She's a Babe

There she goes, looking fine
And I can tell she probly hears it all the time
And maybe I can be the one to catch her eye
And let it go when it starts to cry
'Cause she's not the type that's gonna last long
'Cause every other guy is singing her the same song
Waiting for the next dance
As if they've got a chance
'Cause she's a babe
You know she knows
She acts like she hates
When they ask all the same questions
Don't lie, it shows
She loves every minute
When she's getting all of the attention
Make no mistake
That girl's a babe

Wasted
02:21

All along the eastern shore
And all along the sea
There's somebody that's out to get you
And there's somebody that's out to get me
It seems like I'm always making a mess of things
I need a solution
Would you care to make a contribution?
I hear you're up to date with the confusion
If life's a contest, you're probably losing
All this time
I've been trying to hide myself
I thought I would need your help
‘Cause it seems like you’re always wasted

Ooo, the breeze feels so good
Never thought it could
Feel so good
I'll meet you on your way up
And catch you on your way down
Mmm, the earth tastes so good
Never thought it could
Taste so good
Way, way down

I come from the year 2568
Where our brains are connected wirelessly
So the future doesn't end up that way
Nobody knows till somebody tries
Nobody cares till somebody dies
Nobody's home, so stay outside
When you're all alone, turn out the light
There's no future when you're a time traveler
Really? Yeah

Equilibrium for your cranium
Equilibrium will soothe your cranium
The chain is too tight
The grass is too long
You need equilibrium
For your cranium
Somebody feed the dog
The lonely, lonely dog
Olden, golden Goldilocks had just enough to drink
She had a lot of love to share, and shared a bit with me
Then the howling, prowling hound caught her curiosity
So she threw the dog a bone
That landed just out of reach
She said, "He needs equilibrium for his cranium"
Meditation once a day keeps the doctor away
Meditation once a day keeps the doctor at bay

Sing to me softly
Help me float away like bubbles
Float away
I'm dreaming out the window
Speak to me softly
Eyes like skies of blue getting cloudy
Colors bleeding through, let me follow you

Can't Cook

Look real hard at that end point
Before we finish the end of this joint
Because on my shoulders, I’ll anoint
The knowledge upon you
Like putting on the perfect shoe
This is the do or die, that fight or fly
Why sink when I can swim?
So, I’ll leave my bygones in the bin
And focus on the in-between selection
Like how through the cracks of the crowd
We avoid detection, just call it secession
From the front of the everyday
Who’s got time to have it your way
When you’re always begging me to stay?
Gotta go to work and I gotta get paid
Trying to keep my many fears at bay
In the eventual sway of the night and day
Dawn and dusk, but who’s looking at us?
In the end, it’s not me and not him
No, not now, and by then
You’ll be off to the roller coasters
Choking them birds like you’re supposed to
All those chickens that you beat
Stepping out the kitchen, watch the skeet
Is this how you treat yourself?
You fall flat on your face? Defeat?
And I hope you land on your feet
This isn’t a fucking treat
And all those boys you see
They don’t want you, they just want that pussy
Why you trying to lie like that?
I don't know why you're tryna lie like that
I always see you standing there
Half naked in your underwear
What’s worse is the smile and stare
You give to me when you let down your hair
Girl, you give my drawers a scare
And it’s not that I don’t care
I just think you were fucked up from the crib
Since you still act like you need a bib
Whoops, you told a fib
The timeless mistake you make
Being with you’s like filling out a fucking Mad Lib
I tell you what to do
And the rest is stupid through and through
It’s just you, not me
But I can see it in everything you do
Girl, you’re lonely, and I don’t know if you know
But I can see you standing there in the snow
If it only it snowed where you live
You’d have something to play with besides yourself
In your bedroom, waiting for another guy
To come walking by
Hi, always strutting fly
Just the same old guy
Walking right on by
Didn’t even have to try
Just threw you my number
Lo and behold, you discovered
I want what you have to offer
Like an undercover, secret mission
In the bedroom, we be kissing
But the rest is not for listening
Sloppy seconds, maybe
And D, I know you gonna hate me
You went through this ghost house first
You probly bore the worst
I recognize the advice that you gave me
Man, you right, this girl is crazy
She’s always saying something, always bluffing
Anything to keep the dogs coming
This kitten’s got me smitten
Though I know she just a vixen
Mixing the next story in a pot
Girl, whether you like it or not
You’re gonna get yourself shot
But man, you’re right, it’s my mistake
Should’ve never let you in my life
An overload of strife is at stake, so let’s bake
But just wait one, little second more
While I carry all the weight
Is this fate? Definitely not
Just a delusion caused by pot
My patient’s fixed up on the spot
It’s like you can’t relax
Motherfucker never learned to sit back
A Zig Zag and a six pack
Girls like you cook your own smack
And dose up too much
Because you’ve long lost your touch
Alone in the back of the pack
You act like I don’t know too much
Girl, your brain must be mush
Too many cocks you’ve bum-rushed
But where you really fucked up
Is how you can’t keep it on hushed

