Check it check it check it out
got clout and you know that Large in the margin my drama unfolds behind closed doors told on the down-low i believe that I'm so but really, i don't know maybe it's better, but I can't think so maybe its better to fight, one never ever knows believe the rumors that grow like tumors more fun than the truth that we know Trying too hard to reach a higher plane Will fuck you up when you least expect it you think you're moving closer when suddenly you wrecked it but all the same, the pain gains wisdom as if you ain't had enough then you're in some prison of your own creation mental dilation look at what your facin' placin' blame in every direction (what?) but in the end it's your own infection, (di?) There's no way to avoid listening you'll always end up listening here's hoping the voices aren't too unkind here's hoping the voices are benign it's easier when you hear it there's no reason to fear it it's you you You think they'll probably find you well then you're probably right cause they'll come back to remind you, for eternity of when you gave up the fight, yeah somehow they always will find you the voices in the night, every night keep comin' back to remind you, for eternity of when you gave up the fight There's no way to avoid listening you'll always end up listening here's hoping the voices aren't too unkind here's hoping the voices are benign it's easier when you hear it there's no reason to fear it it's you you |

Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going the more it will spin the more that I try to stop my mind flowing away, away to all that I despise along the way to close my eyes You can't be let down if you don't expect the world expect to lay awake and by your sleeping girl if somebody cares then there is no way you can tell cursed consciousness is your private hell Along the way to close my eyes I lost where I was going the more it will spin the more that I try to stop my mind flowing away, away to all that I despise along the way to close my eyes Tick, tick, tick the clock bludgeons your mind endlessly replaying times that were unkind go away sun I'm not prepared for you today it seems you are, it seems you are, huh! Along the way to close my eyes I lost where I was going the more it will spin the more that I try to stop my mind flowing away, away to all that I despise along the way to close my eyes |

A day like today is for you
To let your mind unwind like you ought to Feel the earth turn 'round when your heart rate slows Contemplating the thing only your heart knows That life's not a race So hard to believe Part of me will fade In a mystery In a future world Long ago Parts feel for your love And lives to tell you so The world whirls around your mind in a golden spiral The natural way that things organize You can't stop entropy so why even try Observe the conscious flow and don't mystify Life's not a race So hard to believe Part of me will fade In a mystery In a future world Long ago Parts feel for your love And lives to tell you so Uh, hey Slippin' into a trance A chance encounter in the autumn What do I see an opportunity And then, I got' em Sought a chill-out mix to Carve some space To make you want to listen It's a bubblin' spring and Double in kings of This soundsystem So hard to believe Part of me will fade In a mystery In a future world Long ago Parts feel for your love And lives to tell you so Do you see world without end The rising sun my friend Imagine cloud-like You will form again In the spacey boredom In the autumn of late afternoon You are calm Just like a sleepy room |

Just sever that leash and release
Your freedom of speech You just have to believe Your deed will be received Somehow somewhere You won't be repaid with a blank stare Let me know if you dare There's no one that could cure you like she does (She does) No one could leave you so alone (Cuh, cuh, come on) Here I goes My vibe is holy My eyes closed Either I'm asleep Or what I'm thinking is deep Eventually I sigh and kick the sheets Try to piece together why I'm here Nothing except my own damn eyes and ears And then it sever so I listen to my heart Always and ever If it's not good it might get better If it's not good it might just sever I tell you money there's other honey You always show it but you don't know it Staring at the door thinking About the mess you're in In your couch sinking deep Over the girl that's gone Just sever that leash and release Your freedom of speech You just have to believe Your deed will be received Somehow somewhere You won't be repaid with a blank stare Let me know if you dare Now all you think about her Drink about her in vain But all else feels like you're betraying (Cuh, cuh, come on) We're wakin' it up face up and shakin' it up We know of an extended field This is the deal we're letting and getting The vibes that we want Open up your heart and proceed to feel Now you're inchin' up to the summit never plummet Boot your system up And then bail with the middle finger up Why are you so abrupt baby don't be corrupt Standin' in the club playin' the wall That they're not her is all You think and that is true But what else can you do Trying to turn back time Or just tow the line Cuz the space you're in Is no place like home |

