[ Featuring Nathan Menhorn ]
I'm layin around in the middle of the day
And i'm tryin to pretend that i'm clear and ok
But i'm not and i can't seem to get away
On my knees in the night sayin prayers i don't like
Anything for the light
But i don't wanna fight
And the glass has never shattered like it did last night
And that bathroom door will never be right
'cause i kicked the thing out like that makes it alright
And i tell you this now not to give you a fright
But to give you the site that i lacked last night
When i couldn't see anything past my own nose
And the girl told me no and i had to explode
So i took up a sword and i hacked out my doors
And i ended up spending the night on the floor
From time to time shit comes around tears hit the ground
And everybody wants to be strong pound for pound
And every once in a while, you're on bended knee
Watchin the sweat rain down from your grill
In slow motion effect your blood conquers your will
Your eyes close and everything is suddenly so real
That's when you stop and realize the whole thing's a mess
You couldn't clean it up if you burned the whole damn address
But still we press forward and we don't regress
Thinkin that by makin it clean we can make it fresh
I remember lettin my head rest, bleedin to death
And wonderin if i would ever catch my breath
And in that test, becoming clear about life's best
And even if i f*cked it all up i was still blessed
It's like a candle burnin in the wild west
Drippin all over your desk
Randomly wax builds upon duress
So what do you do when the time comes to sing, you say
I been waitin all my life for this
I just pray that i carry through
You don't always have to be the best
You just do what you have to do
But life's a f*ckin circle ain't it funny how it comes around
Thought you got away but you were really just a blood hound
Home bound lookin for your voice to resound
But the piece of you you bitched was never really underground
Yo you call yourself a square but you're as round as any ball
Laid out on a straight line you'll do nothin but fall
Footsteps are on the path already that you claim you're blazin
You'll be back to me yourself and everything amazin
You're like a dog chasin its tail if you be human
You can't deny the gemini duality consumin
Everything you do and everywhere you go
Back and forth like a yo-yo in everything you know
The only way to keep yourself from spinnin like a dredel
Is latch yourself to mobius and let it make you able
You won't get away from it, the steel is gonna squeal
But at least the truth'll be there when you reinvent the wheel
I been waitin all my life for this
I just pray that i carry through
You don't always have to be the best
You just do what you have to do
So i begin to befriend all the things i've been
And i'm seein in the end it's an upward trend
But you wouldn't believe the trouble that i've seen since then
And i grab and i clutch and i break this pen
And i don't even remember all the men i've been
From the top to the end i go back again
And when i'm slammed on the floor i'll get up once more
But it won't mean a thing if i don't come forth
And i walk to the end of this black out rage
And i sweat and i fret and i bend this cage
And i scratch in the dirt and i make things bleed
And i draw from the hurt all the strength i need
And i know that to grow i'mon hurt like whoa
But i can never ever ever let it stop this flow
I been waitin all my life for this
I just pray that i carry through
You don't always have to be the best
You just do what you have to do
