You're always chopping but the cutting was never enough
..and then I wonder I haven't completely fell off or given up
You're always chopping but the cutting was never enough
then it seems just like I'm falling but I'm always getting up
You're gonna push me on my way
then you're gonna take it to the limit but I'm gonna give it back today
I was bleeding from my back
Just a birthday gag with a note for me and your lovers twisted evil laugh
I was dying on the floor
Looking long for the strength that I once had that I never got to use before

Accurate View
03:28
|

Days can be a waste stuck in a frame but it's just typical
To not speak up and stay inside the box but it won't take a miracle
Just an accurate view, a new new view just to constitute what's free
I say no, I won't go
no more diggin' a buried past
For the past 3 years I've been wondering exactly how it all went wrong
Then a gift from a friend, it showed me
I need to sing a different tune
Just an accurate view, a new new view just to constitute what's free
I say no, I won't go
no more diggin' a buried past
Oh it's not for sale but for a decent bid it can be shown to us
In what we wage for just a sneak peak really ain't enough
No

Try To Feel Better

Try to feel better, I said I know you will
Bring it all together, I said I know you will
When your devil visits just don't forget to give 'em hell
All your phrases are a rhythm and a rhyme
So connect the lies that lead right to your eyes
Singin' me a song and you don't even have to try
It's so obvious with who I see
There's a longing for a true destiny
How I've pondered over times when I've pined
Just wishing it was you that I'm talking to
Try to feel better, I said I know you will
Bring it all together, I said I know you will
When your devil visits just don't forget to give 'em hell
How I've tried and I've tried to forget though
There's something about it,I'm forever in debt
Won't you visit 'cause I don't think I can forget

Wifi Party

We can take off, lift into outer space, maybe flee from the milky way
Explore the unknown
we got to get it goin'
Or we could take off, ride with the waves in the sky up ahead
Or just climb up some tall sound waves over hills
We got to get it goin.
Isn't it luck?
Where do I belong?
Am I chasing something I can not know?
So I burn it all up in the sun
We can take off, lift into outer space, maybe flee from the milky way
Explore the unknown
we got to get it goin'
Just a couple clicks and away we go
Disappear from reality and explore the unknown
Explore the unknown
we got to get it goin'

Water Spider

Water spider is on the move
He's got what you need
So all his friends can manufacture for another day
And how he flies
rowing the components to the production lines
He don't know what he is gonna do
floating down the river, he paddles the whole way through
His father was a poor kid from the town of Saugerties
Grew up with three brothers and Joe willy's guarantee
And he's happy now
Smiling 'cause his sorry son has got his feet off the ground
He's doing what he can to get it right
Floating down the river he paddles with all his might

Typical
04:36
|

I've got to be careful not to run my mouth when I'm drunk
Make sure my crazy for friends are all accounted for
I've got to be careful I don't get ripped when I'm standing in the doorway
I'm in the door
Typical
I've got to be careful not to work hard without striving for more
To reach out and not expect too much from anyone
End, refrain former ways and just stay in the zone
I'm in the zone
I can afford what I can't afford

So It Goes

You can't start with this riddle rhyme
but this time I think I have found it
You can't seek a drip when you're dry
A force of habit
You can't start with this fickle pride so
knock it to the ground and watch it die she said
It's time to look for a new way tonight
To bring it all together, to heighten not divide
So it grows
So what's so wrong with having shameless pride, he said
Just as long as there's a lack of pain instead
You can't start with this
Forget it, I don't need it anyway
