Mr. Spaceman
Can you bring me back something to believe in
Mr. Spaceman
Can you tell me why everybody's leavin
Where did the time go
slowly i'll grow old
slowly i'll decompose
so why not sell my soul
i've been sittin here huffin and heavin
while my lungs go dark like a demon
and my heart grows cold like a heathen
maybe this'll give me some sense of reason
feel my fingers locked in place
medusa looked me in the face
she said son it'll be okay
just go and pray just go and pray
Mr. Spaceman
Can you bring me back something to believe in
Mr. Spaceman
Can you tell me why everybody's leavin
Mr. Spaceman
I know we don't really talk
but Mr. Spaceman
dont draw around me with chalk
Where did the time go
Mr. Spaceman

I hear a weird sound
Something bad's about to happen
if I fall asleep right now.
My body's shaking on its own,
gotta breathe slow,
four, seven, eight, till the panic gets low
See my brain is a mess
and I don't know what's wrong with it,
Don't have the funds to get a test
so I guess I'm gonna run with it,
have fun with it,
I'm done with it, and maybe one day
I'll be able to say I am one with it
It's a struggle sometimes
when I feel like my mind
is playin tricks on me,
throwin kicks on me
when I'm down low,
but I think I'll be fine cause I'm boutta smoke
feel my head spinnin,
hear the clock tickin
feel the weed hittin while I'm flickin off the ash

Minor Inconvenience
03:49
|

|
I feel the wind blowing
Makin the trees flow and
sway as the dog starts to bark.
I feel a lightness
inside of my mind
that begins as the lighter sparks
My senses, they tingle
as I sing a jingle of celebrating
transdermally
and everything falls into place,
nothing around me could be as bad as yesterday
Cause yesterday,
you dropped your chicken on the floor,
you pinched your finger in the door,
and then you stubbed your toe
and the day before,
you made another small mistake
your body's got another ache
and your parents are mad again
I feel a chill growing
Inside my room as the owls
sound after dark
I feel a lightness
inside of my mind
that begins as the lighter sparks
The sounds that surround me,
the essence of beauty,
the feeling of playing my guitar
and everything falls into place
nothing around me could be as bad as yesterday
Cause yesterday
your stomach hurt again
you lost another friend
and you made another foe
and the day before,
you had way too much to drink
your body's almost on the brink
but you're still ready to go
I feel the wind blowing
I feel a chill growing,
The feeling of playing my guitar.

Synergy

I feel your heart beating against my arm,
I see a tear in your eye in the dark.
"what's on your mind?
is there anything I can do to help you pass the time?"
And when evening meets with the night,
and when the nights covered by the sunlight,
I'll be right here.
I have a pain in my head when I wake,
Till you help me find the source of the ache,
You ask, "are you alright?
Is there anything I can do to help you pass the time?"
And when evening meets with the night,
and when the nights covered by the sunlight,
I know you're here.

Dreaming
05:06
|

|
I walk into every moment,
not knowing how a moment works.
I talk like I think I know it,
but then I fall over every step.
I don't like my life.
I try to believe I'm something,
but then intrudes a voice inside.
I'll lie, in this bed exhausted
but when I do, its on my mind.
I don't like my life
as a kid, I always dreamed
scary dreams, I was full of fear.
Now as I've grown, these dreams still haunt me,
into a place that I don't wanna go,
I don't like my life.
But someday I will dream in peace
and you can join me if you please
land we were promised at birth
a happy place on this green earth
So join me, as we go downstream
in this river of our forgotten dreams.
and we will reminisce, while we get high
and we'll get through, we will get by
that is my dream.

Beautiful Day (The Game)
07:00
|
|||

It's a beautiful day, for once the grass isn't grey
and when I spilled my drink this morning,
I just brushed it away.
I've got my favorite shirt on, no one can get in my way,
and when somebody asks "how are you?"
I will no what to say
I'm doing okay
I looked in the mirror, I don't feel ugly for once,
I don't feel like I'm disgusting and I don't feel like a dunce
I don't feel bad about the past, like the year that I flunked,
I was feeling a lot and I guess the stress won.
But it's a beautiful day
Forget all the sadness, I'll ride this wave to the grave,
I'm tired of feeling like I need to be saved.
I'll get up tomorrow and hope I still feel the same,
But soon I'll remember I haven't beaten this game.

You'll See It Too
06:02

I know it's hard
to feel so weak
in a world so dark
I know you're tired,
its hard to breathe
on this journey you've embarked
but soon you'll feel whole,
you'll be one with your soul
you won't always want to die
but for now just know
just know
It's your anxiety
It's their anxiety
it's my anxiety
I know it's hard
to feel so week,
in a world so dark it's hard to see
but when the sun comes up
I know you'll see it too
and when the birds start singing
they'll be singing you a tune
and when the waves calm down,
we can all start floating through
and when the fire goes out
we'll be be breathing again real soon
