Just another day midweek and I’m calming my mind Another glass half full, it distracts me for now The girl I’m chasing has a head like a stone The one chasing me is young at heart and taking me home The solo days have left me nothing but ignorant And as I look around I’m just to drawn It seems like I get younger every day The more I grow the more I want to take the easy way I stumble so much it looks like a march Still waiting for a love to revamp the art I write like a goon on a Tuesday, drinkin’ since noon The world falls apart all I can do is break hearts and sing the mood I blame society I blame Jesus and the uppers I blame society I blame Jesus and the uppers I blame society I blame Jesus and the uppers I blame society I blame Jesus and the uppers I blame society I blame Jesus and the uppers I blame society I blame Jesus and the uppers I blame society I blame Jesus and the uppers I blame society I blame Jesus and the uppers

Woke Up High 03:59
They just stare at you They don’t know what to do They’re lost and swimming clumsily in circles, a bunch of misfits Woke up high Woke up high Woke up high Woke up high So I know a girl, she’s mostly crazy She just lets her thoughts rattle off and I know a dude caught up in a mood Always getting lost in his thoughts Another good friend, he smokes a fresh blend getting goofy, nobody minds I meet them for beers and maybe some bowls and maybe some blowin’ out the roads Woke up high Woke up high Woke up high Woke up high They stumble around in the city Oh what a way to live day to day They wear no expression, cold in the eyes Thinkin’ about what they watched wash away The hands are the thief, the feet the escape and the mouth is nothing but lies You’re running head first into midday traffic Who knows where you’re going to die Woke up high Woke up high Woke up high Woke up high

I predict a dark and stormy night What else would you expect this year? Who’s gonna be payin’ from dust till dawn? It’s gonna be me I know her, no maybe I don’t but now I’m changing for the worse You know I’ll make it around the world Until I finally meet myself The faceless phrases that she makes They get repeated in my dreams The melt the colors out the sky Into this dark and stormy night The faceless phrases that she makes They get repeated in my dreams The melt the colors out the sky Into this dark and stormy night Into this dark and stormy night

Indigo Eyes 03:42
Catch one, you’ve got to have a pretty face Open your arms, forget the race Drop some LSD-25 into both those indigo eyes Catch one, you’ve got to have a pretty face Open your arms, forget the race Drop some LSD-25 into both those indigo eyes I’ve tasted the beauty and sometimes that is all you get The visions and memories get drilled to my naked skin One life to live and I find I’m sweating in awe Got to give as much as you can draw Awoken sounds will breathe Awoken sounds will bleed Awoken sounds will breathe Awoken sounds will bleed Drop some LSD-25 Drop some LSD-25 Drop some LSD-25 Drop some LSD-25 into both those indigo eyes

Sitting in between these four dark walls with the smell of the flies and the stale alcohol Had a vision I was leading, had a following that believed me, in the morning I still woke up weak Looks like a dismal day in the fall, want to leave it all drowning in the past, I don't care Look at myself in the mirror, ask out loud, “Should I take it into town?” Travel twenty hours down Ah, the secret glass, past painted portraits At last, all the stained glass in the core of my hearts forrest is fully lit but as everybody knows, sometimes you’re stuck with horse shit Of course You’ve got anxiety you nervous wreck and yesterday was yesterday, you’re somebody else’s pet I think it’s about time you quit the headache and reconnect the dots because you’re lost and you always seem stuck between that and the get go Who’s in denial when you’re crying in the street, tryin’ to tell me how it is Tyin’ to tell me how its all going down Who’s really got the wild eyes when we try to aspire as a team and there ain’t no reason why Who’s in denial when you’re crying in the street, ‘cause you’re tryin’ to make a scene Tryin’ to tell me how it is Who’s gonna listen when there ain’t no reason why? Who’s gonna listen when there ain’t no reason why?

