Sticky cards stick to my hands
They say i'm caged but i've learned how to stand
She can't know no one
Because the bus won't let her on
Smoking cigarettes, the streets they found
Burning my apartment to the ground
Become nothing when you've got the time
Spending weeks in the same dreams to show me a sign
The horns would have played for you today
You would have heard them if you had stayed
Looking down the road you feel bad
A journey to the last race you thought you had
The sun fades from the skies
Telling me to blink my eyes
Become nothing when you've got the time
Spending weeks in the same dreams to show me a sign
We had the time of our life
Sad to say i was living a lie
I was so happy with that monster
And now this is our final goodbye

Fun in the sun
What a human has done
Running in the clouds
And I could run another round
Setting with my eyes could make me wanna fly
Driving to the beach cause I do this all my life
Tell me look at the moon and I will
Too
What have I become
Another page from my book
Torn from my thumb
And I'm
Undone
Setting with my eyes could make me wanna fly
Driving to the beach cause I do this all my life
Tell me look at the moon and I will
Too
Ooooh

Trying to walk the path of my mind
And I wish I had the time
It feels like I had all the reason's but things don't feel so fine
Time's a concept not to waste
So I'm gonna use it to say
Spending all day in bed
I hope this rattles your head
I gotta see who will last, I'm starting to leave the past
Your head has gone to your legs
And here you shall stay
Out of my way
Climbing up the stairs of life
Blinded by the headlights
I walked around trying to get home but, holding on what you sought to own
Try not to brace too hard
When things go down
Spending all day in bed
I hope this rattles your head
I gotta see who will last, I'm starting to leave the past
Your head has gone to your legs
And here you shall stay
Out of my way

Witches wickedly maliciously ferociously
Burning brewing your undoing
Fourteenth century Devil's plaything
Lord of the game for who your hating
Planets melting like the sauna
Searching for my nirvana
Crust opens to reveal lava
Driving to Hell in my Honda

Da Da Da Da Da

Planets melting like the sauna
Searching for my nirvana
Crust opens to reveal lava
Driving to Hell in my Honda
Drowning sense of blackened magic
Hanging sentence for a dick pic
Grandma can't help but feel tragic
Her son had the witch sick
Planets melting like the sauna
Searching for my nirvana
Crust opens to reveal lava, Driving to Hell in my Honda

Cursing the ones who left you here
Point me in the direction of who and where
Circles of one's got stuck in the haze
Nights that remind me of hometown days
I never wanted to prove them wrong
We all sang the same old song
Dreams I have of us appear too bright
Cursing the photos that keep me at night
Good memories are haunting me
The graveyards pulling and I can barely breathe
Mirror's on the side are all I see
Buried the path that's behind me

Like the wheels on my chair keep on rolling
Adrenaline to keep me going
Writing about the gas I'm pumping
For whatever reason, I'll keep going
I don't want to sharp, no cropper
Through the fence no one will stop her
All the same things hit the wall
And I can't say I have the balls
The park at midnight They can't kick me
And the Banana it has stabbed me
I can't touch them with
All the chill that's in my hands
Under your spell because you matter
Blue-print on my brain scan
Steak knife broke the frying pan
Same old plan

I watched my ceiling fan spin
For a few hours last week
The smoke in the air is all I am
And all I’ll ever be
Brown walls take me back to the fall
Skin my hide see what’s inside
Traffic lights In my eyes
Bad memories and goodbyes
Never thought that I’d survive
Every night coincides
See how it fades away
And all that’s left is my decay
I want a life that will follow me into the dark
The hands that I’ve held have their own road
To embark
Brown walls take me back to the fall
Skin my hide see what’s inside
Traffic lights In my eyes
Bad memories and goodbyes
Never thought that I’d survive
Every night coincides
See how it fades away
And all that’s left is my decay

I drank too much, took a nap on the ground
Taking everything that's not tied down
Spending the nights in the clogged sewer
Arrested on the beach with a hot dog skewer
Sleep on the nails of everyone behind me
Bound by the vines that i can't see
I don't wanna be a bum man
Taking all my friends with me in the van
I don't wanna stay in the city
Watching LA suits, always being busy
Destination in the ground, i've drowned
Getting going for something new i've found
The color of the sun, black, damp colored holes
Trying not to break my parole
Leaving the town in one hour
Not being able to afford the shower
I don't wanna be a bum man
Taking all my friends with me in the van
I don't wanna stay in the city
Watching LA suits, always being busy

Everyone's deals got rearranged
Everything turned gray and misshaped
I wish the city kids would change
Nights set and we remain
Memory cards take all your social cues
And all of your childrens too
Blaming it all on hating me
Leaving for years, just let it be
Hit by the yellow lights they can't pass
All your conversions are so half assed
I loved the way your were interested in things
Turned into money and designer rings
There you thought you could trust her
Never seen a cloak rise sooner
Break the bank, the risk you take
Just for the fake love that you will make
All the tree’s have turned to the light
The man sitting there, he has no mind
Woke up in a room completely white
My reality check has been signed
Dead with the cells like the push of a button
Everything is to be forgotten
It's been 19 years and im freaking out
The crisis of what i'm all about

I’ve had my share swimming through the muscles and bones
Telling me they can’t find one true home
You can say I’ve planted this farm for myself
But nothing will defuse this bombshell
We’re having Fake funerals
When you haven’t died
Quote yourself on how
Your brain is fried
Grabbing folks and then some more
Feed all of their mind galore
Just to end up on your kitchen floor
The same hollow person that I’ve always been
I’m not sure if I’m comfortable living in my skin
Five years old they look and smile
Everyday living in denial
Break my face and steal my life
I’ll burn my bridges with a butter knife
We’re having Fake funerals
When you haven’t died
Quote yourself on how
Your brain is fried
Grabbing folks and then some more
Feed all of their mind galore
Just to end up on your kitchen floor
And when I die, my hands are dry
The underwater Illusion was all one big lie
We’re having Fake funerals
When you haven’t died
Quote yourself on how
Your brain is fried
Grabbing folks and then some more
Feed all of their mind galore
Just to end up on your kitchen floor

I wanna know what goes through your head
When people use mind games to trick you instead
Delusion is best when you feel depressed
The imagination of girls in your bed
Telling us that you’d rather die than go out outside
I heard you said
I heard you call me the day you were falling
Back to the nights of movies and molly
Lighting smokes from your kitchen stove
I loved you before this whole thing arose
Now you have heard what I have said
And everything has gone to your head
Just know I’m here but you will forget
And try to say I have worse intent
I heard you call me the day you were falling
Back to the nights of movies and molly
Lighting smokes from your kitchen stove
I loved you before this whole thing arose

Walk me home honey
I can’t feel my eyes
Just spent all my money
Heart beats like I could die
Brain in my sheath
I can’t see if I cant breathe
Run and hide to the beat
I can smell it, It’s so sweet
Skunk smell on my stereo
It soaks me to my bone
Blind to the white line
I think I lost my phone
Take control of my mind
Resolves until the end of time
My memories ain’t so nice
Hand me another Smirnoff Ice