You got a wishing well within
That's ready to begin See how we roll See how we roll I'm trying to compromise Because with me there are no lies See how we run It's already begun Now that I'm back to a pushing pen That weighs two hundred tons I'd like to drop it on you And watch it all fall through Nobody knows just what You're battling inside You can hide Nobody knows just why Most everyone will lie If they need to The ones who aggravate you most And happen to be ever close Seem to be the ones lurching For the same things that you are searching The ones that make you feel ill And you think that nature should have killed Those you curse when you're alone Seem to be so close to home (Chorus x2) Not an even field to be on Feels like standing still for eons and eons Stare it dead in the eye, what now? All we can do is try to shut it down Shut it down |

Are you missing us
Maybe wanting to be kissing us If you must When please don't be dismissing us When we'regone ballin' on the bus Are we immersed in a sea of replicants Hard exteriors and fake gold fronts Losing yourself in the flavor of the mouth Gotta be a better reason to colonize a star Gotta be a better reason man's come so far Is that you in the mama-ocean-people-sea Is that you in this dream I see waving me Closer with one hand While the other shields your eyes as if surprised To see the universe begin Being up on the mindspin Are you still glad that it has been Six years and a seven months This is what you want don't front I'm feelin' it right now In this, the goldhour Part clock and part man Reconcilling my lifespan Keeping things whole We move out of the space where air flows When all of a sudden here we are and here we go The evolutionary mind turns twists backflips In space-time The continuum Real life planetarium It's a natural fact Time is speeding up There isn't much left Heart rate increasing Bustin' through your chest Compressed Is your life in the physical But out of memory comes a vision Which is a miracle Yeah that Normally we just can't see It's not natural or typical Of our same old thing Livin' to fast Unable to grasp the past Or the future When at last we ripple After our big splash Being up on the mindspin Are you still glad that it has been Six years and a seven months This is what you want don't front I'm feelin' it right now In this, the goldhour Part clock and part man Reconcilling my lifespan You remain and refrain From the pain of wasted time The last thing on my mind is Running high fuel supply Reason why We just don't quit Can you get with A melding of two minds What's the worst thing You could find Paper trail That prevails In dernystification People want to believe In mysteries People want to believe In mysteries Is the truth so bad? x4 |

Fire is my method for destruction
Leaving chard wreckage from my latest eruption Unpredictable, my erratic demeanor Bobbing and weaving as my mind gets leaner Though I'm trippin on legs that stumble but I don't fall down You know I'm singing out things you mumble from a lack of resound Pissed off mist lifts to honesty Now come down motherfucker with your philosophy I'm at ease when I feel there's a breeze Give me a little please Aristotle I'm not but think of Socrates So are you ready for your lesson blood? Democratic non erratic Socratic method We'll take away the pain We'll pacify the bullshit built up in your brain In times of change or the same old thangs As you maintain or rearrange (Chorus) Can't nobody do it like 311 Fuckin' up competition cuz there really is none Steppin on your game from the first floor up tore up Electricity we store it up Can't nobody do it like 311 Break it down, what it is, dedication Sending out gratitude like we laid it out on Down Throw down fuck the bullshit we're still the sound Wild and lost speed mad A long way from sad Lookin' good like you should you're bad An itinerant dimension mystic is your spirit see Like color absolute bodiless indeed Casual kindred spirit past All the obstacles you're dealin' with at last The nasdaq, two puppies, baby needs new shoes Car alarms, your rent, wedding bells, the blues The tragic fucking comedy that was last night Unfolds to my inner devils sheer delight A pointless fucking banter in an endless bout With whiskey soaked frolic room tobacco mouth Then a sickening trip to what I call the elitist cesspool Beckoning all the sycophants and defeated yes-fools Hung over, broke, and a round of apologies Now come down Martinez with the modern mythology (Chorus) |
