Welcome to my world, never heard of you/
It’s a place where encouragement can murder you/
The strangest of people compete to be equal and that right there is a cancer that will eat you/
I didn’t ask for your help/
It was easy to assume that you could cast me to hell/
Half the battle wasn’t lost it was actually stale/
So we put it on the shelf and we fasted untilllll…
Plastic was edible/
Traffic was bearable/
Fractions of life were contrasted by chemicals/
Stress became medical/
Cash wasn’t integral/
Pack up the family and practice at letting go/
Go and expect to be changed forever/
It’s a painful experiment you’ll label clever/
The faith of a nation opposed to terror/
Composed of the sinners that control surrender/

I live like each song is my last one/
Last night fate made me burn the attraction/
To having everything, sacrifice integrity/
And pass that along to the class just ahead of me.

Come and get involved/
There’s something in the walls/
It’s taking time to recognize it was nothing at all/
I’m reaching out of me/
Monitor the battery/
Flip it in reverse and it will operate unnaturally/
Check the dashboard, fill up the gas tank/
You think we asked to be spoken of in past tense/
This is out of hand, I’m trying to be an honest man/
Gatorade and vodka, and pockets full of contraband/
My speech wasn’t built by technology/
My feet weren’t worn down by following/
The key to distorting the obvious/
Sits underneath a rock stowed on my property/
Let apathy improve its position/
Two can attest to its movement and rhythm/
Orbit the moon then consume the addiction/
Lord have mercy while we two fist the liquor.

I live like each song is my last one/
Last night fate made me burn the attraction/
To having everything, sacrifice integrity/
And pass that along to the class just ahead of me.

Open the bottles and pour me some poison/
Hope’s not an option, pretend that you’ve known this/
I don’t appreciate keeping up with your network/
Tired of hearing about the quality and texture/
Forget it all, what it means, what it never was,
Against the odds, they could never try to measure us/
After all, it continues to be a problem,
Another song keeping me out of the reach of coffins.

I live like each song is my last one/
Last night fate made me burn the attraction/
To having everything, sacrifice integrity/
And pass that along to the class just ahead of me.
