The way I move words keeps listeners
goals that I set get met with a grimace
isn't it odd that I can't make rent being fed funds
furthers my goal for a new sing along
friends think fate is the reason that I don't quit
I live for love I wallow in my fits
self esteem sleeper
cell phone screamer
the heart beats eager for a meager meal
so why did I come to this basement
I'm 5 years older than most of the patrons
my teen years kept most fears at a slow pace
I didn't drink till well past the due date
the experience of bathroom peering and finding yourself ass naked near a toilet is
something I avoided probably for good measure
but I still need closure
so since I avoided all forms of what some call fun
im in a basement
staring at sludge
trying to shift from the pitched noises
that my Dj would somehow have learned to flip
I can't see 5 feet in front of me
the rooms so crowded with smoke filled lungs
while some start tumbling
I find stress on a couch, I'm surrounded by strangers I need to get out
anxiety attack on time what's next
build a big deal about the situation in your head
if I die here god or whoever is in charge, please bury my belongings in the back yard
I should be at home
recording new vocals
instead of this appearance in another world
local I'm a joke in my own mind based on impressions from friends I pretend to obtain in the industry
all of these thoughts at the forefront
Notch carved on determination and dumb luck
so why am I still such a loner in this lost world
I welcome change in the form of a girl
moved from a city that forgot what it means to build a foundation on your dreams while means don't meet the end
I stand with friends pretend that somehow rap music will be there.