Why Should I Do You?
02:25
|

Why should I do you any favors?
This old trick has gone too far
What should I be waiting for next?
I didn't know who you were at first
Got names confused
I guess everybody now knows I found out too soon
Don't you feel amused?
Good intentions couldn't last me too long
Couldn't stand against the devil in my song
I realize now I was used like a tool to patch the bruise
To entertain a crowd with the guise of a muse
Would you play me like that if I was famous?
Would you be so pale if you were dangerous?
You're self diagnosed, fully comatose, way under-dosed
Don't look here, no, now we're closed
You thought the noose was closed
But girl, you’re dealing with the ghost
Of a long dead sociopathic host
My body's tied up to a post
What you see of myself is what came back from hell
So, set sail to a new place
Or don't come back without a new face
You think that you're the shit
But until you get a hold of it
You'll always be depressed
Forever getting undressed
Leaving cuts across your breast to let the light in
And they call you, “Sunshine”
Add it all up
What is this really about?

The Misconception
04:28

What are people saying now?
They're always bringing you down
They're talking shit about you
Did you ever have a clue?
They're always giving you hell
But not to anybody else
So, maybe it's just you
So, what are you gonna do?
It seems like you got lost in your own mind
'Cause, baby, you're hard to find
I've been there too
So I'll give you some advice
There's an answer that's disguised by your own mind
And I found the answer while I was in there
They're always talking some shit about you

The Way She Goes
03:02

Hey, your insides are showing
They might say, "Keep it on the down low"
But they're already flowing
So, might as well let them flow
'Cause there's more to knowing
Than they think they know
Watch out for the unreal
In the atmosphere
Just try to stay here
When you're in the atmosphere
Here again
Not in the mood to pretend
Lucky for me the scene died
The crowd was unsatisfied
'Cause it's hard to please what's unnecessary
'Cause, you know, it's just the way she goes
I met a girl
We almost made it
But hold up, she evaporated
A girl, I almost ate it
But hold up, she evaporated
Into the atmosphere

The girl who never killed herself
She's still alive today
She never got away
It's funny, she's a lot like me
And I never really understood what she saw
In a guy like me before
I could never really seem to be
Too much brighter these days
She's half alive
I want to ride without that high
'Cause she's half alive
I'll be the other half
Just do the math
Add it all up and you will really see
What this was meant to be
But I can't seem to find the right lyrics to describe
What's going on
What's really going on?
Reality seeps through my mind
And I can't seem to find
My way through this rain
That is trying to disguise the world from me
So, I'll just try to keep my eyes set straight
I don't know where I'm going
I'm walking in a straight line sometimes
I'm just trying to keep moving forward
And I can never get bored
Because I got so much left
I'm only ten percent started
And I can never really seem to
But I ran out of words