Uncle Rash 02:34
Well Uncle Rash gonna grind them blues Uncle Rash gonna grind them blues Uncle Rash don’t need no foolish feud Uncle Rash gonna grind them blues Uncle Rash gonna grind them blues Uncle Rash don’t eat no foolish food 1 2 3 4!!! What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? “Just one more rack for the road,” he said “I’d rather be asleep or I’d rather see dead people dancing around to skanky tunes” So fry me an egg and fill my mug a window to the garden to seal in the sun Sleepin’ in the desert Burn off the fumes What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? What’s the heat for!? GO!!!

My love Communication reached the limit for a while Gorgeous demonstration and most innocent your smile As she's sweeter than sugar, tasting sweeter every time But I am the bitter wine This vulnerable patience How the floor would be the sky Heart of our relation, rolling water from your eyes As she's sweeter than sugar, tasting sweeter every time But I saw the rivers cry Gone sailing, past daydreams My veins pump wild The day seems discontent, abundant I wish to free my sweet dreams Don’t go I love you so The track replaying in my mind and when it’s been long enough you’ll see its all in life As you’re sweeter than sugar, tasting sweeter every time and honey, I recognize Gone sailing, past daydreams My veins pump wild The day seems discontent, abundant I wish to free my sweet dreams I wish to free my sweet dreams

Any way I gotta see the world and what we ought to be I only see a fragile glass, it’s cracking Leaking slowly but surely The lies are pooling up and babe, I don’t think its gonna last But knowing what I do I’m not a fool and just like you I started young and ignorant but now I’m grown Bravely throwing my soul Rarely do you find another that you can call upon but in my time of need I’m lucky, ‘cause you are all my brothers Smothered by the broken system Can you recall back when you held your girl and really loved her? Before they shot the rubber bullets and you heart was swollen Start questioning the things you thought that you were in control of Start blowing up at all those personal things you left holes in You’ve never seen yourself in all the stress until you saw the whole charade and it was broken Until you saw the whole charade and it was broken After many days have past I see the glass It’s in new color and contrast I step inside my cocoon and let the bombs rest Lets recognize this cartoon we’re all apart of Maybe it’s time for some hallucinations Because I can tell I’m losing my patience Besides disaster may strike any day, babe I’ve never seen myself in all the stress until I saw the whole charade and it was broken Until I saw the whole charade and it was broken And now I’ve run through again And now I’m throwing my soul Throwing my soul

Don’t turn away from me Don’t turn away from me Don’t turn away from me unless you’re sure you’re gonna leave I’ve gazed into those eyes and seen you’re love for me and I’ve seen those bitter stares look right through me but don’t turn away from me Don’t turn away from me Don’t turn away from me Don’t turn away from me unless you’re sure you’re gonna leave Your past is with the wind, you don’t need me You’re numb and baby, that’s what you feed me but don’t turn away from me Get up! Don’t turn away from me Don’t turn away from me Don’t turn away from me unless you’re sure you’re gonna leave I ain’t the perfect man, but I loved you It kills me inside but what I must do is leave you with your lies Leave you with your lies

Rare Meat 05:11
Loose on the full throttle of the circus in my mind Take the sounds and the voices yelling at me and I’ll make ‘em mine I’ll just stroke my billy goat beard as I’m laughin’ away In all hysterics, leave my trail soiled and filthy on the path that you paved Everybody is my therapist Everybody ties my hair in knots yea, the world is my therapist I’d let her know but she’d rather not she’d rather not Sometimes I wonder if I should keep on breathing and if so will they know that I'm faking it Well every second, all the time, my mind is screaming Wave goodnight ‘cause these dreams won’t let me fuckin’ go to sleep Well I’m doing my best to let it go and just leave it be I can’t stand the way she make me feel Well her name is gravity Lay the quick ended solutions out on the table to see what’s really worth a while and what’s just rare meat And beaten raw isn’t really a depiction ’til you know what you mean I’ll kill the memories and then you’ll be accustomed to the world I need Everybody is my therapist Everybody ties my hair in knots yea, the world is my therapist I’d let her know but she’d rather not she’d rather not Everybody is my therapist Everybody ties my hair in knots yea, the world is my therapist I’d let her know but she’d rather not she’d rather not Hey! Everybody is my therapist Everybody ties my hair in knots yea, the world is my therapist I’d let her know but she’d rather not she’d rather not
