings are the one thing to fear! This land's fading away with every year (x2), but I still stand here, and I still stay here. I will fight hard and I will fight well for I am the mighty conch shell!

We all still miss you Erik
lyrics
Departures coming and you want to stay, because you're afraid of what might happen when you're whisked away, you've got so much going on or so you think and that's the reason why you're scared.
There's so much out there you don't even know, what do you really have here that's not away from home?
Stop making up half-assed excuses just to give up on yourself because it ain't fair.
The world will always keep on spinning, whether or not you feel like grinning what your reason for not grinning you really dont have to care.
The world is full of pain and lies, and tons of folks that you despise, but I swear there's still some beauty out there.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH I swear that there' still some beauty out there X2
Things are hectic and your hands are tied, but instead of moving forwards you push your dreams aside.
You say that you'll come back to them but all your doing is just giving up on your self.
Do you feel valued, or do you feel used?
Does it feel like you are drowning and you don't know what to do?
Why do you have to put your life on pause so you can be like everybody else?
The world will always keep on spinning, whether or not you feel like grinning what your reason for not grinning you really dont have to care.
The world is full of pain and lies, and tons of folks that you despise, but I swear there's still some beauty out there.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH I swear that there' still some beauty out there X2
It's okay when you decide to go, but when you give up on yourself just to fit the mold that they expect as all to follow in the end they're using you that's what they do.
I am a person and I have a name, I have my thoughts, I have a soul and I refuse to play your game because the only person that can know what will benefit your life is you.
The world will always keep on spinning, whether or not you feel like grinning what your reason for not grinning you really dont have to care.
The world is full of pain and lies, and tons of folks that you despise, but I swear there's still some beauty out there.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH I swear that there' still some beauty out there X2
