Can't take my heart from my sleeve God damn I'm a sensitive man With that said let me reiterate the facts Aint nobody got time for that I mean I simply I needed a fix And girl, you really did the trick But baby I'm over it I mean no disrespect But you knew right from the get That I wouldn't be what you expect So you need to understand what's next Babe I've gotta leave you alone You went ahead and cast the first stone What else am I to do? When you act so crazy Blowin' up my phone I think you're stalkin' me maybe I'm running away, okay Oh, I need to go All on my own Feet take me home I need to be alone

I wonder what this world would be like without testosterone showers Instead of pickin' up guns we're pickin' fruits and flowers Conflict mediation done with words not firepower This can only be achieved with women at the top of the tower Cause us men, our soldier's always at attention He gets amped up crazy thoughts whenever pussy's mentioned You'd stab a brother in the back just to get to that, that's sad But the bitch of it is, you're selling this to the kids I hope it passes like a fad You're a coward, wait let me say that a little louder You're a coward, hiding behind your wall of gunpowder See, all I gotta do is sneak back with a spliff and a match Blow a little smoke and a promise to make it all catch See that's the catch, You might get high But you'll die Won't have a chance to ask who, where, what or why How we got this far, it's unclear, but it's time we heard a battle cry If we live our days in fear, it's clear, that we're living the American Lie Scroungin' for our dime, it's time we do more than just get by I've got a lot of angst on my mind these days My tongue is forming words I can't escape Oh so sick of the struggle With my mouth in a muzzle Scream at the top of my lungs But it just comes out muffled You're staring at me puzzled, bewildered and befuddled Wonderin' if it's worth the trouble Just take a minute, find yourself in it You'll find a way, you'll find a way Pressure that's you're feeling, skull's filled to ceiling But you'll live to see another day Oh oh oh oh oh oh You'll live to see another day Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh You'll live to see another
3.
I take it all in tonight It made me feel alive It made me wanna survive Even in this worthless fight We all know the pain of the battle Just like a sailor, I take delight In the pink sky tonight Predictions of a clear sky Perfect for tomorrow's flight Can't wait to be free I need to be free Where the sky meets the sea We all know the pain of the battle Sometimes, we lose control of all we know Time is moving oh, so slow We've got to, we've got to let it go I'll take the lead if you follow Just take it in, in this flight It'll be alright It'll make you feel alive Sailing through clear, blue sky No worthless fight to survive Oh, we'll be just fine
4.
This elevation, I finally found a way, oh Celebrate this, dancin' in the rain, oh Soak in, retain, when it's not there it's you to blame Refrain, are you gonna stay the same You get the best of me You always got the best of me So, now I'm finally out on the road So much further to go But I'm finally out on the road I'll go where the wind doth blow We have but just one life to live So I'll run like the wind I've dreamt that I'll catch it I can't waste my time Holding onto you

I keep my distance All the while searching with persistence Oh deep inside there's resistance It's got me questioning my existence In this instance, if you could just lend me some assistance I would ride it out I tend to get caught up in my skull While my heart burns bright for acceptance So I write it down To clear my thoughts & then I shout But it's trite in this town Everyone's got a song & it's drowning out My words are hardly spoke I just scream & sing 'til you hear a sound And at times I choke But I always tear myself off the ground and say Who are they? Where they lay It must be covered with bones I'll get by, least I'll try In case I'll grab a few stones Surely one of us will die Won't be me, I've got steam Looks like I'm smothering coals It's your turn, lesson learned Shake up life or just play a role Clearly one of us here tries Oh, look at all this life I've stumbled upon C'mon just follow me down this road I've traveled, paid the tolls Maybe if you follow I could save your soul Maybe find your soul Reach out, rewind your soul Unenslave your soul
